Get the All-Tube 610 Console Mic Preamp Sound in a Rugged, “Go Anywhere” Design
The SOLO/610 delivers the classic Putnam 610 tube console sound in a portable, highly versatile mic preamp design. It provides the silky, vintage warmth of the original console’s mic amp design, and will flatter and enhance any microphone or instrument with its iconic tones. Thanks to its convenient form factor, the SOLO/610 can be conveniently used in the control room or the recording room, on stage, or on a desktop. Functionally lean but sonically mean, the SOLO/610 maintains the character of the 610 console — at a price every serious project studio can afford.
What They Say
The Solo 610 is a study in form and function. I can't find anything wrong with this preamp and that is why I don't go a day without using it.
I'm trying to find reasons to get this preamp out of my studio. I have a small lair with a couple clones (1176, neve, 1272) and this and an avalon 747. Bass is clean, clear and phat! Vocals sound nice. Butter comes to mind. I'll update this soon as I'm trying to do a lot with it. What I like is how the lo and hi z and lo cut and your gain /level setting can impact the sound you get.

Difference Maker For Home Studio
Been using an ISA Two for many years with my Neumann's and AKG's but the UA added exactly what I was craving - brought red wine warmth & richness to everything I put through it. As a DI for my P bass.. it was a stunner. Should have purchased 2 of these years ago.

Great Purchase!
Absolutely Love this Unit!
Recordings are so much better now!
Even though I’m completely mixing ITB, the sound still retains the analogue warmth of the tube!
