With the SOLO/610, Universal Audio gives you access to the sound of the legendary preamps of Bill Putnam's 610 Series consoles, which appeared in the 60s.

The tube-like sound of the SOLO/610 is the same as that obtained with the 6176, LA610 and 2-610.

Designed to be easily transportable, the SOLO/610 is a preamp to take with you everywhere when you need to record vocals or guitar.

The SOLO/610 offers a microphone input and a D.I., and has Gain and output level controls: by playing with them, you can make the tube work more or less.

The SOLO/610 is equipped with a magnificent D.I section for bass guitars and offers a THRU output that allows you to enter an amp or a monitoring section to monitor without any latency when recording in your DAW.

The SOLO/610 is hand-assembled in the USA and the internal wiring is done with Mogami.
