Advances in digital recording technology are providing users with
tremendous power and flexibility for increasingly less money. All too
often, however, the audio quality of these systems is limited by their
input stages. Many users who demand the power and flexibility of
today’s recording technology find themselves yearning for the warmth
and tone of yesteryear’s hand-built analog circuitry. Now with the
release of the 6176, Universal Audio, for the first time, combines
their highly acclaimed 610 tube microphone preamp with their legendary
1176LN compressor to create the ultimate single channel signal path for
everything from vocals to vibraphones.
610B Mic Pre
The 2-610 microphone and instrument preamplifier has received praise
from many corners. Michael Cooper, in his review for Mix Magazine,
called it “hands-down, the most dimensional mic preamp I've ever
heard…” Peter Wade, engineer/producer who has worked with acts ranging
from Wyclef Jean to Jennifer Lopez, said simply, “This box rocks.” The
6176 mic preamp sections maintains the quality and character of the
2-610 while adding high-tension power regulation for improved bass
response and a front-panel 15db pad switch.
1176LN Limiting Amplifier
As legendary engineer/producer Andy Johns put it, “The 1176LN is the
workhorse compressor.” The 1176LN may well be the most loved compressor
in history. Its trademark lightning-quick attack and release times and
the tone of it’s Class A output amplifier have enhanced countless
recordings over the last thirty-five years. We’ve recreated the 1176LN
for the compressor section of the 6176 with the same exacting,
attention to detail and tradition we use on our 1176LN. The resulting
character, heritage and tone simply cannot be found on other channel
strip units.
