Universal Audio LA-610 Mk II Classic Tube Recording Channel Review
The Universal Audio LA-610 Mk II blends vintage tube tone with modern upgrades, making it a favorite for producers and engineers alike. Its tube preamp is based on the legendary 610 console used by Bill Putnam in the '60s, offering warm saturation and dynamic range. Paired with a T4-style optical compressor inspired by the Teletronix LA-2A, it smooths out vocals and instruments with ease. The Mk II also includes true compressor bypass, a universal power supply, better metering, and selectable input impedance, giving you the flexibility and control needed in a modern studio.
