UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection
-
La modélisation authentique de ce préampli micro à lampes – avec technologie Unison™ pour les interfaces Apollo.
Quand Bill Putnam Sr., le fondateur d'Universal Audio, a présenté le préampli 610 Modular Amplifier à l'aube des années 60, l'événement fit date dans l'histoire de l'enregistrement audio. Le 610 a gagné sa popularité auprès des producteurs de disques par ses étonnants détails harmoniques, son écrêtage caractéristique et riche, ainsi que sa capacité à saturer le signal de façon chaleureuse et musicale.
Le préampli 610-A d'origine a été partie intégrante d'innombrables enregistrements de légende – de Pet Sounds des Beach Boys à At Folsom Prison de Johnny Cash. Sa variante moderne, le 610-B, a été quant à lui utilisé pour créer de nouveaux classiques, comme les récents disques d'Adele ou de Cold War Kids. Aujourd'hui, vous pouvez ajouter cette présence, cette chaleur et ce corps aux voix, guitares, basses et autres sources avec la collection de plug-ins UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ pour UAD-2 et interfaces Apollo.Vous pouvez maintenant :
Donner à vos pistes la présence, le corps et la chaleur saisissante des lampes
Enregistrer en temps réel « au travers » de modélisations des préamplis à lampes 610-A ou 610-B avec une Apollo Twin, DUO ou QUAD
Mixer et saturer les signaux avec n'importe quel système UAD-2 pour retrouver cet emblématique éclat des lampes
Utiliser le plug-in 610-A pour obtenir le son de la console « Green Board » de Wally Heider, utilisée pour enregistrer Neil Young, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley et Jimi Hendrix
Obtenir le caractère inhérent au trajet du signal intégral du 610, y compris les comportements non linéaires des amplificateurs à lampes, des transformateurs et du circuit
Contrôler le gain et l'impédance du préampli micro de l'interface Apollo directement depuis le plug-in grâce à la technologie Unison™

Featuring the UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ plug-in
La première véritable émulation de préampli à lampes 610
Après plus de trois ans de développement, la collection UA 610 représente la première modélisation complète du légendaire préampli à lampes 610-A et de sa variante moderne, le 610-B – y compris de leurs composants à lampe et transformateurs, ainsi que de l'ensemble des caractéristiques de distorsion propres aux originaux.
Le 610-A est modélisé à partir d'une tranche de l'illustre console « Green Board » de Wally Heider, utilisée pour enregistrer Neil Young, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley et Jimi Hendrix, offrant un simple égaliseur en plateau à 10 kHz pour les aigus et 100 Hz pour les graves. Le 610-B, un peu plus moderne, offre un réglage d'impédance d'entrée, une correction en plateau variable des graves et des aigus, et une plage de gain élargie.
Technologie Unison pour interfaces Apollo
Grâce à la technologie Unison d'UA, l'UA 610 Preamp & EQ Collection lève les frontières entre analogique et numérique en vous restituant l'intégralité de l'impédance du 610, le sweetspot ou « zones idéales » de l'étage de gain, et les comportements du circuit qui en ont fait une légende. Et tout comme leurs homologues hardware, les deux plug-ins 610 acceptent les niveaux micro et ligne, avec un choix de réglage d'impédance entre 500 Ω et 2,0 kΩ sur le 610-B. Avec en plus le gain de préampli physique de l'Apollo, ce système vous offre une palette tonale qui s'étend du son clair à la distorsion vintage – avec une multitude de réglages intermédiaires aussi agréables que musicaux.
Donnez la couleur des lampes à n'importe quelle source
Les possesseurs d'UAD-2 et d'Apollo peuvent utiliser la collection UA 610 pour le mixage, en ajoutant une coloration et une saturation à n'importe quelle source et ce, sans sortir de l'ordinateur. Injectez à vos pistes cette compression naturelle à la chaleur légendaire qui a fait la réputation du 610, et qui vous permet de placer parfaitement les instruments dans le mixage tout en leur donnant ce riche caractère typique des lampes.
“Thanks to Unison™ technology, I feel bad for my 610 hardware. The UAD 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection is so easy to use and it sounds the same. Turn one knob up, then one knob down and it sounds good.”

Another home run for UA!
I got the 610B with my Apollo twin, and was pretty impressed with the plugin. It seemed to add very nice qualities to any recorded signal. But then I demoed the 610A and I'm still blown away by the euphonic sound!
The 610A is quickly becoming a must-have tool for my music projects. I cannot A/B against a real 610 hardware but IMHO these emulations are yet again a "level up" in modelled nonlinear audio processing. The Unison technology has vast potential and no doubt UA will introduce more sonic goodness as Unison pre plugins in the near future.
My only gripe with this plugin is the intense DSP cost (justifiable because of the sound, but still!). Hopefully (solid state?) upcoming pre emus will be possible with a smaller DSP footprint?A. Joyce
Bangin PI but it doesn't drive like the hardware...
You can hear the color and it's a nice addition to any track but it certainly doesn't act like it's hardware counterpart when you drive it hard. Bit of a resource hog as well... I'm sure it will come in handy for something. This is one I should have test drove first... my bad.

What a wonderful tool
This changes everything for me. I always load it up and see what it can do to a sound I plan to record.
I have a Fender Twin Amp with a drive channel, but it does not go that far when it comes to gain. So I load up either the A or the B version, depending on whichever I prefer for that sound. Push the 610 til I get the most wonderful compression that smoothes out a slightly harsh and incomplete guitar sound.
It's the kind of compression I have only experienced from an actual guitar amp, and have been hoping someone would be able to capture in a plug-in.
Here it is !
And the incredible fatness of the A-version eq, comes into use with this kind of amp too.
I love the way I can shape the sound for the better with this plug-in

AMAZING!
Well I have used the 610 preamp for many years, and have been addicted to that sound on everything I recorded! Saw the mail from UA and thought, hmm its for free, it cant be that good. But OMG it adds the fatness and richness that you'd expect from the hardware. High on DSP, but what an amazing plugin. This is really a new age of digital audio recording along with the Unison technology. THANKS UA!

My eye rolling became a blank stare!
I've purchased my share of API 512C's etc lately & was under the impression that there did not need to be any additional "preamp treatment" on the drums I've become accustomed to recording, now that we have a really nice 25 year old set that has aged beautifully . . .
I noticed that UA was requesting a "review of my latest purchase" so I thought I'd see if the UA 610B was amongst my current plugin choices and sure enough, there it was . . . so I pulled up last night's drum tracking & I was really quite surprised almost immediately.
I added it to several of the drums and let 'er rip. After clicking a few presets (UA always has pretty great places to start with these things!!) I was in love with the 610B. Nice character & edge. Glorious!E. Portugal
The right harmonics to every instrument
I was skeptical about it. I wanted to be skeptical about it! Then I tried it on a complex mix, where I was struggling a bit to make the kick drum stand out, the acoustic guitars weren't cutting like they should and all.
MY LORD!!! These pre-amps just did the job! Even leveling things to the same volume, everything found its way through! It's like they add the right harmonics to every instrument!
UAD made spend money again!!! :
At least it'll turn back in more jobs :)T. Liljegren
Breathtaking!!!!
This channel strip is such a big hype in the music business so I suspected it wouldn't impress on me all the way to heaven. I inserted it first in the chain in the master bus channel, and HOLY BIBLE how I was wrong. Just couldn't believe my ears. The 610 A and B is from now my first choice. It just sweeps the floor with the Helios 69 EQ which used to be my first choice among the Harrison 32. I'm more than satisfied. Definately a MUST buy!
J. Perno
Excellent emulation
I just A/B'ed the plugin extensively with my real 610b. I have to say this emulation is pretty spot on! Having said that I will say that the plugin version is a little noisier than my hardware. I am attributing that to the preamps on the hardware of the Apollo rather than the plugin itself.
In all, I would say that this is a highly usable plugin and dead accurate as far as sound goes. I would have no problem tracking loud sources with it. You may hear the slightly greater noise floor on quieter sources but I can't wait to try this emulation when I am tracking louder sources such as drums.
If the API is as every bit of good as the 610b emulation, It makes it easy to make the API channel strip my next purchase.M. Rdz
THAT'S NICE !!
i just did an A/B test hardware vs plugin ! I don't know if i'll ever turn on my hardware again. UA now just need to work on DPS consumption !
M. Mathieson
Great, again.
sounds fantastic. super creamy. the high shelves are extremely pleasant. It is really impressive to be able to emulate such sought after tube character, without the actual tube.
It's DSP hungry, but there aren't many variables you would fidget with, so once you get it how you want you can just print it, and take your DSP back. Or even better print on record through Apollo if you're using one
It also works as a great distortion when you push it. I'm going to buy it.S. Hasan
UA 610 Tube Preamp Plug-In Collection
Great stuff, lots of color, tried in on an UAD Apollo, Its almost like have the 610 recording console
Must have for all Apollo owners.E. Richter
This Plugin blows me away.
I tried this new plug in with my Neumann microphone an it blows me away. The warmth, the body and the super sweet high frequencies are amazing. It's like working with another microphone. The vocal now fits better in the mix. I LOVE IT.
Absolutly great from UA.
Thanks.N. Afflitto
Holy ************?!!!?!?!
Ok I'm the first review here. First of all, thank you UA for the free plug. It's like getting four free mic pre's with my Apollo Quad. I just spent the last hour flipping back and forth between this 610B emulation and my Heritage 73jr in my 500 rack. The Heritage was almost a grand. The 610 was free. They were so freaking close it was scary. Maybe the UAD was missing just a hint of that transformer weight, but that is seriously splitting hairs. It's incredible. Thank you. I know this platform has its share of internet debate. This should end it. Love the orange lights too.
J. Walker
Been waiting for the 610!
There's really nothing like the analog version. The first few hours with this plug-in have been impressive. That "clean to creamy" sound is there. I'm how using this with the Fairchild and VOG as a bass guitar preamp.
R. Jenkins
INSTANT VIBE!!!
This Plug'In is SICK!!! Instant vibe... If You're looking for guts and all of that analog "fuzz", get this Plug-In. Amazing. This along with the Ampex gives me essentially what I've been hearing forever. Just wish it wasn't so DSP hungry.

UA 610 Tube Preamp Clollection
The UA 610 Tube Preamp Collection, I have been waiting for this for the last 4 years and am so glad UA have finally released these plug ins. I'll make this short they make anything sound fat and warm but still retain that smooth top end like only good vintage gear can do, push the input and its big and nasty. This is a winner in my opinion my go to good vibe tool. Well done UA keep up the good work your the best.
C. King
75% There….
The issue with plugins that emulate hardware is…is they're not hardware. It's a snapshot of the character of hardware that fluctuates according to how it's been written. Plugins simply lacks being 'alive'.
So are these emulations crazy good which make me want to unload my hardware…ummm, no. But, do they help the sonic character? Well, yeah but it's like placing an emulated EQ on the source. If plugins would give me the harmonics and dimension of hardware I would give it 6 stars!M. Hulse
So versatile it even sounds awesome on guitar!!!
Just for fun I tried the 610 on guitar. I could not believe how good it sounded when I cranked the pre -unbelievable breakdown. I just had to write about it. When I added the CS-1 it was even better. It's not just that it sounded good, it sounded authentic. For me it sounded like a nice Marshall stack breakdown. I was floored. I don't usually write reviews on gear, but this was such a nice surprise I wanted to share it.

Uncertain
I immediately got the full package after I got my eMail from Uaudio, thinking I couldn't do wrong with that. Installed the plugin, hooked up my guitar and tried to get some warm tube distortion going. But lo and behold.. Even with the normal preamp gain all the way down, when inserting the UA610 (A or B) and cranking up the input and master gain all the way, then pulling down the output volume.. I get the distortion of the normal Apollo preamp which I know quite well by now. This is nothing like banging a real 610.
So it seems the plugin controls the normal preamp too, which is kind of cool but should not result in too few headroom to really explore the distortion of the simulated preamp :(
So, mixed feelings, lets see how this goes on.
