Universal Audio LA610 Mk. 2
The Universal Audio LA610 Mk. 2 is a second-generation revamp of the original 2005 LA610 design. While the preamp and compressor are identical to the original Universal Audio LA610 Mk. 2 that users have come to know and love, user-requested features such as true compressor bypass, larger metering, improved output signal, an auto-sensing power supply have been added bringing the end user an enhanced user experience. The Universal Audio LA610 Mk. 2 is based on the legendary console modules developed by Bill Putnam in the 60's. Noted for their musical character and warmth, countless classics from Sinatra to Van Halen have been recorded using these preamps. After the preamp section, the Universal Audio LA610 MkII offers the T4 optical compressor. The simple operation and program dependent nature of the Universal Audio LA610 Mk. 2 T4 compressor provides the same extremely musical control that has made the LA-2A such a well-loved classic for over 40 years.
