Preamps / Channel Strips

Don’t have a great-sounding room? Can’t turn your amp up to get the sounds you want? Want to turn down your speaker without sacrificing your tube amp’s tonality? Maybe this changes everything...

The latest of many hardware emulations from Universal Audio reproduces a complete API channel strip in your DAW.

We check out this eight-channel preamp and A-D converter, the first four channels of which feature a solid-state/tube hybrid mic preamp based on the company's Twinfinity 710 and a compressor derived from their ever-popular 1176.

Just in case the line-up of plug-ins available for the UAD cards wasnt tempting enough already, Universal Audio have now added emulations of classic SSL hardware.

Which is best, tube or solid state? When it comes to investing in a preamp, thats a question you may no longer need to ask...

This unusual new preamp from UA is designed to make life easier, both for the recordist and 'the talent'.

The Solo 110 and Solo 610 are a pair of high-quality, no-frills preamps — one solid-state, the other valve.

Two classic designs — the 610 preamp and LA2A compressor — are combined for the first time in this attractive new reissue.
