For a limited time, Universal Audio is giving away the UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection, including both UAD Native and Apollo DSP versions, for free!
First introduced in 1960 by Bill Putnam Sr., the tube-amplified 610 modular console was among the first mixing desks purpose-built for audio recording. The channel strips at the heart of the 610 defined the sound of modern recording with their rich tube harmonics and saturation.
Free for a limited time, the UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection delivers the same warmth and vintage sound that shaped generations of classic records, perfect for making vocals and instruments stand out in any modern mix.
