UAD 610 Pre-Amp Collection

UAD plug-in collection featuring UA 610-A and 610-B tube channel strips for UAD Native and Apollo DSP systems.

Timeless warmth and punch for your vocals and instruments. Introduced in 1960, Bill Putnam Sr.’s 610 modular consoles were among the first mixing desks purpose built for audio recording. The channel strips at the heart of the 610 did more than capture audio — they transformed it with rich tube harmonics and saturation that made any source sound better. The UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection gives you the same warmth and vintage sound heard on generations of classic recordings, perfect for making vocals and instruments stand out in your mix.

Add Tube Warmth to Vocals, Guitars, Keys, and Drums
Bill Putnam Sr.’s 610 modular recording consoles were the first of their kind. The UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection gives you the same rich harmonics and flattering tube saturation of the iconic hardware. Just add it to a track in your session, and hear nearly any element in your mix stand out with added warmth and presence. 

A One-Two Punch of Classic 610 Sound
Both plug-ins included in the UA 610 collection give you a range of vintage tones that the hardware was known for. Enjoy colorful saturation with the 610-A, perfect for warming up any source. Or use the slightly cleaner 610-B to add presence to vocals and acoustic instruments. 

Vintage Tone for Your Modern Mixes 
The channel strips included in UA 610 collection were designed to make your mixes sound better the minute you pull them up. Simply add a 610 preamp first in your signal chain, and hear the same tone heard on recordings by everyone from Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, and Neil Young, to countless modern artists.*

Record Through an Iconic Preamp with Unison Technology
If you own an Apollo audio interface with Unison™ technology, you’ll get the most authentic experience of recording through a 610 channel strip in realtime. With all the unique gain-staging “sweet spots” — it’s like plugging into the front end of a classic analog console right in your DAW. 

Enjoy Popular UAD Channel Strips Natively
With the included UAD Native plug-in versions, you can get authentic 610 tube warmth on any system — no Apollo or UA hardware required. This means you’ll have access to the same vintage tools reserved for high-end analog studios, no matter where your music takes you.
