Sometimes you want the highest of high-fidelity preamplification for the purest sound of the source and the mic you put on it possible. For all other times there's the Universal Audio Solo/610. Not that this preamp muddies or distorts your signal at all. Well it does if you want it to. Never mind that— what I mean to say is: this is the quintessential flattering pre.

The classic desktop Solo/610 preamplifier uses the same circuit as the legendary Bill Putnam-design 610 console. Plugging just about any microphone into this thing and feeding it just about any source will yield instant, classic, musical tones. Watch the video to hear what we're talking about.
