  • Model LA-610 Channel Strip
    Model LA-610 Channel Strip Universal Audio Manual Number 65-0901 Revision 1.00 Universal Audio, Inc. www.uaudio.com 330 Encinal St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (831) 466-3737 voice (831) 466-3775 fax www.uaudio.com The LA-610 Channel Strip Thank you for purchasing the LA-610 Channel Strip. This unit combines a modified channel of our 2-610 Mic Pre with an LA2A style T4 Optical Compressor. Our 610 was inspired by the microphone preamp section of the 610 tube console designed by my father, M.T. “Bill” Putnam, in the 1950s. The 610 was a rotary-control console and was the first console of the modular design. Although technologically simple compared to modern consoles, the 610 possessed a warmth and character that kept it in demand for decades. As a prominent part of my father’s United/Western studios, the 610 was used on many classic recordings by Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan. The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, the Doors LA Woman, and Van Halen’s debut album were all recorded on the 610. The legendary Wally Heider used the 610 in his remote truck for many of his best-known live recordings. At Ocean Way Studios (formerly United), the 610 is lovingly preserved and still used in Studio B. The T4 Compressor element in the LA-610 is identical to the circuit components housed inside the T4 optical cell used on the legendary LA- 2A compressor. The heart and soul of the LA-2A is mostly a result of this special optical gain control element.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.

At Ocean Way Studios (formerly United), the 610 is lovingly preserved and still used in Studio B. Most of us at Universal Audio are musicians, recording engineers, or both, and we wanted to build a mic preamp that we’d be delighted to use ourselves. We love the recording process, and we really get inspired when the basic tracks are beautifully recorded. Our design goal for the 2-610 was to capture the original character of the 610, creating a preamp that would induce that “a-ha” feeling we’ve felt when hearing music recorded in its most natural, inspired form.

  • Analog | Digital | UAD Plug-Ins IT STARTED in 1958
    Analog | Digital | UAD Plug-Ins IT STARTED IN 1958. UA Founder Bill Putnam Sr. with Nat King Cole WELCOME TO UNIVERSAL AUDIO, CIRCA 2010. Pioneering audio recording technology for more than 50 years. Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., the Universal Audio name has been synonymous with innovative recording products since its inception. A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and more, the late Bill Putnam Sr. was a passionate innovator who is widely regarded as the father of modern recording — with many of his legendary studio and equipment designs still in use today. Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill’s sons, James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr., with two main goals: to faithfully reproduce classic analog recording equipment; and to design digital recording tools in the spirit of vintage analog technology. With nearly 80 employees and more than a decade of rapid growth, UA is today headquartered in Scotts Valley, California — where our classic analog gear is still hand-built, one unit at a time. Of course, analog is only half the story. At Universal Audio, we employ the world’s brightest DSP engi- neers and digital modeling authorities to develop our award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform, featuring the most authentic analog emulation plug-ins in the industry. Software or hardware, every UA product is backed by a 50-year legacy of innovation, superlative quality, and technical passion. 3 LEGENDARY ANALOG HARDWARE. SAME AS IT EVER WAS.
