Use Mic Pre & Compressor Seperately (Split) or in Series (Join)
610B Mic Pre The 2-610 microphone and instrument preamplifier has received praise from many corners. Michael Cooper, in his review for Mix Magazine, called it hands-down, the most dimensional mic preamp I've ever heard. Peter Wade, engineer/producer who has worked with acts ranging from Wyclef Jean to Jennifer Lopez, said simply, This box rocks. The 6176 mic preamp sections maintains the quality and character of the 2-610 while adding high-tension power regulation for improved bass response and a front-panel 15db pad switch.
1176LN Limiting Amplifier
As legendary engineer/producer Andy Johns put it, The 1176LN is the workhorse compressor. The 1176LN may well be the most loved compressor in history. Its trademark lightning-quick attack and release times and the tone of it's Class A output amplifier have enhanced countless recordings over the last thirty-five years. We've recreated the 1176LN for the compressor section of the 6176 with the same exacting, attention to detail and tradition we use on our 1176LN. The resulting character, heritage and tone simply cannot be found on other channel strip units.

Legendary Strip with all the bells and whistles.
Legendary Strip with all the bells and whistles. This piece sings. If you record than you owe it to yourself to buy the 6176 by UA. I have tried them all and this still remains the best. The EQ is the icing on the cake. A 610 plus 1176, just makes this piece the best there is. Perfection. AMS paymen...
