LA-610 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Universal Audio previously re-issued the legendary 610 preamp and LA-2A compressor, but they’re not exactly cheap. The new LA-610 combines both units in a single case at a surprisingly affordable price. Huw Price samples a slice of American pie.

Price: £1,409.00
Manufacturer: Universal Audio
Website: http://www.uaudio.com

In the early days of studio recording, mixing desks were custom-made or built by in-house engineers. In Europe, Malcolm Toft was busy making Trident consoles, while Rupert Neve was fulfilling custom orders for top studios.
