Universal Audio 2-610 Stereo Tube Microphone Preamp EQ
The Universal Audio 2-610 review
To me and my sound it makes less sense to record a session through a set of equal preamps, instead I prefer colouration in most of the recordings I do and choose the preamps accordingly. It is basically mixing while recording. That is why I got this one because it’s colour is, I’d say a dark orange. The Drawmer 1960 would be a solid blue. Does this make sense to anyone? What I’m trying to say is that they are very different from another in many ways.
The EQ section on the UA 2-610 is very powerful, although it doesn’t seem like that at first. Whether recording or mixing, it helps lifting and shifting the perception into higher or lower areas. This is the preamp I turn to for colour. To compare the recording or mixing process to that of a painter using oil and canvas comes to mind quickly and is often cited. What the reviews say about this preamp is simply true.
