Discover the SOLO/610 – Legendary Tube Warmth Anywhere You Go!

Bringing the 610 Legacy to a Single-Channel Box

Universal Audio’s SOLO/610 is a modern homage to the legendary Putnam 610 tube console – renowned for shaping the sound of iconic records from Frank Sinatra to Van Halen. This compact, all-tube preamp and DI delivers the same rich warmth, smooth harmonics, and vintage tone that made its predecessor famous, now in a format you can take anywhere.

Whether you’re tracking vocals, DI’ing a bass guitar, or adding color to a keyboard, the SOLO/610 provides unmistakable tube character and detailed sonic texture that elevates any source.

Vintage Tone Meets Modern Flexibility

While it captures the soul of classic analog gear, the SOLO/610 is designed with today’s needs in mind. It features continuously variable Gain and Level controls for precise tone sculpting, along with phantom power, a Lo-Cut filter, and Phase Reverse options for full control over your signal path.

The selectable impedance settings let you optimize the unit for different mics and instruments, ensuring that everything from vintage ribbon mics to high-impedance guitar pickups performs at its best.

A Workhorse for Any Setting

Compact yet robust, the Universal Audio SOLO/610 has a rugged steel chassis, built for real-world use. It’s equally at home in a professional studio, on a live stage, or sitting on your desktop rig. Whether you’re an engineer, producer, or performing musician, this box gives you the tone of a full console in a travel-ready footprint.

With dedicated DI features – including a Thru output for amp integration and a Ground Lift switch – the SOLO/610 is a favourite for bassists, guitarists, and synth lovers looking to capture analog warmth without sacrificing clarity or headroom.

Why the SOLO/610 Belongs in Your Signal Chain

If you’re looking for a tube preamp that’s equal parts heritage and utility, the Universal Audio SOLO/610 is an easy choice. Its sonic signature is lush, its build quality is exceptional, and its flexibility makes it one of the most well-rounded preamps in its class.
