so, after spending about an hour A/B'ing the two, i would have to say that the LA 610 MKII is in a 3-way tie for second place (along with the Focusrite ISA 430 MK II and the Avalon VT737SP) of the 'big four' channel strips that i own. Universal Audio LA-610 MkII Classic Tube Recording Channel All-tube mic preamp design derived from legendary Bill Putnam-designed 610 modular console. its not just that the 1176LN not only responds/tracks better, but it also adds a completely different type of punch and immediacy to the sound that the LA-2 doesn't. In addition to the LA-610, Universal Audio has released reproductions of the classic Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifier and 1176LN Limiter as well as the 610 tube preamp and 2108 microphone preamplifier, which is based on the.
it distorts alot easier too (i already knew that it would). In addition, the LA-610 has a line level input for use as a dedicate compressor with or without EQ and tube saturation.
the LA-2 type tube opto comp in the LA 610 is alot slower to respond and duller sounding than the FET based 1176LN. Universal Audio LA 610 MkII Classic Tube Recording Channel A Classic Tube Microphone Preamp & LA 2A-Style Compressor in a Single Unit The LA 610 MkII. Universal Audio LA-610 MkII Classic Tube Recording Channel combines the all-tube 610 preamp with 2-band EQ and LA-2A-Style compression in a single unit. both of the 610 preamp sections sound identical (which is awesome and the best i've ever heard), but, for me the 1176LN in the 6176 is ALOT better comp for a bass. While the LA 610 MKII is really great sounding, i prefer the 6176 by quite a bit. My Universal Audio LA 610 MKII finally arrived to today and i got a chance to compare it to my UA 6176 a little while ago.
