While there was never a '610 console' made available as an off-the-shelf product, a couple dozen custom boards were made with these units, for the likes of Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBill Putnam made a number of custom consoles in the early days, and the 610 unit was the result of those designs, with a switchable line pad, low and hi EQ, and echo send. The unusual triangular shape of the 610 pre-amp is due to the fact that it was made as a modular plug-in unit to fit directly into a chassis for use on the console. Thus it was conveniently angled for use on the board, rather than being designed for rack-mounting. Very few of these units were made, and most of them are still in their custom consoles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday's modern 2-610, M610 (mono) and 6176 channel strips from Universal Audio all owe their heritage to the original 610 mic pre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePSU (after-market)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449735016551,"sku":"36681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/universal_audio_610_vk_racked_pair__352_357__vintage__4983994_5c776d5b-b8f5-4464-a8e2-b2e6bf892b43.jpg?v=1787090190","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/universal-audio-610-vk-racked-pair-352-357-vintage","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
