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 Sr. 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 preamp 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 preamplifier.","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450380775527,"sku":"113827","price":54000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/universal-audio-610a-6rack_113827_1_40134a00-26de-40a0-92f8-ffc81bd90e02.jpg?v=1787092826","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/universal-audio-610a-x-6-racked-vintage","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
