UA announces SOLO/110 and SOLO/610 single-channel units



SOLO/110 Precision Class A Mic Pre & DI Box

The SOLO/110 brings the "ultra fidelity" and tonal variety of UA's flagship Precision 110 series mic preamplifiers to the single channel format in a rugged, highly versatile form factor at a price every project studio can afford. The Class A Precision SOLO/110 delivers uncompromised dynamics and clarity while still sounding warm and friendly with an all-discrete, class-A, direct-coupled circuit path. The SOLO/110 will flatter the cheapest to the most esoteric microphone with its signature sound. Unlike stationary rack gear, the SOLO 110 can be conveniently used in the control room or recording room, on stage or desktop, due to its portable "go anywhere" design. Functionally lean but sonically mean, the SOLO/110 mirrors the sound of UA's flagship Precision line, and has the same solid build and audiophile components from the Precision 8110/4110.

The SOLO/110 offers Mic and DI inputs, and features continuous Gain and Level control and combines the tonal variety of the Precision "Shape" switch found on its more expensive cousins right into the unit's gain structuring. The SOLO/110 has all the essential features like 48v Phantom Power, Lo Cut filtering, Phase Reverse, and for even greater tonal variety, maintains the Precision's flexible dual impedance selection for both Mic and DI inputs. The SOLO/110 also includes essential DI features like Thru for when used in conjunction with an amplifier, plus Ground Lift and and a versatile Mic/Line level output switch.

No pricing info yet, and they don't seem to be listed on any dealer's sites that I could find. Just what I need - another easier-to-rationalize-the-price-of 'black box'.

Damn, now I gotta go take a cold shower.

Gear makers are sure getting into the multi-use, table top/floor interfaces...this one looks pretty decent....

Didn't Millenia start this with their preamp/DI/reamp all in one box?

A Harmony Central forum quoted them starting at 699

Anybody try these out yet?

Is it the same preamp as is the LA-610? Just without the compressor?

I have the same question as Snarf. Has anyone tried these out yet?

I got tired of waiting for a decent review, and my local dealer didn`t have the units in, so i tried the UA 6176 and ended up buying it
