Universal Audio 710
100% Tube to 100%
Solid State - a Variable Tone Blending Mic Preamp & DI
The award-winning 710 Twin-Finity is a radically new UA mic preamp design
that combines both the classic retro warmth of tubes with the transient bite of
solid-state, all in a 2U, half-rack unit. The 710 was created specifically to
add the tonal versatility and sonic inspiration missing from generic audio
interface preamps. Tone blending is continually variable between 100% tube and
100% solid-state, offering a practically infinite range of unique preamp tones,
plus the ability to easily dial-in your own signature sound. There are lots of
sensibly priced solid-state and tube preamplifiers out there, but the 710 is the
only one that offers the best of both worlds - as well as everything in-between
- all in one box, and within reach of any serious project studio's
budget.

The key to its sonic flexibility lies in its innovative circuit
design, featuring a solid-state transimpedance input amp simultaneously driving
separate, phase-aligned tube and solid-state gain stages, which are then summed
to a single output.. The mix between the 310 volt single-ended class-A triode
tube stage and solid-state transimpedance stage is controlled via the "Blend
Knob" labeled "∞". Blending is continually variable between 100% tube and 100%
solid-state offering a practically infinite range of unique pre-amp tones and
the ability to easily dial-in your own signature sound.
Like all our
other preamp designs, the 710 features dual gain-stage controls (Gain/Level)
which can radically vary the amount of coloration and distortion by allowing you
to crank up the input gain like a guitar amp. The VU meter features a unique
"Drive" mode allowing you to see how hard you are driving the input
stage.
Versatility makes the 710 the perfect preamp partner for any mic
collection. Plus, the discrete JFET DI input circuit can also easily handle any
electric instrument. Guitar and bass players will especially appreciate the 710s
ability to bring out the best of both active and passive pickups. The 710
Twin-Finity includes a 19" rack-kit for mounting one or two units.
