Universal Audio Solo 110 & 610

soundonsound.com

Universal Audio’s Solo 110 and Solo 610 preamps are robust, high-quality units offering distinct sonic signatures. The Solo 110 delivers a modern, open sound with impressive dynamics, while the Solo 610 provides a richer, vintage tone. Both models are praised for their rugged construction and classy sound, although the metering is somewhat superficial. Ideal for diverse applications, from studio to stage, these preamps are a worthwhile investment for those seeking quality and durability in a portable format. If budget permits, they’re a compelling choice for discerning audio professionals.

Field Test: Universal Audio Solo 610/110 Mic Pre/DI

mixonline.com

The Universal Audio UA-S110 SOLO/110 Precision Class A Microphone Preamp and DI Box impresses with its robust design, versatility, and sound quality at an accessible price point. The preamps excel across applications, delivering warm, full tones, particularly for bass and kick drums. The 610 model's tube-driven richness contrasts with the 110's cleaner, precise sound, offering users distinct options. However, minor issues like unclear switch labeling and a flimsy handle slightly detract from its usability. Despite these quirks, the units' performance, affordability, and portability make them standout choices for both studio engineers and musicians seeking quality sound.
