Product information
The Universal Audio 6176 is a classic tube microphone preamp and compressor in one device. It features both the tube tones of the legendary 610 mic preamp designed by Bill Putnam and the unique FET compression of the Universal Audio 1176LN. The 6176 is a unique channel strip with a warm and smooth sound characteristic that is second to none. It is not surprising that it is used in many studios around the world and has already demonstrated its sound capabilities on countless recordings by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Van Halen. The preamplifier and compressor can be connected in series and used separately from each other. It is also equipped with a shelving EQ for high and low frequencies.

About Universal Audio

Pioneer in audio recordings for more than 50 years

Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has always been synonymous with   innovative recording equipment . A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and others, Bill was a passionate innovator who is considered the Vater of modern audio recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still used today. B. Putnam was the inventor of the modern   Sound console , des   Multiband audio equalizer   and he was the first engineer to   artificial reverberation   used in commercial recordings. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Bill was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, known as a busy entrepreneur, founded three audio product companies during his long career:   Universal Audio ,   Studio Electronics   and   Urei . All three companies built equipment that was widely used upon introduction and would shape studio sound for generations. The boutique compressors LA-2A and 1176 and the 610 tube console are among these legends. With the 610 mixing console, greats like...   Sinatra , the   Beach Boys   and   Van Halen   their studio albums.
Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill's sons James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr. A twofold approach was planned: On the one hand, the classic analogue recording devices were to be faithfully reproduced in the tradition of his father; and on the other hand, the sound and spirit of Vintage analog technology should be in the   new digital recording tools   are used.

Impressive effects pedals for guitarists and special guitar recording tools such as the Universal Audio OX are now also part of the range and are extremely popular with fans of outstanding sound.
