Universal Audio 4-710d 4 Channel Tone-Blending Mic Preamp

Classic tube and solid-state tones with 1176-style compression and professional A/D conversion.

Universal Audio 4-710d features four high-end mic/line preamps with a unique tube/solid-state tone blending circuit. At the same time, it has a classic 1176-style compression on each mic channel. Also, the 4-710d also offers tons of digital I/O to expand your setup.

Bring your Mic Collection to Life with a Wide Range of UA Preamp Tones

At the core of the 4-710d are four channels of tone-blending “Twin-Finity” mic preamps. Additionally, each channel offers 100% tube and 100% solid-state signal path. 4-710d also has the ability to continuously blend between the two circuits. Consequently, this gives you tons of textures — from creamy to crunchy — and lets you dial in the perfect amount of tube grit or solid-state sheen.

A Legendary Compression Circuit within 4-710d

In fact, each of the 4-710d’s four channels features true-bypass 1176-style compression, including specially tuned “fast” and “slow” settings. This enables quick, on-the-fly tweaking for fattening up a vocal, hold a bass guitar in place, or for adding sizzle and texture to synths and horns.

Add Inputs and Professional A/D Conversion

With eight analog inputs, the 4-710d is perfect for expanding your studio. Specifically digitized via ultra high-quality 24-bit A/D converters at selectable sample rates up to 192 kHz, the 4-710d easily connects to most interfaces with its dual ADAT optical or AES/EBU DB-25 connectors.
