UA 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ

By emulating the entire signal path, including tube amplifiers, transformers, and circuit nonlinearities, the 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ plug-in injects organic detail and saturation to any signal — whether you’re re-amping or tracking through the 610-B via Universal Audio’s Unison™ technology.
Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier
The undisputed alpha dog of rock and roll guitar amps, the Marshall “plexi” amplifier is as legendary as the music it helped create. From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. Developed by Softube, the Marshall Plexi Classic Amp plug-in gives you the sound of this iconic amp with a perfectly placed microphone from engineer Tony Platt who recorded AC/DC’s Back in Black and Highway to Hell.
Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier (Legacy)
With its gentle, program dependent optical compression and meticulously designed tube amplifier, the LA-2A is the go-to compressor for professional mixers around the world — especially for vocals. Incredibly easy-to-use Peak Reduction and Gain controls gives you the ideal optical compression sound for guitar, bass, drums, and more.

Get classic, ultra-fast FET compression from the world’s most recognized compressor. The 1176 will impart punch, presence, and character as well as its signature distortion overtones on drums, vocals, guitars, and bass. The 1176LN has graced countless recordings, from Led Zeppelin, to the White Stripes and Michael Jackson.
Pultec® Pro Equalizers (Legacy)
Mix with two of the most sought-after hardware EQs ever made — the MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer and the EQP-1A Program Equalizer. Both of these tube-based icons deliver smooth and silky EQ curves with an abundance of warm analog character.
Ampeg® SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp
Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT bass amp is still the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone. Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp plug-in perfectly captures the raw power and punch that has made this the go-to amp for rock, funk, and soul players. Track in real time using Unison™ preamp technology for the tone, touch, and feel of a real SVT bass amp, or transform bland DI tracks with the thunderous roar of a stone cold classic.
Precision Mix Rack Collection
Featuring the Precision Channel Strip, Precision Reflection Engine, and Precision Delay Modulation plug-ins, the Precision Mix Rack Collection offers four modern, high-fidelity plug-ins for recording and mixing. Powerful and intuitive, Precision Mix Rack Collection gives you an impressive tool set — perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.
Raw Distortion
Modeled from a vintage early-’80s Pro Co Rat, Raw Distortion delivers all the gritty dynamic raunch of the legendary stompbox. And with Unison™ technology, you can plug in to Apollo Twin, 8, or 8p’s front-panel Hi-Z instrument jack and experience the same circuit interaction, gain range, and clip points for the true tone, feel, and response of the original hardware.
RealVerb Pro
RealVerb Pro is a flexible, natural sounding reverb based on UA’s own unique set of algorithms. Allowing you to design the room just as you hear it, the RealVerb Pro goes beyond simply big/small or dark/bright, giving your sources distortion-free, smoothing diffusion control and ultra-long reverb tail.

The Best!
There is nothing like the quality and flexibility of the UA economy of gear! UA plugins sound identical to their analog counter parts. There are times I chose to use the 610b plugin instead of the actual unit I had sitting next to me!

Amazing sound
Simply the best desktop interface ever.

Does what it says on the box!
After dabbling with recording and sound design with a few products on a few platforms for a decade, I think it's safe to say going with Universal Audio was worth the wait. I even had my older interfaces nearby for some testing... It was no contest.
Running my older recorded samples and recent sessions through the Apollo left me in tears, and then I started adding some plugins and my face melted. It is hard to type this. Please fix my face, UAD.M. Flores
Absolutely Amazing Unit
I'm coming from the Apollo Twin Duo USB/Windows side. Recently switch over to Apple and i had needed a new interface. The power of this thing is absolutely incredible when running plugins. I got the Quad chip this time around and I could not be more pleased. My work flow is much more efficient now that i have more DSP (less freezing/committing/printing tracks). Thanks UA!
T. Reaves
Awesome, powerful, and flexible!!
Love what UAD has done with the Apollo series of gear. I use this in conjunction with my x8 in my home studio both connected to my iMac. When I'm on the go, I use this with my MacBook Pro and presto; instant mobile setup! Well done, and well thought out Universal Audio!! Killer deal w/ plugins by the way...

Great interface
It's even better than the MK1, converters and functionality is better. Love it. Can't go wrong with that !

Instant-Buy with the Plug-ins
With all the awesome vocal plug-ins, this was an insta-buy for me. I had my previous interface for years and didn't really see a need to upgrade, but the unison pre-amps and other UA products just makes tracking & recording that much more exciting.
A. Micheli
Couldn't be more satisfied
I just purchased the unit and all I can say after two weeks of tweaking and recordings with my Apollo Twin is that I couldn't be more satisfied!
Top Quality preamps and incredible results out of unison pluginsF. Rossi
Una scelta onerosa...ma necessaria!
Ho passato un anno nel dubbio se comprarla o meno...
Dopo 2 settimane di utilizzo posso dire solo una cosa, quanto tempo buttato!
Consigliata vivamente sia se siete dei producer itineranti che fissi in uno studio, questa scheda non può non far parte della vostra lineup!
K. Robinson
BETTER THAN SLICED BREAD
The apollo has enhanced the quality of my sound in the studio; it would be the equivalent of upgrading from 1080p resolution to the latest 5k in video quality.
R. Taylor
Best studio purchase in years
Title says it all. I've used tons of high end and consumer level gear over the years but this interface and the sound I get out of it is unbelievable. Yes, you get sucked into an expensive ecosystem of plugins but it's better than spending your midlife crisis money on golf clubs, motorcycle parts or hookers. Go buy one today and if you don't agree, I'll pay the bill for you.
R. Santiago
Amazing versatility
This Apollo helped a lot with my workflow. Excellent conversion, excellent preamps, and the unison adds amazing flexibility when tracking. This has been a game changer for me.

This is my favorite peace of gear so far.
I just fell in love instantly. I am bedroom producer and I have decent monitors, Focal Alphas and I thought they were meh when I bought em. The thing is they are great, but my previous interface just was unable to fully show the potential. With Apollo twin it’s like whole new world of sound, the DAC is great. I also love Unison, it feels like I am working with hardware so I commit now when record my synth. So Apollo changed my workflow in a good way, gave me great sonic clarity and the plugins just feel like a bonus, although they are one of the best, Apollo gives you much more. I love UA. Thank you for your work.

My Apollo twin
Is an excellent piece of hardware.love It..in future i Will buy an Apollo 16.
S. Marshall
I was hesitant....I shouldn’t have been.
At first, I wasn’t sure how this was going to integrate with my current set up. It turns out that this small piece of engineering works like a “magic box” for me. It is said to have “near zero latency”...honestly, it legitimately sounds like zero latency as I use this mainly for vocals. I love that I don’t have to put any pressure on Pro Tools’ latency options which could cause possible errors when trying to get the lowest latency possible. The Apollo Twin MK2 has got it all covered. Although this interface might seem a little on the higher end in regards to price, understand that you are getting a lot of bang for your buck. It comes with a lot of plugins, and so far they seem to be top notch. You’ll even find that some of the presets for the plugins are just great. Don’t hesitate like I did. Just get it!
