At the AES Convention in Amsterdam, Universal Audio has announced the 710 Twin-Finity Single Channel, Tube & Solid-State, Tone-Blending Preamp. This radically new UA preamp design with dual signal paths is centered around the innovative phase-aligned “Tone-Blending� knob which is continually variable from 100% Tube to 100% Solid-State offering easy access to a myriad of unique pre-amp tones. The UA 710 Twin-Finity is designed and built in the USA and will include a single or dual-unit 19� pro rack mount kit.
