UNIVERSAL AUDIO 710 Twin-Finity

Description

710 Twin-Finity: A Unique PreamplifierThis mic pre/DI offers variable tube and solid-state tonalitiesThe 710 Twin-Finity™ is a class-leading Universal Audio preamplifier that combines the classic warm, vintage sound of tube circuitry with the accurate transient response of solid-state, all in a 2U half-rack 19" chassis. The 710 was designed to provide maximum sonic versatility, adding that inspiring touch often missing from audio interface preamps. The mix between the two signal paths is variable between 100% tube and 100% solid-state, allowing for infinite tonal combinations and the ability to easily find your distinctive sound. There are many inexpensive preamplifiers available, but the 710 Twin-Finity is the only one that can offer the best of both worlds in a single product at an affordable price for any serious project studio. It includes the rackmount kit for one or two units.Now you can:Utilize the distinct sonic properties of tubes and solid-state in a single preamp/DIMix tube and solid-state circuitries for maximum flexibilityUnleash the full potential of your microphone collection with an extremely versatile preamplifierEasily record guitar, bass, or keyboards with the front-panel 1/4" Hi-Z instrument inputA highly flexible microphone preamplifierAt the core of the 4-710d's great sonic flexibility is its innovative design, featuring a transimpedance solid-state input amplifier that simultaneously feeds two different, phase-aligned gain stages – one tube and one solid-state – summed together to a single output. The mix between the tube stage (with a single-ended triode operating at 310 volts in class A) and the transimpedance solid-state stage is controlled by the potentiometer marked with the "∞" symbol. This control is continuously variable between 100% Tube and 100% Solid State settings, offering a virtually infinite range of unique sounds and the ability to easily find your personal tone.Drive for all tastesLike all UA preamplifiers, the 710 features dual-stage gain controls (gain/level) that can radically alter the amount of coloration and distortion, allowing you to increase the input gain (similar to how a guitar amplifier works). The VU meter features an exclusive "Drive" mode that lets you see the amount of saturation in the input stage.Versatility and SoundThe 710 Twin-Finity was specifically designed to add the tonal versatility and sonic inspiration often missing from common audio interface preamplifiers. The key to its tonal flexibility lies in the innovative circuit design, with a variable impedance transistor input amplifier that separately sends a phase-aligned signal to both the tube and transistor gain circuits. The two signals are then summed to a single output. The mix between the tube stage and the transistor stage is controlled by the "Blend Knob" potentiometer.710 Twin-Finity: Beloved by Bassists and GuitaristsThanks to the discrete JFET DI input circuit, it can handle any amplified instrument (electric guitars, basses, keyboards, etc.). Guitarists and bassists, in particular, will appreciate the 710 Twin-Finity's ability to bring out the best possible sound from both active and passive pickups. The 710 Twin-Finity is designed and built at Universal Audio's facilities in California and comes with a 19" rack adapter for mounting one or two units.Key FeaturesTwin-Finity Tone-Blending Mic / Line Preamp & Hi-Z Instrument DI310V Class-A Tube and Solid State Dual-Path Preamplifier with variable impedanceTube - Solid State Phase-Aligned Tone-BlendingDual-stage Gain2.2M Ohm JFET DI with Ultra Hi-Z impedanceBalanced Output Stage70dB Gain, +48V Phantom, Pad (-15dB), Phase Invert, and Low Cut Filter (75Hz)Output and Drive metering with backlit VU meterPortable, 19" rack-mountable design (kit included) for studio, desktop, or stageFront-panel Hi-Z input (automatic Mic / Line switch with Jack Detect)Rear-panel XLR Mic Input, XLR Line Input/OutputRobust metal constructionDimensions: 214 x H89 x 260 mmWeight: 2.38 kg
