Universal Audio introduces their 8110 Precision 8-channel microphone preamplifier. The 8110 features a brand-new Class A, all discrete design with dual-stage level controls and unique 3-way "Shape" switching on every channel for a wide and versatile tone palette.

UA is well known for classics and vintage recreations, but the 8110 is a brand new design, developed and road-tested in the studio just like the historical UA solid-state 1108 and 1109 units. The precision "110" series was designed to stand alone with its unique sonic character and tonal flexibility to go from ultra-clean and transparent, to warm and "crunchy" via special front-panel switchable transformer loading or "Shape" control.

Universal Audio 8110 "Shape" switching modes are:
Modern: Ultra-clean, transparent, maximum headroom
Vintage: Transformer-loaded with harmonic enhancement
Saturate: Transformer-loaded with soft limiting and transient smoothing
