Control

Differences

The UA 610-A and UA 610-B plug-ins (Figure 159 on page 495) have simi-

lar controls and layouts.

For some parameters, the function of these controls is identical for both plug-

ins. In the parameter descriptions below, controls and/or descriptions that

are common to both plug-ins are detailed at the top of each control name sec-

tion.

Any differences and/or controls that are unique to each specific plug-in are

detailed after the common description.

Presets The UA 610 plug-ins include presets in the internal factory bank which are ac-

cessed via the host application’s preset menu. The presets are also copied to

disk by the UAD installer so they can be used within Apollo’s Console appli-

cation. The presets can be loaded using the Settings menu in the UAD Toolbar

(see “Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins” in Chapter 7 of the UAD System Manual).

UA 610 Latency The UA 610 plug-ins use an internal upsampling technique to achieve sonic

design goals. This upsampling results in a slightly larger latency (55 samples;

85 samples at 176.4 and 192 kHz) than non-upsampled UAD plug-ins. These

additional samples are automatically compensated by modern host DAWs.

See “Delay Compensation” in the UAD System Manual for more information.

Unison™

Integration

The UA 610 plug-ins feature Unison mic preamp technology integra-

tion with the mic preamp hardware in Universal Audio’s Apollo au-

dio interfaces. With Unison, Apollo’s ultra-transparent mic preamps

inherit all the unique sonic and input characteristics of the 610 hardware

preamp, including the mic, line, and Hi-Z inputs.

Realistic Tandem Control

Unison facilitates seamless interactive control of 610 preamp plug-in settings

using Apollo’s digitally-controlled panel hardware and/or the plug-in inter-

face. All equivalent preamp controls (gain, pad, polarity, etc) are mirrored

and bi-directional. The preamp controls respond to adjustments with precisely

the same interplay behavior as the 610 hardware, including gain levels and

clipping points.
