Vintage channel strip
The UNIVERSAL AUDIO 6176 is a TEC Award-winning vintage channel strip that combines a channel of the classic 610 amplifier with an updated version of the 1176LN to create the ultimate channel strip. The UNIVERSAL AUDIO 6176 features Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs, a two-band shelving EQ, and a -15dB Pad.
The 1176 section in the UNIVERSAL AUDIO 6176 retains all the characteristics of the legendary 1176LN.
Each unit has dedicated inputs and outputs that can be used independently in "Split" mode or in "Join" mode via a simple switch.
