Universal Audio 8110

The 8110 provides eight channels of premium Class A, all discrete amplification and is the first analog product from Universal Audio to break from our vintage roots and offer a world-class tool of "ultra-fidelity" and still provide musical and warm euphonics. Every channel of the 8110 features custom input stage transformers, dedicated Gain and Level controls, input and output metering, dual input impedance selection, and a 3-way “Shape” switch offering a variable signal-path for maximum sonic versatility.

The shape switch has three modes:

• 1. Modern – Ultra-clean, transparent, maximum headroom;
• 2. Vintage – Transformer-loaded with harmonic enhancement;
• 3. Saturate – Transformer-loaded with soft limiting.
