Universal Audio‘s been rolling out some killer plug-ins recently, and today announces its latest hardware product — the 4-710D Four-Channel “Twin-finity” Mic Preamp & DI with Dynamics. The new analog hardware boasts four channels of tone-blending mic pre’s plus true-bypass 1176-style compression and 24-Bit, 192kHz A/D conversion.

Other notable 4-710D features include:
– Newly designed 1176-style compression/soft-limiting circuit per mic channel
– Eight channels of high-quality 24-Bit, 192kHz A/D conversion
– Digital output via dual ADAT optical or AES/EBU DB-25
– Monolithic balanced output stage
