LA-6176: Watch & Learn
Bill Putnam Jr. discusses UA’s long legacy of innovating legendary hardware like the 1176, LA-2A, and 610 preamp — and what inspired him to combine them into modern tools that help musicians around the world make records.
Plug in to a World-Famous Tube Preamp
Bill Putnam’s 610 Modular Amplifier preamp was a milestone in audio history, introduced in the 1960’s and used to record everyone from the Beach Boys, Ray Charles, and Johnny Cash to Coldplay and Adele. The LA-6176 plug-in features the modern 610-B circuit, giving you even deeper EQ controls for adding rich tube sound that works on everything.
Get Legendary 1176 Punch
The 6176 hardware is the first channel strip to pair our iconic 610 tube preamp with classic 1176 Limiting Amplifier. The 1176 is the compressor that defined decades of popular rock and pop music, from Led Zeppelin to Bob Marley to Beyonce. Its FET-based circuit delivers ultra fast response to guitar, bass, and drum transients making your tracks pop through the speakers.
Add Smooth LA-2A Tube Compression
Borrowing from our LA-610 MkII hardware channel strip, the LA-6176 plug-in packs iconic optical compression at the flip of a switch. In LA-2A mode, you’ll get the same silky compression heard on classic vocal and instrument recordings for over 60 years. Plus, you can easily toggle between the LA-2A and 1176 modes to find your perfect sound.
Unison-Enabled for Realtime Recording on Apollo Interfaces
With an Apollo interface and Unison technology, the LA-6176 Signature Channel Strip makes you forget you’re recording through a plug-in. You'll get all the unique impedance, gain stage sweet spots, and circuit behaviors of an original 610 tube preamp. And when you add in two legendary compressors — it puts three of our most famous analog circuits on a single Unison channel.
Get Heavenly Analog Sound
Learn the settings on LA-6176 Signature Channel Strip that unlock dreamy analog sounds for vocals, drums, and bass.
“The LA-6176 plug-in adds excitement and color to anything you put through it. You can do so much with this one plugin alone!”
– Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motorhead, Nova Twins)
“The LA-6176 plug-in has quickly become my go-to channel strip for setting the foundation of a mix.”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Rick Ross, Estelle)
“The LA-6176, in parallel, INTO the vocal chain... gamechanger. I don't do vocals without it.”
– F. Reid Shippen (Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Keith Urban)User-Rezensionen

Effective, easy and fast
A powerful combination of classic sounds. Quick and easy set up. Also a good choice if you need to save dsp for other inputs.

As with all UAD plug-ins, this one is also excellent! Very easy and simple to operate and just adding the plug-in as an insert without touching any dials makes an improvement to the sound....

Decent plugin - easy to use, powerful result
The plugin perfectly fits my home studio providing easy to use interface and excellent sound quality. It takes effort before realizing the bottom logic of the compressors since the UI doesn’t tell much. However, once tuned to the sweet spot, the plugin contributes vastly.

Great Plugin
Usually the presets on most plugins I use do not work well for me. I have to do a lot of tweaking to have good results but the LA-6176 presets are very good. I used one of the bass guitar settings and it really cleaned up the signal and made it more present in the mix. It also works well on other instruments. Highly recommended.

2 for 1 Workhorse
When tracking vocals, my chain usually consists of my Townsend Sphere going into my modeling of choice, a preamp (usually the Manley or 1073), into a 1176, and finishing with the 2A. I’ve been eyeing the LA-6176 hardware model for a while but wasn’t able to afford one anytime soon, and this randomly popped up on a session day for the Apollo variant. Now my chain has a 2 for 1 where I now have another slot to use for an EQ. Vocals are coming in pretty solid right now and the vocalist I tracked while trying this out was in love with how he sounded. Definitely would recommend this if you already incorporate a 76 or 2A in your chain.

Useful
Curiously, this hybrid product is quite useful when I need to get a nice result quickly. Nothing here to solve big problems or to be really creative, but it is an efficient sweetener for things already acceptable.

Great
It's present in my productions. Evereyday!

A perfect buy for me
I am relatively new to UA plug ins & a happy spark subscriber. When I fully realized the 6176 is actually 3 different devices combined into one & I had a $25 coupon. The CPU hit is beyond reasonable & I am able to use my 6176 as my main channel strip on pretty much all my analogue instruments & vocals in my mixes and it sounds amazing to my ears every time!!! I am very pleased with my purchase!

Hermos pre se siente lo analogo
De verdad tiene todos los maticez que un propio hardaware, con la facilidad que nos trae el software, de verdad se recomienda para todo.
Sobre todo para voz, acusticos etc.J. Liberg
UA6176 vs. LA-6176
I have owned the UA6176 for many years and this is the best preamp/limiter of all so I was quite surprised how well the new LA-6176 performed and how easy it suddenly is with settings and all. With that said, there is no doubt that the "real thing" is sounding better. The warmth and subtle distortion when gaining and tweaking it and how it performs in "British Mode" is the reasons I will keep it in the studio. However, if you need the second best thing and on the road so to speak, the LA-6176 is outstanding among all plugins I have tested so far so big up for the team at UA for making this great product. By the way........it should be mandatory to use both these units in "British Mode", it will blow you away! :)

You have got to be KIDDING ME!!!
This is the smoothest mic pre I have heard in a long time. Simply adding it to the channel performs magic! It has the 610 B warmth, and the 1176 limiter add brightness, while the LA2A Opto seriously controls powerful vocalist on a bright condenser mic! Bravo! This is my new favorite toy!

Doesn´t appear in my plugin list...
I bought it and have installed the actual Software Update. I find it in my plugins online at your UAD-Homepage. I also find it in my "UAD Meter & Control Panel Software. But I don´t find it in my plugin list of Nuendo an Samplitude, but i find there all other plugins. Help is just by a bot, now, that doesn´t help. Sad.

LA-6176
I had the universal audio LA-610 about 20 years ago, and sounds and feels very familiar, like a good old friend that you meet again after a long time. It is another great tool for sonic sculpting in the digital virtual realm.
