i was talking to a dude about these speakers the urei 813c's.

  (<--- that's actually just an 813, the c's have JBL drivers, but close enough to get the point)

Noobie here. yes, you have endured one novice question before and I ask for your patience again. . Have any of you ever used the gain in a vintage compressor like the LA4 to preamp a mic signal? I did this the other night as my Ward Beck's aren't powered yet and I had to test a new reverb so I ran my tube mic into the Urei and then to the reverb then to an XLR into Pro Tools.

Im looking into an optical comp for vocals,Im seriuosly looking into a Urei La-4 or LA-3.
Ill be running a Sebatron 2000e through it
Any Urei users out there?

hey guys... i recently managed to pick up a UREI 7510b 'auto mic mixer' nice and cheap (i'm talking cheaper than the price of the smallest Behringer mixer!) with twelve preamps and direct outs. i think it was designed for conferences and chuches as a mixer but has anyone used one of these for tracking anything... if so ... what?

So i have two 27 band (odd?) urei 539s. They have terminal blocks on the back, however there are also 1/4" jacks. The manual i found doesn't indicate they have them so i'm thinking it was a custom job. So i hooked them up with unbalances TS cables and they wouldn't process, they just passed the audio through. Could it be that i must use TRS?

There's bound to be electronically educated people here on this forum?
I have a specific question concerning the urei 1178 (early 80ies version)..

I just got a pair of Urei LA 4 in my home studio when I patch it to my Mackie board... the sound that coming out is very bright and clean (lack of bottom also) I'm not sure that this kind of sound is the character of the LA 4 or not. Coz' when I listen to my old Urei 1178 I can tell unit have character not like LA 4. Do I miss anything like... little modification at the out put strip or.

Hey all,

just wondering if anyone uses a urei 7110 comp, or if anyone can tell me what they are like?

obviously the 1176 is killer but havent heard much about the 7110.

any stories would be great!

Thanks,

Sammyg

I try to find more information about this compressor. Any body can help me out ? It's seem that every direction was pointed to 1176
I would like to find the history info of this unit. It's seem the good unit to me.(After I'd listen to it for a while)
Thanks
