The Two Page, Two Minute Guide To Getting Started
__________________________________________________________

No one likes to read owner’s manuals. We know that.
We also know that you know what you’re doing—why else would you have bought our product?
So we’re going to try to make this as easy on you as possible. Hence this two-page spread, which we
estimate will take you approximately two minutes to read. It will tell you everything you need to know
to get your Universal Audio LA-610 up and running, without bogging you down with details.
Of course, even the most expert of us has to crack a manual every once in awhile. As the saying
goes, “as a last resort, read the instructions.” You’ll find those details you’re craving—a full
description of all front and rear panel controls, interconnection diagrams, insider’s secrets, history,
theory, maintenance information, specifications, even a glossary of terms—in the pages that follow.
Getting Started With Your LA-610:
Step 1:
Decide where the LA-610 is to be physically placed and place it there. The LA-610 is housed
in a standard two-rackspace 19" chassis, and so we recommend that it be securely mounted in a rack
if possible.
Step 2:
Mute your monitors and then, using a balanced cable with XLR connectors, connect the
LA-610’s rear panel line output to the appropriate input on your patch bay, mixer, or DAW.
Step 3:
Set all three switches on the left side of the front panel to their down position, ensuring that
the -15 dB pad is not engaged, that the signal is in phase, and that no phantom power is being
applied.
Step 4:
Connect the desired input source to the LA-610’s rear panel balanced XLR mic or line input,
or to the front panel unbalanced ¼" jack Hi-Z input. (

and
see page 9 for an interconnection diagram
)
Step 5:
Make sure the Power switch on the right side of the front panel is off (down) and then connect
the supplied IEC power cable to the rear panel AC power connector.
