From the seller
Selling an extremely rare rack of :
(11) - 1970’s Universal Audio / UREI 1109 Discrete Preamps In a 2RU UREI rack. These are classic vintage tone monsters! (EVH had multiple racks of these) These should be cherished, preserved & most of all used! I have to many projects going so I’m letting these birdies fly away. A perfect project for anyone semi tech savvy or with a tech who has time.
These preamp modules can run on either +24V or +/-15V. Add some pots on a panel, switches, and the preamps can be wired direct off the preexisting edge connector/rack. You could use (2) modules as line outputs and make a badass 8x2 mixer with (1) spare module. You can see someone simply cut off the XLR’s that were wired to the patch bay and pulled it from the studio.
Input Transformer: Shares the exact same input transformer design as the classic UREI LA-3A leveling amplifier. [1]
Output Transformer: Uses the B11148 output transformer (also common to LA-3A and later 1176LN revisions like F and G)
They just don’t make stuff like these anymore. Very rare to find a full rack of these vintage UA modules. Feel free to reach out with any questions. The last photo is of a custom UA console that was built by Bill Putnam as a sidecar that I owned. It had a rack of these 1109 modules in it!
