Line card for urei 1620 & LE

Solve the long-standing volume gap between Phono and Line inputs on UREI mixers.
This custom Line Card is equipped with its own volume control, allowing you to adjust the level according to the output of your cartridge. The sound has also been tuned to provide a more analog-like character compared to the original Line circuit, reducing the tonal difference between vinyl and digital sources.

Installation Notes

To install, you will need to remove the top cover of your UREI unit, insert the card, and cut a single wire.
The exact cutting point is clearly shown in the manual with detailed images, and the procedure is simple even for beginners.
For UREI LE models, no cutting is required, as they include an internal switch for this purpose.

Additional Information

Depending on the individual characteristics of your UREI unit, you may hear a very slight bleed from other channels in the headphones when using the Line Card. This is a known behavior and varies between units.
