Avalon Design V5 Pure Class A Microphone Preamplifier -Silver

The Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier takes an unusually fresh approach to signal routing, giving you a phenomenal mic pre, instrument DI, and re-amping matrix – all in one compact desktop module.

Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier  easy to get lost in the beauty of the V5’s technical details, from its sealed silver relays to its ultra-high-performance rotary switches, but you won’t be thinking about any of that when you hear how good Avalon box sounds.

And when it comes to dialing in the perfect tone, you just can’t beat the V5’s incredible passive Tone Shaper network. All things considered, the Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier adds a ton of versatility to your studio.

When we say you can plug anything into the Avalon V5 and get excellent results, we’re hardly exaggerating.

That’s because Avalon built the Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier to accommodate a massive range of signal types.

On the input side, you’ve got two microphone impedances to choose from, including lo-Z for high-output condensers and a hi-Z setting that lets you get the most out of sluggish ribbon mics.

There’s also a 10-MOhm direct instrument input with zero impedance loading that’s perfect for active and passive pickups alike.

And thanks to the combination of an ultra clean line-level input and a transformer-isolated hi-Z output, you can even use the V5 as a complete re-amping solution, making it an invaluable studio super-tool.

Controlled by a single rotary switch, the V5’s Tone Shaper circuit provides you with a fast, effective, and above all musical way to sculpt your sound to perfection.

Included among the Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier Tone Shaper options are six presets taken straight from the award-winning Avalon U5.

Among these presets, you’ll find two of Avalon’s most popular Air-Lift passive vocal processing filters, which adds extra life to your voice.

And to top it all off, Avalon Design V5 Pure Microphone Preamplifier built both a passive lowpass filter and a hiss/buzz filter into the V5, allowing you to get the clearest possible audio in the first place.
