V5 FEATURES
SONIC EXCELLENCE
The Avalon V5 DI-RE-MIC PREAMPLIFIER is an ultra-high
performance professional preamplifier, DI and RE-amper.
“Deep and Controlled Bass, Musical Mid-Range and enhanced
Vocal Projection” combine with a unique set of user features
unique “passive” TONE-BANK™, professional VU meter with
transformer isolated Re-amp. Designed to optimize absolute
signal integrity and musical performance, the V5 is ideal for
ribbon, dynamic and condenser microphones, bass guitar,
acoustic instruments, electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers
and very low output passive pickups.
The state-of-the-art DI input stage, provides a very-high
impedance “zero-load” effect on sensitive pickups and
keyboards, while maintaing massive input headroom to +36dB
before overload.
RICH HARMONICS
Avalon DI-preamplifiers have been in use around the world
since 1985. They have found their way into the world's leading
on thousands of the best selling (and sounding) albums,
downloads and live performances. The V5 includes the best of
the Avalon U5 DI functions with a studio quality preamplifier and
“a new sonic addition”. Two alternate solid-state topologies are
cascaded to provide a rich, low mid-range harmonic content not
offered in other Avalon preamplifiers. This feature empowers the
V5 with a new scale of sonic character.
MINIMUM SIGNAL PATH DESIGN
The V5 includes a very high quality input transformer (same as
the Avalon VT-737sp) with dual microphone input impedance
loading for perfect mic/cable matching, high-cut switch for
eliminating unwanted acoustic pickup and high frequency noise,
headphone monitor amp and DC coupled, 100% Class A output
amplifiers for defined bass control. A buffered “thru” output for
zero-instrument-load tuners or power amp inputs, internal
toroidal power transformer with discrete high-voltage power
supplies for low noise and sealed silver relays for transparent
signal routing.
