New at MKII:
The new Split Gain Control feature features a sealed, gold-contact
Grayhill dual-concentric rotary switch. The dual-concentric switch offers users a
wider range of gain levels that can be split between the two Twin Class-A amplifiers. This feature enables alternating gain and gentle saturation characteristics for a wider range of preamp and instrument tones.
Avalon DI preamps have been in use around the world since 1985. They have found their way into the rigs and recording sessions of the world’s leading musicians and can be heard on thousands of the best selling (and sounding) albums, downloads and live performances. The V5 incorporates the best of the Avalon U5 DI features with a studio-quality preamp and a new sonic addition.” Two alternative solid-state topologies are cascaded to create a rich overtone content in the lower midrange not found in other Avalon preamps. This feature gives the V5 a new scale of sonic character.

SONIC EXCELLENCE
The Avalon V5 DI-RE-MIC preamplifier is a professional preamplifier, DI and RE amp. Designed for maximum versatility, the V5 combines its sonic signature – “deep and controlled bass, musical mids and enhanced vocal projection” – with a unique set of user features including 100% discrete pure Class A amplification, Avalon’s unique “passive” TONE-BANK™, professional VU meter with dual peak LEDs, multiple outputs including a transformer isolated instrument level re-amp. Designed to optimize absolute signal integrity and musical performance, the V5 is ideal for ribbon, dynamic and condenser microphones, bass guitars, acoustic instruments, electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and passive pickups with very low output levels.
The state-of-the-art DI input stage offers very high impedance, a “zero load” effect for sensitive pickups and keyboards, while maintaining a huge input headroom of up to +36 dB before overload.
