Avalon DI preamplifiers have been in use worldwide since 1985. They’ve 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 best-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 produce rich low-midrange harmonic content not found in other Avalon preamplifiers. This function gives the V5 a new scale of sound characters.

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 midrange 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 optimise 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 very low output passive pickups.

The state-of-the-art DI input stage offers very high impedance, “zero-load” effect on sensitive pickups and keyboards, while maintaining a huge input headroom of up to +36 dB from overload.

Technical specifications:
