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 V55 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 V55 a new scale of sound characters.

SONIC EXCELLENCE
The Avalon V55 DI-RE-MIC preamplifier is a professional preamplifier, DI and RE amp. Designed for maximum versatility, the V55 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 V55 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:
