The Avalon Design AD2055 is the perfect solution for two buss music-program equalisation, special instrument EQ and FX applications and ultra-high performance mastering studios. Features include state-of-the-art, balanced 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers, practical user features and rugged hardware designed to deliver true high-performance audio for many years.
Passive-Active Filter Design
Avalon equalisers feature the unique combination of both active and passive filter EQ designs. This special combination enables the Avalon Design AD2055 to deliver high speed transient detail at the operational extremes of real-world equalisation demands. The passive high and low bands offer alternate musical tone range to the full function active parametric mid bands.
Passive equalisers have long been a favourite with music lovers around the world. Full bodied, powerful (up to +/-32dB, 64dB range!) and sweet frequency selections are the benefits of the passive high-low EQ bands. The full bandwidth twin mid bands provide variable frequency selection (X10 frequency multipliers for very wide range), variable Q (width) and amplitude control.
Minimum Signal Path Design
Avalon’s advanced true symmetry design offers high-voltage, large headroom, extended bandwidth and very low noise. The use of 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers give the serious music professional unlimited sonic character and a natural harmonic detail that enhances the program material and becomes one with the music itself. The Avalon Design AD2055 breathes life!
