The Avalon Design V55 is a dual-mono, Pure Class A microphone and instrument preamplifier built to deliver exceptional sonic quality across a wide range of studio applications. Designed for professional engineers seeking a transparent yet musical signal path, the Avalon Design V55 combines ultra-high impedance DI inputs with balanced transformer mic and line inputs.
Its tone is characterised by deep, controlled low end, smooth and articulate mids, and an extended, clear high-frequency response. The Avalon DesignV55 also incorporates Avalon’s signature TONE-BANK™, a 10-position passive EQ circuit for versatile tonal shaping, and offers transformer-isolated outputs for re-amping applications.
The Avalon Design V55 delivers up to +66dB of gain with ultra-low noise and high headroom performance, making it suitable for everything from delicate vocals and acoustic instruments to aggressive re-amped guitars. Built in the USA and constructed with premium components, the Avalon Design V55 is a rugged, high-performance tool that embodies Avalon’s commitment to sonic purity and engineering excellence.
