The Avalon Design V5 is a compact, high-performance, Pure Class A microphone and instrument preamplifier, designed for professional recording and re-amping applications. Despite its half-rack size, the Avalon Design V5 incorporates the same high-end circuitry found in Avalon’s larger units, delivering deep, focused bass, a musical midrange, and extended high-frequency clarity.
With ultra-high impedance for direct inputs, transformer-balanced mic and line inputs, and a transformer-isolated re-amp output, the Avalon Design V5 ensures full-bodied, accurate signal reproduction across all sources. The 10-position passive TONE-BANK™ enables a wide range of tonal variations, from smooth and warm to bright and present.
A large, illuminated VU meter with dual LED peak indicators provides clear metering, while sealed silver relays preserve signal integrity. With selectable phantom power, a variable high-pass filter, and stepped gain control in 2dB increments up to +66dB, the Avalon Design V5 is a flexible and musical addition to any studio or stage setup.
