The re-engineering in the creation of the Avedis Audio MA5 microphone preamplifier stemmed from years of experience restoring both American and British modules, deeply rooted in classic transformer-balanced, discrete electronics. Only the best and most suitable components are used throughout, regardless of cost, to attain the best sound.
The Avedis Audio MA5’s full and open sound with harmonic richness, particularly in the very low frequencies- even down to, and below, 10Hz. The clear mids and smooth highs come through without sounding dull or smeared.
Today, after 12 years of production, we are happy to say there are many Avedis Audio MA5’s used all over the world, from home studios to large commercial studios, and by other pro-audio professionals everywhere.
