Designed for Deep & Controlled BassAvalon U5 DI-preamps have been in use around the world since 1995. They have found their way into the world's leading musicians rigs and recording sessions and been featured on thousands of the best-selling (and sounding) albums and live performances.Minimum Signal Path DesignThe U5 includes a variable gain Class A preamplifier to boost low-level pickup signals and a high level speaker input for capturing the live sound of the instruments amplifier. Six passive tone-EQ curves are also included to enhance a variety of acoustic and electric instruments. A high-cut switch eliminates unwanted acoustic pickup and high frequency noise, while a headphone monitor amp has been included for personal listening. Twin DC coupled Class A output amplifiers drive both low-level microphone preamp inputs and high-level +4dB inputs for direct-to-tape recording or processing. The active-to-thru switch selects either the instrument input directly or sends the boosted-equalized signal to the amplifier via the front panel jack. A ground isolation switch eliminates any possible earth loop or AC buzz problems with complete safety.Pure Class A, 100% discrete designSmooth musical detail and sonic excellenceVariable gain preamp to +30dBDual microphone and line outputsHi-Z 3,000,000 input impedanceVery low noise (-100dB)High headroom (+30dB)Six tone bank selectionsDC coupled Class A output for superior bassHigh cut switch eliminates noiseLED active signal indicatorHeadphone monitor output jackLow distortion less than 0.5% THD and IMDHigh level 400-watt speaker inputActive to thru selector/ground isolation switch100% discrete power supplies for audio pathInternal toroidal power supply for low noiseLong lasting, stainless steel hardware |

| Avalon VT-737sp Class A Mono Tube Channel Strip Limited Edition $ 2250.0  In honor of the 10th anniversary of the release of the renowned VT-737sp Class A Mono Tube Channel Strip, Avalon has produced a special "Blackface" model. The VT-737SP features a combination of TUBE preamplifiers, opto-compressor, sweep equalizer, output level and VU metering in a 2U space. The VT737SP Anniversary is identical in terms of circuitry, the only difference being cosmetic the front panel is matte-black and the original orange LEDs have been replaced with cool blue ones.PREAMPLIFIERThe VT-737SP has three input selections:1. The VT-737SP features a higher-performance microphone input transformer with +48v phantom selection.2. Instrument DI high source input with jack located on front panel.3. Balanced line input, discrete high-level Class A.The class A preamplifier utilizes two cascaded, dual vacuum tube triodes configured with minimum negative feedback. A high gain switch boosts the overall gain of the preamplifier. The four high-quality tubes are configured as singled-ended anode coupled followers. A passive-variable high-pass filter and hardwire relay bypass completes the input signal conditioning. The phase reverse relay is available on all three inputs.OPTO-COMPRESSONThe opto-compressor features a minimum signal path design with twin Class A vacuum tube triodes for gain matching. The optical attenuator acts as a simple passive level controller. Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard-knee limiting can be achieved with threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls plus gain reduction selection on the large VU meter. Special spectral control including de-ess is available with the dual sweep mid EQ to sidechain switch. The EQ section can be flipped pre or post the opto-compressor via a front panel switch for alternate effects and tone shaping. Two VT-737SPs can be linked via a rear panel link cable for stereo tracking. The compressor bypass is a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path.SWEEP-EQUALIZER AND OUTPUT LEVELClass A high-voltage transistors are used for optimum sonic performance. The high and low frequency bands provide the smooth characteristics of an all passive design, while the dual mid bands include variable frequency and switched Q-width selection. The enhanced range of the mid bands is extended into the high and low bands by the use of X10 frequency multipliers. The bypass switch incorporates a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. When the EQ to sidechain is engaged, the high-low EQ remains in the audio path for "tone enhancement". The output level control provides a variable control of the overall signal path. The output amplifier utilizes another dual triode vacuum tube driving a 100% discrete, Class A, high-current, balanced and DC coupled low noise output amplifier.VALON VT-737SP FEATURESVacuum tube triode signal path, transformer balanced microphone input, high-voltage circuits for maximum headroom to +30dB, low noise -92dB, internal discrete power supply with tor |
