The Avalon V5 DI-RE-Mic Preamplifier is an high performance studio preamplifier, DI and RE-amper.
The V5 includes a high-quality input transformer (shared with the Avalon VT-737sp) with dual microphone input impedance loading for mic/cable matching, high-cut switch for eliminating acoustic pickup and high-frequency noise, headphone monitor amp and DC coupled, class-A output amplifiers.
A buffered ‘thru’ output is also provided for zero-instrument-load tuners or power amplifier inputs.
The unit features a passive Tone-Bank, vu meter with transformer isolated Re-amp to optimise the signal integrity, and will accommodate ribbon, dynamic and condenser microphones, as well as bass guitar, acoustic instruments, electric guitars, keyboards, synthesisers and very low output passive pickups.
The DI input stage, provides a very-high impedance ‘zero-load’ effect on sensitive pickups and keyboards, while maintaing massive input headroom to +36dB before overload.
The V5 includes DI functions from the Avalon U5, with a studio quality preamplifier and a pair of solid-state topologies cascaded to provide low/mid harmonic content not offered in other Avalon preamplifiers.
It uses internal toroidal power transformer with discrete high-voltage power supplies for low noise and sealed silver relays for transparent signal routing.
