Description
This has been a dream setup for vocals, guitar & bass recording. The U5 is an amazing sounding DI/pre for Bass Guitar, as well as Acoustic Guitar (and more). The M5 is an incredible vocal mix preamp, and together this set is fantastic for live performance or studio recording. In my case, this was primarily used in my home studio & hasn't been out for tours or gigs. This setup is a dream package for a singer songwriter to perform with, or a producer to record with. All of the above & more, really... Here are the descriptions for each respective preamp included here: Avalon U5 Vibrant, Powerful Sound! With the U5 high-voltage DI Preamplifier you can conjure the sweet, vivid sounds your recordings deserve. A unique combination of passive tone selector and variable gain preamp and filter, the U5 accepts a wide variety of signal levels and instruments, everything from acoustic guitars to active bass guitars and keyboards. You'll be astounded at the magic you'll be able to work with the U5 in your studio. Tons of sonic character! Features: * 100% discrete, pure Class A mode * Variable gain preamp to +30dB * High input impedance 3 meg. * Very low noise -100dB * Dual mic and line level outputs * Six tone bank selections * High headroom +30dB output * HF cut switch eliminates noise * High level 400 w speaker input Avalon M5 Treat yourself to brilliant preamp perfection from Avalon! Easily one of the world's finest-sounding and respected preamps, the M5 belongs in the studio of every audio professional. The M5 is a low-noise mic preamp with DI instrument input. It's also a sterling example of Avalon's first-class design specifications-100% discrete, high-bias, pure Class A studio amp; minimal signal path designs; huge headroom; fantastic dynamic transient capability.
