This listing is for a used Avalon AD2022 2 channel microphone preampI purchased this 2 channel mic pre for my smoke-free home studio in order to record voiceover work. I used to work in radio as a commercial production director and needed a way to work at home when needed. Over the years I got most of my work done while at the station so this preamp has actually seen very little use. Everything on this unit works as it should and cosmetically it is very clean. The only noticeable marks are on the corners of the face plate where the rack screws go. All lights work and all functions/knobs/buttons work as they should. (see pics for shots of it powered up) After I purchased this unit, I ordered extra light bulbs from Avalon for the VU’s since they are prone to burning out and they will be included.Both mic channels are pristine and are great for voiceover work. I have also recorded acoustic guitar on this unit, both with a stereo pair of mics, and through the instrument inputs. Has always sounded great on everything I have ever recorded with it.The unit comes with the B2t 200 watt external power supply and all associated cords.This unit will be shipped in the factory box with the factory foam. I have also taken extra care to provide additional packing for shipment so that it will get to you safely. (see pics)SHIPPING TO THE LOWER 48 USA ONLY.Here are the specs from Avalon’s website:The AD2022 is Avalon's fourth generation of fully discrete, symmetrical Pure Class A microphone preamplifiers. The dual mono AD2022 includes the original sonic capabilities and transparency of the M2, M22 and M5 preamplifiers plus several additional features, including selectable microphone source loading for optimized cable/mic matching, improved high-voltage Class A regulated power supplies, two high Z instrument inputs, variable-passive high pass filter, quality/silver wiring and doubled plated circuit boards for superior low level signal transfer.
