It addresses a common project studio problem: one preamp has to handle a microphone, a guitar through DI and a line-level signal, each at a different input impedance, without buying a separate DI box or an extra input equalizer. The input transformer comes from the same line used in the VT-737SP, giving a consistent tonal reference across the Avalon catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImpedance Matching for Every Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone input switches between HiZ and LoZ modes, letting you load a ribbon mic that needs high impedance correctly, as well as a condenser or dynamic mic that performs better at a lower one. Instead of one compromise input, the engineer picks the mode to match the specific microphone and cable. The 10M Ω DI input takes a guitar or synth signal without loading the pickup, and an independent input pad attenuates line, instrument and mic separately, so overload from hot sources stops being a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTone Bank and Re-Amp Without Extra Gear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of a single low-cut filter, the V5 B offers a passive bank of ten EQ curves selected right at the input stage, removing the need for a separate equalizer when shaping a source quickly. A -3dB high-cut filter at 3.7kHz reduces noise from single-coil pickups and unwanted acoustic pickup. A transformer-isolated re-amp output lets you record a dry guitar signal and play it back through an amp later without a separate re-amp box, and a built-in headphone amp allows monitoring during tracking without engaging an audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe output runs fully discrete, DC-coupled Class A circuitry, giving controlled, well-defined low end. A large, illuminated VU meter with dual peak LEDs lets you track level without watching the DAW screen. A toroidal power transformer and discrete high-voltage supply keep the unit's self-noise low, and sealed silver relays in the signal path guarantee switching free of pops and artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle channel Pure Class A preamplifier, 100% discrete, black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate inputs: mic XLR HiZ\/LoZ, line XLR and TRS, instrument DI 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent input pad for line, instrument and mic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Tone Bank with 10 selectable EQ curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-cut filter -3dB at 3.7kHz for pickup noise reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer-isolated re-amp output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in headphone monitor amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolarity reverse switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC-coupled, fully discrete Class A output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge VU meter with dual peak LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToroidal power transformer and sealed silver relays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: single channel DI-RE-MIC preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine input: balanced 6,000 Ω, XLR\/TRS, gain -3dB to 36dB, max input 47dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument DI input: unbalanced 10,000,000 Ω, TRS, gain 2dB to 42dB, max input 36dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone HiZ input: balanced 6,700 Ω, XLR, gain 20dB to 60dB, max input 23dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone LoZ input: balanced 1,760 Ω, XLR, gain 26dB to 66dB, max input 19dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput pad: line -13dB, instrument -10dB, mic -15dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom power: +48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: half rack, optional RM-1 (single) and RM-2 (dual) 19 inch rack mount kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Avalon Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54144156434769,"sku":"50460","price":1964.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AvalonDesignV5B1.jpg?v=1783508320","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/avalon-design-v5-b","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
