The V5 solves this with separate paths for mic, line and instrument rather than a single compromise input. The input transformer is the same part used in the VT-737SP, giving a consistent sonic reference point across Avalon's product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImpedance Matching for Every Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone input runs in two impedance modes, HiZ and LoZ, letting you set the load correctly for ribbon mics that need a high impedance as well as condenser or dynamic mics that prefer a lower one. Instead of settling on a compromise single input, the engineer switches modes to match the specific microphone and cable. The 10M Ω DI input accepts a guitar or synth signal without loading down the pickup, and a switchable pad attenuates line, instrument and microphone signals independently, so overload at the input stops being an issue with hot sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTone Bank and Re-Amp Output Without Extra Boxes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of a single high-pass filter, the V5 offers a passive bank of ten EQ curves selected right at the input stage, without reaching for a separate equalizer. 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 makes monitoring during tracking possible without engaging the interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe output stage runs in fully discrete, DC-coupled Class A circuitry, giving controlled, well-defined low end. A large VU meter with dual peak LEDs gives a fast level reference without checking the DAW. An internal toroidal power transformer and discrete high-voltage supply keep self-noise low, and sealed silver relays in the signal path allow switching without 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\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\u003eSwitchable input pad with independent attenuation 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\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":54144157090129,"sku":"38686","price":3973.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AvalonDesignV551.jpg?v=1783508539","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/avalon-design-v55","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
