The preamp section runs two cascaded dual triode vacuum tubes with minimal negative feedback, a transformer-balanced mic input with +48V phantom power, a front panel DI input, and a balanced Class A line input. A high-gain switch boosts overall preamp gain, while a passive variable high-pass filter and hard-wire relay bypass let you shape the input without coloring the tone unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Inputs, One Signal Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA session rarely stays on a single source type. The VT-737SP switches between a microphone, a DI'd guitar and a line-level feed from another device without repatching between separate preamps. Phase reverse is available on all three inputs, which removes phasing headaches when doubling a vocal or capturing an acoustic instrument with two mics at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOpto-Compression and De-Essing Without an Extra Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opto-compressor uses twin Class A tube triodes for gain matching and gives full control over threshold, ratio, attack and release, with gain reduction read off the large VU meter. An EQ-to-sidechain switch routes the mid band of the equalizer into the compressor's sidechain, effectively delivering de-essing without patching in a separate processor. The EQ section can be flipped pre or post compressor, changing how the compression reacts to the source material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-band equalizer is 100% discrete Class A. High and low bands are passive for a smooth character, while the two mid bands are sweepable in frequency and Q, with range extended by a x10 frequency multiplier. A tube-driven output stage feeds a fully discrete, balanced, DC-coupled Class A low noise output amplifier. Two VT-737SP units can be linked via a rear panel cable for matched stereo operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle channel strip: preamp, opto-compressor and EQ in one 2U chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree inputs: transformer mic with +48V, instrument DI, balanced Class A line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour vacuum tubes configured as dual triodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable high-pass filter and hard-wire relay bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase reverse on all three inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpto-compressor with threshold, ratio, attack and release controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ-to-sidechain switch for de-essing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ section switchable pre or post compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-band discrete Class A EQ with sweepable mid bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge VU meter switchable between output level and gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo units linkable for stereo operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: single channel tube channel strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 19 inch, 2U rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: transformer mic, DI, balanced line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube count: 4 (dual triodes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor: opto, tube driven, Class A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEqualizer: 4-band, discrete Class A, sweepable mid bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: balanced, discrete, Class A, DC coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: VU, switchable output\/gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: universal 100-240V, 50-60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11.8 kg (26 lb)\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":54144157745489,"sku":"50459","price":4441.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AvalonDesignVT-737B1.jpg?v=1783508527","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/avalon-design-vt-737-b","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
