Avalon Design V55 Microphone Preamplifier Overview

The silver Avalon Design V55 Pure Class A Dual/Mono Microphone Preamplifier is a two-channel ultrahigh-performance preamplifier, instrument DI, and all-input re-amp.

Each element of the Avalon Design V55 is specifically catered to the source. Each channel has separate XLR mic, XLR line, TRS line, and 1/4″ Hi-Z inputs for optimal impedance loading. The switchable input pad features variable attenuation, depending on the input that is being used.

Rather than providing just the bare minimum of a low-cut filter, Avalon has included a selectable TONE-BANK of 10 input EQ curves. Additionally, to combat high-frequency noise from instrument pickups, a separate high-cut filter of -3 dB at 3.7 kHz can be engaged.

The versatility continues all the way to the output section, featuring balanced XLR and TRS outputs and reamp/thru outputs. To take it one step further, Avalon has included a 1/4″ headphone jack allowing you to record and perfect DI guitar or bass tracks silently, and reamp them later, concentrating only on your tone.

The Avalon Design V55 starts as a boutique microphone preamplifier, but that’s really just the beginning of what it can do. It has the versatility and feature set to serve as dual-mono analog front-end for any audio source.

Versatility and Connectivity

Each channel has dedicated inputs and outputs for any kind of analog source material. Polarity switches are also included.

Source-Specific Features

The Avalon Design V55 operation adapts to optimally handle each type of input.

10-Setting TONE-BANK

Choose from 10 different input EQ curves to keep the signal you need and eliminate what you don’t.

Reamp Capability

Reamping has quickly become a standard practice in electric guitar and bass recording. The Avalon Design V55 is one of the few high-end audio preamplifiers to offer it onboard.
