The Avalon M5 is a premium Class A microphone and instrument pre‑amplifier engineered for clear, musical gain and ultra‑low noise. Its discrete, direct‑coupled design delivers a remarkably quiet noise floor with exceptional headroom, preserving transients and harmonic detail from studio microphones, DI instruments and line‑level sources. Gain is selectable in precise 2 dB steps up to +64 dB, complemented by a -20 dB pad for high‑output signals, switchable polarity and a variable high‑pass filter from 30 to 185 Hz to tame rumble and proximity effect. +48 V phantom power supports condenser microphones, while the phase‑coherent signal path ensures transparent, natural results. Metering is clear and reliable via a large backlit VU with LED 0 dB and +20 dB peak indicators. Connectivity includes XLR mic input, 6.3 mm instrument input and balanced XLR line output, all housed in a robust, compact chassis for professional environments.
Ideal for critical recording, broadcast and high‑end live capture where consistent, pristine pre‑amplification is essential.
