Product Description

The Avalon U5 is a high-voltage, Pure Class A instrument DI and preamplifier renowned for its exceptional audio quality and versatility. Designed to accommodate a wide range of instruments—from acoustic guitars and high-output active bass guitars to keyboards—the U5 features a high input impedance that ensures compatibility with various signal levels. Its unique passive tone selector, combined with a variable gain preamp and filter, allows users to enhance their instrument’s sound with six tone-EQ curves, catering to diverse musical styles. Additional features include a high-cut switch to eliminate unwanted high-frequency noise, a headphone monitor output for personal listening, and dual microphone and line outputs for flexible connectivity. The U5’s robust construction and user-friendly design have made it a staple in professional recording studios and live performances since its introduction in 1995.

 

This is presented in great condition with the rack ears included.
