Get the ultimate tone for bass or other DI applications with this high-power preamp from Avalon. The U5 high-voltage DI-preamp combines a unique passive tone selector with a variable gain preamp and filter. The high input impedance accepts a wide variety of signal levels and instruments from acoustic guitars to high-output active bass guitars and keyboards. The U5 direct box is loaded with sonic character and user features professionals demand.
The U5 includes a variable gain Class A preamplifier to boost low level pickup signals and a high level speaker input for capturing the live sound of the instruments amplifier. Six passive tone-EQ curves are also included to enhance a variety of acoustic and electric instruments. A high-cut switch eliminates unwanted acoustic pickup and high frequency noise, while a headphone monitor amp has been included for personal listening. Twin DC coupled Class A output amplifiers drive both low level microphone preamp inputs and high level +4dB inputs for direct to tape recording or processing. The active-to-thru switch selects either the instrument input directly or sends the boosted-equalized signal to the amplifier via the front panel jack. A ground isolation switch eliminates any possible earth loop or AC buzz problems with complete safety.

This versatile U87AI condenser features a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns-omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8-that you can select with the flip of a switch. It offers a smooth frequency response with whatever pattern you use, while its 10 dB attenuation switch helps it easily handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distorting. An additional switch lets you reduce low frequency interference and use the mic up close without fear of bottom end boom.
Ideal for all sorts of general-purpose applications in studios, broadcast, film and television, it also works great for orchestral recording.
