General

Avalon's grey V5 DI instrument and mic preamp is a musical jack-of-all-trades. This compact, versatile device was modelled after the renowned Avalon U5, but adds a number of delectable extras. The high-gain class-A microphone preamplifier with dual impedance lends itself perfectly for use with various microphones, ranging from dynamic models to ribbon and high-level condenser mics. Additionally, the V5 is well-capable of handling instruments like guitars, keyboards and synthesizers.

V5: Reamping and Tone Control

With the Avalon V5, you'll be able to reach new creative levels. Its reamping function, which allows you to re-edit your unprocessed recordings, ensures outstanding results time and time again. As you have total control over your signal path, combining the right effects and parameters is easy - just try out different settings until you get the exact results you need. Passive tone control offers you a choice of ten presets, six of which are derived from the unparalleled Avalon U5. The V5 DI instrument and mic preamp allows for intuitive control, while an analogue VU meter provides you with a clear overview.

Radial Introduces the McBoost Preamp for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones

Wednesday 11 November 2015 By Lizanne

It's a common occurrence in the studio or during live performances - you make a recording, but the signal is low, the fader on your console is on max and you're out of headroom. The signal is simply too weak and starts to distort when you try to amplify it with a compressor or gain plugin. Radial comes to the rescue with the McBoost - a microphone preamplifier that will add up to 25 dB to the incoming signal, ideal for consoles or audio interfaces that need a little extra oomph!
