After some requests from audio engineers, the Avedis Audio MA5
was created for the need of a high quality microphone preamplifier in
the characteristic sound of early 70's British consoles. The
re-engineering in the creation of the MA5 stemmed from years of
experience restoring both American and British modules, deeply rooted in
classic transformer-balanced, discrete electronics. Only the best and
most suitable components are used throughout, regardless of cost, to
attain the best sound.
Much time was spent on the MA5, not only on the engineering side of the
design, but also to extensive sound evaluations in observation of
specific settings, gain structures, and key components spanning a time
frame of a little over a year.
We have always believed that even with some of the best audio test
analyzers we own and use, our ears' sensitivity, coupled with good
judgement of sound through experience, is still unparalleled. In the
end, it is our ears we are trying to satisfy.
