Mic Pre / EQs

Equally ideal for both studio recording and live sound use, the A Designs Ventura is a versatile preamplifier, equalizer and instrument input housed in a single-rack-space frame. Hand-built in the US, the new A-Designs device features three inputs – microphone, instrument and EQ/insert – which may be used together or independently. The product is also equipped with a highly musical three-band parametric EQ and high/low filters, as well as two independent transformer balanced outputs (microphone and EQ). The heart of the Ventura is its C12X discrete transistor operational amplifier designed by Carl Johnson that operates on ±30 VDC rails. The C12X is a high-gain, fast-slew, stable audio block with virtually no DC offset over the audio spectrum and is capable of driving a 50 ohm load at 50 Hz with very little current draw. It is used in the microphone preamp, instrument input amp and main output/EQ output stages of the product. The Ventura's microphone preamplifier is a single-stage, transformer-coupled and balanced I/O design benefiting from the C12X for ultra-transparent audio. This section feeds the EQ and preamp output mult simultaneously and includes phase reverse, a -20 dB pad, +48V phantom power with LED indicator and a plastic conductive gain control pot. The instrument input preamplifier is a single-stage, single-ended, high impedance input designed primarily with guitar and bass pickups in mind. Similarly utilizing a C12X discrete op amp, this section is separate from the mic pre and includes a 1/4-inch phone jack and gain pot on the front panel. Like the mic preamp, this section also feeds the EQ and preamp output mult simultaneously. The equalizer input/insert return is a direct-coupled, balanced input that is post the mic pre and the instrument input. Inserting a TRS 1/4-inch phone jack into this connection allows for direct input to the equalizer, bypassing both the mic pre and instrument input. The Ventura’s three-band parametric equalizer is a unique design featuring 33 frequencies with three bands of overlapping ranges covering from 50 Hz to 15 KHz. Both the frequency selection and the ±12 dB equalization controls are step-type switches for precise and repeatable settings. Each band has a Q switch with three fixed positions: sharp (S), wide (W) and narrow (N). The low and high bands are normally of a peak/dip type, but flipping the shelf switch to the up position on those bands changes the characteristic to shelf type. The shelving switch disables the Q feature on high and low bands only. When in the up position, the high/low filters insert the fixed 12 dB/octave high- and low-cut filters. These filters work whether the EQ is in or out. As with all A-Designs Audio products, only the best possible components are used. Resistors are 1% metal film except the EQ, which is 0.1%. Capacitors are all quality polystyrene, polypropylene, COG and bi-polar. Furthermore, input/output XLR connectors and switches are gold/silver contact with no relays.

The AD2055 combines 100% discrete, pure class A signal amplifiers with state-of- the-art passive and active filter topologies. The AD2055's unique circuitry delivers very high resolution transient detail at the operational extremes of real world equalization demands. The AD2055 auto-bias DC servo loop control eliminates the need for all interstage capacitor coupling. The AD2055 breathes life into all musical performances! SONIC EXCELLENCE The Avalon AD2055 Pure Class A music equalizer is the most powerful, low noise parametric equalizer available today. Designed to optimize absolute signal integrity and musical performance, the AD2055 combines the best of active and passive filter topologies with sonic excellence unequaled by lesser designs. The AD2055 is the perfect solution for two buss music-program equalization, special instrument EQ and FX applications and ultra high performance mastering studio's. Features include state-of-the-art, balanced 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers, practical user features and rugged hardware designed to deliver true high performance audio for many years. PASSIVE-ACTIVE FILTER DESIGN Avalon equalizers feature the unique combination of both active and passive filter EQ designs. This special combination enables the AD2055 to deliver high speed transient detail at the operational extremes of real-world equalization demands. The passive high and low bands offer alternate musical tone range to the full function active parametric mid bands. Passive equalizers have long been a favorite with music lovers around the world. Full bodied, powerful (up to +/-32dB, 64dB range !) and sweet frequency selections are the benefits of the passive high-low EQ bands. The full bandwidth twin mid bands provide variable frequency selection (X10 frequency multipliers for very wide range), variable Q (width) and amplitude control. MINIMUM SIGNAL PATH DESIGN Avalon's advanced true symmetry design offers high-voltage, large headroom, extended bandwidth and very low noise. The use of 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers give the serious music professional unlimited sonic character and a natural harmonic detail that enhances the program material and becomes one with the music itself. The Avalon AD2055 breathes life!
