Avedis Audio MA5, 500-size transistor mic preamp with red knob finish.

ARTICLE N° 79724
The MA5 is a "coup de coeur" mic preamp, an exceptional product in this price range. Californian manufacturer Avedis Audio Electronics offers an ultra-high quality preamp with controlled, deep bass and no aggressive treble, even when the 28K function is activated, to give your recordings a breath of fresh air.

Finally, the only thing it lacks is a DI function. Once you've tried it, you'll forget all about your classic Neve and API, and you won't be able to live without it!

After a few requests from recording engineers, the Avedis Audio MA5 microphone preamplifier was created for the need of a high quality microphone preamplifier in the characteristic British console sound of the early 70s. The re-engineering in the creation of the MA5 is the result of years of experience in restoring American and British modules, deeply rooted in classic transformer-balanced discrete electronics. Only the best and most appropriate components are used, whatever their cost, to achieve the best sound.

A great deal of time was spent on the MA5, not only on the engineering side of the design, but also on in-depth sonic evaluations in observing specific parameters, gain structures and key components over a period of just over a year.
