Avalon U5 Ultra-Five Direct — Brad Wood / The Fire Theft / Jeremy Enigk / Nate Mendel / William Goldsmith

Avalon U5 Pure Class A high-voltage DI / instrument preamp. Serial 27837.

Used by producer Brad Wood to track Nate Mendel’s bass and Jeremy Enigk’s guitar on The Fire Theft record.  

100% discrete Class A design, six-position passive Tone Bank, variable gain up to +30 dB, dual mic and line XLR outputs, speaker-level input, headphone out, ground lift. High input impedance, very low noise, classic Avalon headroom.

Condition is good. Internals cleaned. Some cosmetic wear on the front panel. A few screws missing from the top vented cover — lid is secure. Powers on and functions. Includes a power cable. Happy to answer any questions.
