Is the Avalon M5 worth it?
I have been into the home recording thing for about 2 years now. A freind and I are building a small studio mainly for personal use and for a few very talented solo musicians who live here without much cash. I want to purchase a very clean and clear single channel pre for mainly vocals and acoustic. I do not have the luxury of trying anything out as the doctors live on the hill and the rest of us live in the valley, if you know what I mean. Anyhow, I want to know what your opinions are and of other pre's as well.
Thanks! Oh yeah, I love VU meters man! |

The U5(DI) is excellent!! So im sure the M5 is also, but have a look at the SPL Gainstation(verry nice!!)& cheaper

Re: Is the Avalon M5 worth it?
Of course it is - the SPL is upper middleclass and nothing more. although you get a decent performance for the money spent, these units simply are not high end!!!
try maybe the vt 737 sp as well. great on vocals and bass. check out www.avalondesign.com for a comparison of the two. if you want that high end sound, go get high end gear. I used an SPL goldmike before getting my vt 737 sp, it's just another league. G. |

Re: Is the Avalon M5 worth it?
Thanks for the responses! I have been reading around and it really does seem like it is the ticket for me. Plus it looks well built.....always a plus. I sure wish I could hear it first, but as I stated...no such conveneince for me
Thanks again for the input. |

Places like Mercenary, Atlas Pro and Sweetwater allow you to be satisfied with a purchase which is just as good.

Re: Is the Avalon M5 worth it?
After going for the single channel for a few purchases I recommend going for a good stereo pre like the Great River MP2NV.
If not, I'm sure you'll be happy with the M5. C
