[. . . ] AVA L O N DESIGN VT-737 VA C U U M TUBE DIRECT SIGNAL PATH DIRECT SIGNAL PATH AVALON VT-737 FEATURES The Avalon VT-737 features a combination of TUBE preamplifiers, optocompressor, sweep equalizer, output level and VU metering in a 2U space. [. . . ] The EQ section can be flipped pre or post the opto-compressor via a front panel switch for alternate effects and tone shaping. Two VT-737's can be linked via a rear panel link cable for stereo tracking. The compressor bypass is a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. · · · · · · · · · · · · · Minimal signal path design Four Class A vacuum tube triodes Transformer balanced microphone input EQ to sidechain for de-ess High-voltage circuits + 200v Headroom to +30dB Low noise -92dB Internal discrete power supply Soft-start tube life extender Stereo link All discrete Class A equalizer Sealed silver relays Professional VU meter Equalizer The VT-737 equalizer utilizes 100% discrete, Class A-high-voltage transistors for optimum sonic performance. The high and low frequency bands provide the smooth characteristics of an all passive design, while the dual mid bands include variable frequency and switched Q-width selection. The enhanced range of the mid bands is extended into the high and low bands by the use of X10 frequency multipliers. The bypass switch incorporates a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. When the EQ to sidechain is engaged, the high-low EQ remains in the audio path for tone enhancement. The output level control provides a variable control of the overall signal path.
