The Avalon AD-2022 Stereo (2 channel) Microphone Preamplifier is a world-class solid-state microphone preamplifier that provides clean, in-your-face detail, and immaculate colorless precision along with some nice features such as impedance switching which will allow for alternate colors to be achieved. It is a serious mic preamp for the most discriminating engineers and home recordists on the planet, and assures that the sonic integrity of the original musical performance and any warmth and coloration from the microphones are preserved, and brought to the foreground of the mix.
