UAD Avalon VT-737 Tube Channel Strip – Digital Delivery

Avalon VT-737: The Chart-Topping Standard

• Best-selling standalone strip: An exacting emulation of Avalon’s flagship hardware, recognized as the best-selling standalone channel strip ever made.

• The sound of modern hits: Delivers the legendary, consistently polished results heard on thousands of chart-topping productions from Jay-Z and Beyonce to Dr. Dre and Babyface.

• Golden unit accuracy: Artfully captures a hand-selected “golden unit” hardware model, reproducing its signature high-fidelity gloss, sophisticated detail, and radio-ready finish.

• Full analog topology: Packs the original hardware’s premium Class-A tube amplifier section, smooth optical compression, and discrete four-band EQ into a single strip.

212 L Preamp with Unison Technology

• Hardware-software synergy: Pairs seamlessly with Apollo audio interfaces to utilize Universal Audio’s revolutionary Unison mic preamp technology.

• Authentic circuit behaviors: Matches the exact line/mic input impedance, gain-stage “sweet spots,” and hardware circuit behaviors of the analog unit.

• Real-time tracking: Track vocals, bass, and acoustic guitars directly “through” the tube preamp emulation in real time with near-zero latency.

Versatile Optical Compression

• Transparent dynamics: Recreates the hardware’s gentle, LED-style optical compression block to tame transients without adding digital squash or crunch.

• Ideal for acoustic sources: Excels beautifully at treating lead vocals, acoustic bass, delicate acoustic guitars, and commercial voice-over work.

• Serial compression friendly: The clean, transparent nature of the compressor makes it perfect for “stacking” multiple times across a dense mix down path without introducing unwanted artifacts.

Bold Four-Band EQ & Shimmering Air Band

• Front-and-center presence: Gives your vocals a lively, sophisticated presence that places them front-and-center in any modern musical arrangement.

• Flexible signal routing: Just like the hardware console, the EQ block can be placed before or after the compressor stage to suit your mixing style.

• Sidechain filtering capability: The EQ’s mid bands can be engaged as internal sidechain filters for laser-focused, frequency-dependent compression.

• Legendary 32kHz air band: Includes the coveted high-frequency air band to add delicate shimmer and expansive depth to background vocals, strings, and acoustic instruments.

Core Production Features

• Boutique vocal chain: Combines a vocal-flattering optical compressor and a highly smooth tone-shaping equalizer in an intuitive layout.

• Universal DAW compatibility: Runs natively across major audio workstations, bringing premium hardware finish to your tracks.

• Elite artist presets: Includes highly curated starting points from Grammy-winning mix engineers like Eric J Dubowsky, Hector Delgado, and Michael Brauer.
