Get the Larger-than-Life Sound of Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B

The dominant player in chart-topping productions, Avalon's flagship VT-737 channel strip is the best-selling standalone channel strip ever made. From Jay-Z and Dr. Dre, to Babyface and Beyonce, the VT-737 delivers consistently polished results, with radio-ready gloss and detail.

Capture the Sound of Modern Music

By artfully capturing our "golden unit" Avalon's flagship VT-737 hardware's class-A tube amplifier section, LED-style optical compression, and discrete four-band EQ, you can give your tracks the signature Avalon sound heard on thousands of chart-topping hits.

Record Vocals and Bass “Through” a Hit-Making Tube Preamp with Apollo

UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Avalon VT-737 Channel Strip plug-in using your Apollo, giving you the chart-topping sound of the original hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and exact circuit behaviors. 

Experience Versatile Compression on Vocals and More

Excelling on vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, and voice-over work, the VT-737 plug-in's dynamics section gives your tracks the hardware's gentle touch. This transparent compression is perfect for "stacking" the compressor again at mixdown, so you can control a vocal in a dense mix. 

Fine-Tune Your Mixes with Bold EQ

Place your vocals front-and-center with the Avalon's four-band EQ. Plus, you can place the EQ before or after the compressor, and the mid bands can be engaged as sidechain filters for laser-focused compression. And with the 32k high frequency "air band," you can add delicate shimmer to everything from strings to background vocals and acoustic guitars.
