![]() The 737 SP combines a tube pre, optic compressor, and a 4 band EQ in a 2U space. It is one of the best looking channels strips out there. Thankfully Avalon updated the unit by putting higher grade aluminum knobs, and also increased the mic input transformer level with the SP (Special Performance) model. When the 737 came out around 1998, it had ugly purple plastic knobs which many did not care for. I figured it was time to take a look at the 737 SP, and see how it matches up against the new guys on the block. Many also have impedance and iron controls for added flexibility. However there have been several new pre’s and channel strips that have come out since then with bigger and punchier sounds. When it came out, it received rave reviews from numerous engineers, and artist, and it still used today on a lot of session work heard on the radio. The Avalon 737 is one of the first channel strip boxes that were designed, that was released in the late 1990’s.
