Company Profile

Avalon Electronics was founded in 1979 specifically to develop and market a range of high performance cassette data recorders. Today, the company enjoys an unrivalled international reputation for innovative product design, reliability and quality of workmanship.

Product Range

Avalon initially pioneered the adaptation of helical scan tape recording technology to instrumentation recording and continues to lead the field in the development of S-VHS format recorders for wideband analog applications with a comprehensive range of single and multi-channel 3, 8, 12 and 18 MHz S-VHS AE3000 Series of cassette tape recorders (now discontinued).

In 1997, Avalon pioneered the application of computer hard drives to ultra high speed data recording. Its first commercial disk-based product (Model AE7000 - right) offered unrivalled analog bandwidths up to 50 or 75 MHz and digital data throughputs in excess of 1Gigabit/sec and was successfully deployed throughout the world.

In 2001, Avalon introduced its first compact disk recorder (right).  Designated Model AE8222, this 12 MHz baseband recorder was designed primarily as a straightforward replacement for legacy S-VHS cassette tape recorders.

This was joined in 2003 by the Model AE8250 series of 50 MHz recorders in the same form-factor as AE8222.  AE8250 is now available in a range of single and multi-channel configurations including the AE8250MM (1 ch. x 50 MHz baseband or IF recording) and the AE8250DC (2 ch. x 25 MHz baseband and/or IF recording).

The latest addition to the Avalon product family is the world-beating Model AE8400 SIGINT Disk Recorder which extends IF recording to a bandwidth of 80 MHz (from IFs up to 160 MHz) and baseband (video) recording to 100 MHz bandwidth.

Avalon is the only recorder company to offer a 3-year no nonsense warranty on all its products.  All products comprise fully integrated sub-systems which are designed entirely in-house by Avalon engineers to meet the specific challenges of operation without compromise under the most arduous field conditions.

Through-life performance and maintenance free operation are the hallmarks of all Avalon's designs.  The company is proud to claim that it has never discontinued support for any one of its products since the first delivery in 1979!  Further testament to the reliability and durability of Avalon recorders is demonstrated by the population of sixty units which have been in continuous front-line service with the Royal Navy since 1984.

The company is large enough to maintain the highest Quality Control standards, yet small enough to be responsive to evolving customer requirements.  A policy of continuous product improvement and innovation enables the company to maintain its unrivalled position as a leading international supplier of 'state-of-the-art' performance at affordable prices.

All products are backed by a world-wide network of authorized Avalon representatives.
