Product Description

Millennia HV-3D8 Microphone Preamp

 

The Millennia HV-3D8 is a microphone preamplifier of superb sonic character, technical specification, and mechanical workmanship. It offers 8 double-balanced, extremely wide dynamic range stereo microphone preamplifiers intended for demanding acoustic recording. It combines precisely matched, discrete bipolar transistors with a laser trimmed, DC-coupled, FET-based output driver stage. Unlike standard mic preamplifiers, the HV-3D never unbalances or rebalances the original signal, thus maintaining the highest degree of signal integrity.

"The HV-3D has added so much more to the feeling of creativity in our studio and I just want to say thanks for making such a great unit. It's a solid piece of work, looks great and it sounds amazing - I'm in love!." -John Haggins, DigiNote Studio, Miami Beach
