Millennia HV-3C – 2-Channel Microphone Preamp
OVERVIEW
The Millennia HV-3C sets the benchmark for transparent microphone preamplification. Designed to reveal the purest character of every performance, it offers unparalleled ambience retrieval, vivid realism, and timbral accuracy across the full dynamic spectrum. Whether in classical recording, acoustic sessions, or critical studio applications, it ensures your sound remains true, uncolored, and unrestricted.
Built with a transformerless discrete transistor design, the HV-3C provides up to 60 dB of gain (70 dB on request) without the need for attenuator pads, ensuring effortless headroom and clarity. With THD as low as 0.0005%, stereo-matched stepped gain controls, and rugged construction featuring gold connectors and Mogami Neglex wiring, the HV-3C combines world-class audio performance with rock-solid reliability. This is the tool trusted by top engineers worldwide when transparency matters most.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Authentic Transparency:
With its transformerless design and precision-matched transistors, the HV-3C delivers uncolored accuracy across all dynamic levels, ensuring every performance is captured as it truly is.
Effortless Headroom:
Featuring 23 dB input headroom and a laser-trimmed output stage with 32 dB headroom, the HV-3C handles extreme dynamics with ease, driving cable runs up to 1000 feet without signal degradation.
Pristine Build Quality:
Engineered with gold audio connectors, Mogami Neglex OFC wiring, and an ultra-clean toroid power supply, every component is chosen to maintain signal integrity and minimize distortion.
Precision Control:
Its 36-step stereo-matched gain controls (accurate to 0.08 dB) provide precise and repeatable settings, making it ideal for professional recording environments.
Options for Flexibility:
Available with DPA (B&K) +130 V mic inputs and DC inputs, the HV-3C is adaptable for both ribbon and specialty microphones requiring unique powering.
