Millennia HV-3C Ultra-wide Dynamic Range Stereo Mic Preamp The Millennia HV-3C is an updated design of the HV-3B two channel mic preamp, with improved mechanical design and cosmetics, and standard 36 step gain control. Combining a precisely matched octet of discrete bipolar transistors with a laser trimmed DC coupled FET-based output driver stage, the HV-3C is an entirely "double balanced," extremely wide dynamic range stereo microphone preamplifier intended for demanding acoustic recording. According to Gary Garritan of Garritan Orchestral Strings, "Millennia Media HV-3 is the preamp of choice. I own a number of high-end mic preamps and always reach for the HV-3 when recording orchestral samples." Millennia HV-3C At-a-Glance Super-clean Signal Path High Headroom Audiophile-quality Sound Super-clean Signal Path Unlike "textbook" mic preamplifiers, the HV-3C signal path never unbalances or rebalances the original signal - thus maintaining a high degree of signal integrity. Over 20,000 channels of HV-3 micamps are already in use by a who's-who in critical acoustic recording. Unlike preamps using vacuum tubes, IC function modules and audio transformers (all of which can lend their own audio coloration) the Millennia HV-3C is precisely optimized towards capturing the subtlest detail of music and ambience. High Headroom With +23 dBu native input headroom, the HV-3C requires no input pads, attenuators, or switch points as found on common textbook preamp designs - thus avoiding yet another source of sonic degradation. Moreover, with its +32 dBu output headroom, ultra-high dynamic stability and linearity is assured. HV-3C uses the identical preamps as found in the HV-3D 8-ch units. Audiophile-quality Sound Uncompromising circuit design with meticulous selection and hand-matching of critical components assures consistently transparent audio performance at all dynamic excursions and frequency extensions. HV-3C signal path from input through output is entirely balanced with a minimum amplifier topology. Millennia HV-3C Features: High Speed Transformerless Design 23 Db Input & 32 Db Output Headroom Frequency response: +0/-3dB sub 4Hz to beyond 300kHz No Pads (Attenuators) Required Entirely Balanced Audio Path Laser Trimmed Fet-Based Output Thd+N Less Than 5 Ppm (.0005%) Matched Discrete Transistor Octet Front-End Precision Componentry Throughout Gold Audio Connectors & Switches Standard 36-Step Gain Control (1.5 Db Per Step) Stereo Gain Matched To .08 Db • Ofc Audio Wiring, Silver Teflon Power Wiring Ultra-Clean Toroid Power Supply Welded 16 Gauge Steel Rack Chassis Unsurpassed Ambience Retrieval Effortless, Lifelike Musical Performance At All Dynamic Levels With over 20,000 channels now in use, the Millennia Media HV-3 is a world standard for classical and critical acoustic music recording. Customer Reviews  The Ultimate Clean   by Nate N. from St. Petersburg, Fl, October 17, 2006 Music Background:  Pro Musician/ Project Studio owner “I have 4 channels of this preamp and it is the cleanest, quietest most neutral pre there is. If you're recording clasical music, jazz, acoustic music, or anything that you want to hear just what the microphone is picking up, this is the pre to use. Handles transients great, and it's the closest thing to a straight-wire-with-gain you can get. no transformers, just neutral, clean sound.” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review  Tell a Friend About the HV-3C!  Print This Page See Also:  Dual Channel Preamps
