Audiophile Quality in a Portable Unit!
Millennia introduces the TD-1Recording Channel. TD-1 is a compact yet sophisticated analog "channel strip" for microphones, electric guitars and basses, acoustic instrument transducers, keyboards, DAWs, and all MIDI systems. TD-1 "Twin Direct" includes Millennia's acclaimed HV-3 microphone preamplifier, making TD-1 an uncompromised front-end for virtually any audio recording application. Some have called TD-1 a Mini-Origin.

Millennia TD-1 At-a-Glance:
  • Tube or Solid-state
  • Patented REAMP Outputs and Speaker Soak Technology
  • Discrete Circutiry with Parametric EQ and Wide Variety of I/O


Tube or Solid-state
Audio engineers no longer need to chose between tube front-end or solid state front-end. TD-1's instrument input employs Twin Topology - Millennia's innovative merging of vacuum tube and solid state circuit topologies. TD-1 offers a high voltage 100% vacuum tube instrument amplifier -or- transparent 100% discrete F.E.T. solid state instrument amplifier in the same indestructable military-grade chassis. Both topologies can be switch selected and musically tuned via three selectable input impedances (470K/2M/10M). Up to 65 dB of adjustable microphone and instrument gain is available via front-panel control.

Patented REAMP Outputs and Speaker Soak Technology
A simultaneous pair of patented REAMP outputs allow TD-1 to emulate both Les Paul and Strat pickups (Les Paul himself plays through a Millennia Origin). REAMP causes the guitar amplifier to think it's connected to a high impedance passive guitar pickup, instead of a very low impedance (and much too clean) active tape recorder or digital workstation output. Millennia's uncompromised DIT-01 mic-level DI output transformer (Frequency Response -3 dB @ 3 Hz & 300 kHz) is also included. Recording directly from any guitar amplifier is now possible with Millennia's innovative Speaker Soak technology. Simply connect any parallel speaker output (300W max) and start recording the authentic character of your guitar amplifier output under true dynamic speaker loading. An audiophile-grade headphone output with separate level control is also provided for pre-auditioning.

Discrete Circutiry with Parametric EQ and Wide Variety of I/O
A fully sweepable NSEQ-style parametric equalizer (20 Hz - 25 kHz) provides an unlimited range of adjustable tonality. NSEQ is the same equalizer used by top mastering facilities around the globe. Ultra-transparent NSEQ bands are provided for high-resolution audio sculpting of instruments such as guitars, bass, and keyboards, or artistic and corrective work - adding "air" and "punch," removing "mud," and so forth ~ all with the smooth and artifact-free audio qualities for which NSEQ is well respected. Use as much or as little signal processing as you desire. TD-1's main signal path employs 100% discrete circuitry from input to output for critical sonic transparency and wide dynamic range. Switch in any number of additional processing features for enhanced utility and innovative functionality. Useful features such as polarity reversal (on all inputs), relay controlled -20 dB auto-balanced PAD (on all inputs), three ground lift switches + isolations (power / input / output), logic-controlled switch mutes, and worldwide internal toroidal power supply (user selectable 100V - 240V) provide enhanced versatility. TD-1 has four available audio inputs including Line Input (XLR), HV-3 Mic Preamp Input (XLR), DI Instrument Input (1/4"), and Power Amplifier/Speaker Soak Input (1/4"). All inputs are followed by the NSEQ parametric equalizer. Numerous routing, output, and grounding options round out the TD-1, including nine simultaneous audio outputs and distribution points:
  • REAMP Stratocaster (filtered) Guitar Simulation (1/4" phone)
  • REAMP Les Paul (linear) Guitar Simulation (1/4" phone)
  • Balanced Line Level Output (XLR)
  • Unbalanced Line Level Output (XLR)
  • Balanced Mic Level Output (XLR transformer-coupled)
  • Balanced Line Level Output (1/4" phone)
  • Unbalanced Line Level Output (1/4" phone)
  • Headphone Output (1/4" phone with gain control)
  • Direct "pass-through" Output (1/4" phone)

 Killer acoustic bass sound  
by John Schaffer from Madison, WI, November 22, 2006
Music Background:  Music educator, Recording Engineer, Pro Musician


“I've used this thing together with several different piezo pickups on my acoustic upright (jazz gigs), and I have never been so pleased in my 10 year quest to find the right sound. The 10meg input impedance (perfect for a piezo) gives an absolutely stunning sound in both tube and solid state modes. I have run it into the return jack on three different amps and it kicks their internal pres all...” Read More
