In a world where digital transmission demands total clarity, the Millennia Media HV-3C microphone preamplifier is an indispensable tool. Microphone preamps amplify signals up to a ratio of 1000:1, and after this point there is no "undo". Any coloration or distortion becomes an irrevocable part of the signal, and lost information cannot be recovered. Modern data compression algorithms such as MP3, AC3 or DTS cannot distinguish between signal and noise, making the preservation of the clarity and integrity of the signal crucial to preserving artistic intent and individuality. The HV-3C ensures that the input signal remains as pure and unadulterated as the artist intended.
The HV-3C's transformerless design delivers unparalleled signal precision and dynamics. With an input headroom of +23 dBu, no attenuation pads are required, and the laser-trimmed FET output stage with +32 dBu headroom transmits signals over 300 meters of cable without loss of quality. The fully balanced signal path ensures exceptional purity, which is documented with a distortion factor of less than 0.0005 % (5 ppm). Even the most subtle sonic details are preserved, making it an indispensable tool for professional recordings.
As one tester pointed out, "The HV-3 series offered an absolutely faithful reproduction of the microphone sound, without any inherent coloration..." George Petersen quoted from
The fully balanced signal processing of the HV-3C series guarantees unaltered sound integrity across the entire dynamic spectrum. Even at extreme dynamics, the sound remains unchanged, allowing for an effortless, realistic-sounding musical experience. This purity creates unlimited creative possibilities. Even the most advanced plug-ins cannot bring back lost upper harmonics or spatial sound components. Starting with an open, transparent signal is the first step to true creative freedom.
The HV-3C series is an investment in the future. It not only offers unparalleled sound quality, but also saves costs in the long term thanks to its durability and reliability . With a distortion factor of less than 0.0005 %, it sets new standards in audio quality and ensures unadulterated reproduction. As Millennia Media itself says: "You can pay more, but you can't spend less." For anyone pursuing a career in professional audio, the HV-3C is a tool that will remain a faithful companion for decades to come - a purchase that will pay dividends time and time again.
The HV-3C series offers flexible options for specific requirements, such as a DC-coupled input optimized for ribbon microphones or additional amplification of 10 dB at no extra charge. This means that the device can be adapted to a wide range of application conditions and remains a versatile tool for audio professionals.
The Millennia Media HV-3C series was developed to meet the highest demands. A welded 16-gauge steel housing, high-quality Grayhill gold switches and durable cabling made of Mogami Neglex OFC and silver Teflon guarantee an exceptional service life. Theuniversal power supply unit with over 500,000 hours (MTBF) ensures reliable performance in any situation.
The HV-3C was originally developed to meet the needs of the world's best classical soloists and ensembles. Through rigorous testing and hands-on experimentation, a preamplifier was created that offers unparalleled fidelity and realism. With over 40,000 channels in use today in symphony halls, stadium concerts and studios worldwide, the HV-3C delivers authentic sound that delights artists, engineers and producers alike.
