Millennia HV3C Preamp

Combining a precisely matched octet of discrete bipolar transistors with a laser trimmed DC coupled FET based output driver stage, the HV 3C tm is an entirely double balanced, extremely wide dynamic range stereo microphone preamplifier intended for demanding acoustic recording. 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 whos 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. 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. NOTE The HV 3C is a recently updated version of the HV 3B two channel mic preamp, with improved mechanical design and cosmetics, and standard 36 step gain control. HV 3C uses the identical preamps as found in the HV 3D 8 ch units.HV 3C signal path from input through output is entirely balanced with a minimum amplifier topology. Uncompromising circuit design with meticulous selection and hand matching of critical components assures consistently transparent audio performance at all dynamic excursions and frequency extensions.Features and SpecificationsHIGH SPEED TRANSFORMERLESS DESIGN23 dB INPUT & 32 dB OUTPUT HEADROOMNO PADS ATTENUATORS REQUIREDENTIRELY BALANCED AUDIO PATHLASER TRIMMED FET BASED OUTPUTTHDN LESS THAN 5 PPM .0005MATCHED DISCRETE TRANSISTOR OCTET FRONT ENDOPTIONAL BREL & KJR DPA 130V MIC INPUTSOPTIONAL DC INPUTS IDEAL FOR RIBBON MICSPRECISION COMPONENTRY THROUGHOUTGOLD AUDIO CONNE
