Description
The HV-3C Stereo Microphone Preamplifier is an entirely double-balanced, extremely wide dynamic range stereo microphone preamplifier intended for demanding audio recording. In it Millenia combines precisely matched, discrete bipolar transistors with a laser trimmed DC coupled FET-based output driver stage. Unlike standard mic preamplifiers, the HV-3C never unbalances or rebalances the original signal, thus maintaining the highest degree of signal integrity.
Features- High-speed transformerless design 23dB input and 32dB output headroom No attenuation pads required Entirely balanced audio path Laser trimmed FET-based output THD+N less than 5 PPM (.0005%) Matched discrete transistor octet front end Precision components throughout Gold audio connectors and switches Standard 36-step gain control (1.5dB per step) Stereo gain matched to .08dB OFC audio wiring, silver Teflon power wiring Ultra-clean torroid power supply Welded 16-gauge chassis Unsurpassed ambience retrieval Effortless lifelike musical performance at all dynamic levels
