Millennia HV-3C Stereo Microphone/Line Amplifier

I am offering the legendary Millennia Media HV-3C. As many of you know, this unit is a world-class industry standard for transparent, high-fidelity preamplification. 

I am the original owner. The unit is in excellent condition and will be shipped securely in its original box.

This preamp is famous for its crystalline transparency. It provides a clean, uncolored signal, but with a subtle, pricey nuance in the high frequencies that adds a touch of sheen to any source. I’ve used it extensively for vocal and acoustic guitar tracking with incredible results.

One of its strongest points is the precision of the gain tracking—the left and right channel balance and gain increments are rock-solid and perfectly matched. It has been the most reliable "workhorse" in my studio. 

It works beautifully as both a mic and line preamp. I’ve even used it to process 2-track stems just to take advantage of that gorgeous high-end sheen.

The HV-3C has been kept in my smoke-free, humidity-controlled private studio, securely rack-mounted since day one. Because my studio is a custom timber-built space, you might notice a pleasant, faint scent of Western Red Cedar upon unboxing. :-D

I am happy to offer a discount if you purchase this along with my other listed gear (Kush Audio, etc.). Please feel free to reach out with any questions or offers!
