Millennia HV-3C 2-Channel Microphone Preamp

Up for sale is a Millennia HV-3C 2-channel microphone preamp. This is a world-class, pristine-sounding preamp used often in classical and acoustic recording. It has been a part of my home recording setup with which I’ve made hundreds of acoustic guitar demos over the last couple years. I’m reorienting my home setup and raising funds for a particular Neve I’ve had my eye on for a little while.

Here are the features:

• High Speed Transformerless Design
• 23 Db Input & 32 Db Output Headroom
• Frequency response: +0/-3dB sub 4Hz to beyond 300kHz
• No Pads (Attenuators) Required
• Entirely Balanced Audio Path
• Laser Trimmed Fet-Based Output
• Thd+N Less Than 5 Ppm (.0005%)
• Matched Discrete Transistor Octet Front-End

Ofc Audio Wiring, Silver Teflon Power Wiring
• Ultra-Clean Toroid Power Supply
• Welded 16 Gauge Steel Rack Chassis
• Unsurpassed Ambience Retrieval

There is a fair amount of scratching and wear on the unit from having been rackmounted over the years, but everything is still functioning perfectly. Asking $1,600 here on Reverb (lower on other forums). Comes with power cable.
