Description: Pre-owned in great working condition. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThis might be music's purest preamp. It's no wonder the iconic "HV-3" first dazzled engineers who worked with classical and acoustic music, where each and every single detail matters. But, more and more engineers from all genres have discovered the magic of the HV-3's musically transparent circuitry. The fact is, you can never "undo" the color your microphone preamplifier adds. In contrast to preamps that lay on lots of color, the Millennia HV-3 is meticulously crafted to give you the full, authentic voice of your microphone. That way, you're not committed from the start, and you can easily sculpt your sound later with the exact character you want. Hear the detail today with the Millennia HV-3D-8.The included Dante module puts the preamp on Audinate’s Dante network with 24-bit 96 kHz performance.Works with Audinate's DAnte and RedNet Ethernet networks24-bit 96 kHz eight-channel capabilityPrimary and secondary connections for redundant networksAll HV-3D/HV-3R units with an AD converter can have the option installedEIGHT REASONABLY PRICED CHANNELS OF HV-3 MAGICRepresenting the best per-channel deal for the iconic HV-3, the HV-3D-8 gives you eight of the original HV-3 preamps in one compact rackmount unit. It's no surprise that the HV-3D-8 is Millennia's best seller.PURE, MUSICAL, INCREDIBLY SMOOTH PREAMPLIFIERThe HV-3 is there, but it's not there. And that's exactly how you want it. Built to offer the most transparent path from your microphone to the rest of your signal chain, the HV-3 features a transformerless input, balanced audio path, and minimal amplifier design. Aficionados of classical and acoustic-based music may have first discovered the promise of the HV-3's honest approach to preamplification, but the preamp is rapidly making its way into studios of all genres. Once you've heard it, you'll realize that no color is a color, too. What you give the HV-3, you get.PRESERVES YOUR SOUND FOR LATER PROCESSINGMuch of our gear is soaked with character and personality. It's easy to overdo it. The Millennia HV-3 is ideal for the engineer who wants to try on color, without committing to one sound from the start. When you've recorded with the HV-3, you know you're starting from square one, so you can precisely dial in the tone, flavor, and character you want from your outboard gear or plug-in processors. To put it another way, if you were deciding what sculpture to make, you'd most likely want to start with an unchiseled piece of stone. The HV-3 translates the sound of the performance and the voice of your microphone, without getting in the way.KNOWN TO SAVE YOU TIME WITH EQWhen you're used to processing colored audio from the start, working with an HV-3 preamplifier will be a change. But, it's an easy workflow to get into. In particular, engineers who have used the HV-3 often note that tracks are somehow easier to EQ. With the right mic, in the right place, the HV-3 delivers a smooth, natural response that seems to require less tinkering. Without the heavy hand of a preamp, tracks seem to fall together into place.MILLENNIA GEAR IS MADE FOR DETAILFounder and chief designer John LaGrou takes the same approach to his exceptional audio gear as he does to the wine he cultivates in the California countryside. Detail matters, it's everything. Whether in a vintage of wine or your multi-track mix, taken together, those details can make a major difference in the end result. Millennia equipment celebrates those fine, subtle points, bringing you gear that's built with uncompromising quality to deliver purity in music.FEATURES:Eight-channel microphone preamplifierTransformerless designMatched high-speed discrete transistor octet has 23 dB input headroomUncolored timbral accuracy at all dynamic levelsEntirely balanced audio path with precision components maintains signal integrity: THD under 5 ppm (.0005%)Laser-trimmed FET-based output stage has 32dB headroom: drives 1000 foot (300 m) cable runs with easeStandard 36-step gain controls (1.5dB per step)Ultra-clean toroid power supplyGold audio connectors and switchesMogami Neglex OFC audio wiringSilver Teflon power wiringWelded sixteen-gauge steel rack chassis
