Millennia HV-3D/8 8-channel Microphone Preamp
I bought two of these about a year ago with the intention to built a home studio. I ended up never building it and now I want to get rid of them. I paid 4.5K a piece. The preamps are brand new, never really used.

Only turned them one a few times to see if they worked on my system. Repacked in a new box. The HV-3D 8 is an eight channel channel preamp, fully matched microphone preamplifier of uncompromising sonic character, technical specification, and mechanical workmanship. The HV-3D offers multiple channels of HV-3 preamplifiers at significantly less per-channel cost.

Transformerless design with matched hi-speed discrete transistor octet has 23 dB input headroom: no attenuator pads needed. Uncolored timbral accuracy at all dynamic levels.

Entirely balanced audio path with precision components maintains signal integrity: THD under 5 ppm. Effortless, vividly realistic, musical performance.

Laser-trimmed FET-based output stage has 32 dB headroom: drives 1000 foot (300 m) cable runs with ease. Standard 36-step gain controls (1.5 dB per step) are stereo matched to. Gold audio connectors and switches. Mogami Neglex OFC audio wiring. Welded 16 gauge steel rack chassis.

With circuitry identical to Millennia's acclaimed HV-3 series high voltage microphone preamplifier, the HV-3D 8 provides eight of the HV-3 mic preamps in a 2U rack space. The HV-3D delivers identical HV-3 circuitry and sonic performance at a significantly lower cost per channel.

Unlike preamps using vacuum tubes, IC function modules, and audio transformers all of which lend their own audio coloration the Millennia Media HV-3D is precisely optimized towards capturing the subtlest detail of music and ambience. With +23 dBu input headroom, the HV-3D requires no input pads 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.

Millennia Media is an acoustic music production company and product engineering group. We have produced hundreds of symphony orchestra recording sessions and innumerable other smaller acoustic sessions. Millennia products are offered publicly only after painstaking improvements to even the smallest design detail. HV-3D signal path from input through output is entirely balanced with a minimum amplifier topology.

Uncompromising circuit design with meticulous selection and matching of critical components assures consistently transparent audio performance at all dynamic excursions and frequency extensions. Moreover, moderately capacitive cables up to nearly 1000 feet in length have been driven from HV-3 mic preamps with no immediately detectable signal degradation.
