The HV-3R has a plug 'n play Pro Tools interface via MIDI. Using Ethernet, and a Remote PC or Mac application, you can manage a complex system from anywhere: around the corner or around the world.
Mic preamplifiers magnify the input as much as 1000:1. There's no "Undo" after this point. Coloration or distortion become part of the signal. Lost information can never
be recovered. The HV-3 Series' open, transparent signal path has defined "high
definition" since its introduction. Location recording is a high-wire act, with only one chance to capture the living moment of performance in its original ambience. The HV-3 Series is designed to transmit microphone signals to recording devices unaltered and has proven its ability to drive extremely long cable runs.
The HV-3 Series was developed to be accurate enough for the world's finest acoustic recordings. Textbook theory is an incomplete guide, and test instrument readings don't
reliably measure the quality of the listening experience. Millennia took a rigorously empirical approach, exploring many design approaches by attempting to perfect each one. Experimental designs were evaluated on the lab bench and in our own production facility, where they could compare recordings directly to live performances. This resulted in satisfying themselves that there's no such thing as a straight wire with gain. However, the HV-3 Series' transformerless input, balanced audio path, minimal amplifier design has brought them closer than any other to a goal of absolute accuracy and uncompromised sonic realism.
Today, over 25,000 channels are performing in symphonic halls, stadium concerts and studios of all sizes and shapes. Whatever the venue or musical style, the HV-3 Series delivers the authentic sound of vocalists, acoustic instruments, drums, triple guitar stacks... delighting artists, engineers, producers and listeners around the world.
