The sound is great -- sweet, refined, full of
dynamics - fabulous on grand piano.
Tony Faulkner, Greenroom Productions, UK owner
of HV-3D and M-2B preamplifiers
The HV-3D is one of the finest pieces of gear
with which I have ever had the pleasure to work.
I use three of them to record the National Symphony
Orchestra at the Kennedy
Center, with spectacular results.

This is an outstanding mic preamp. I’ve
never heard our mics sound this clean on piano.
We’ve been using our [46 channels of] Millennia
preamps on everything...
Jack Renner, President, Telarc Records International
Our HV-3D is primarily dedicated to making a great
drum sound instantly available. It’s truly
a beautiful thing and it sounds awesome... The
HV-3D has added so much more
to the feeling of creativity in our studio and
I just want to say thanks for making such a great
unit. It’s a solid piece of work, looks
great and it sounds amazing - I’m in love!

“For the HBO Live Broadcast of The Rolling
Stones from Madison Square Garden 1/18/03, we
used 82 channels of HV-3s on stage to drive about
800 feet of wire five stories down to the Silver
Truck. I am absolutely amazed at how good it sounded
with that length of cable! Those HV-3s could drive
the Atlantic phone cable to London!”
David Hewitt, Chief Engineer, Remote Recording
Services
I like to get on tape (or on hard disc) what I
hear in the room. When I was looking for a new
mic pre, the main concerns were - no colouration,
transparency and the lowest
possible noise floor and reliability, because
we record 360 days a year. I simply could not
find anything better than the HV-3D.
Jörg Mayr, Audio Engineer, Music Producer

"Over a period of months, I used the HV-3 on all types of sessions, ranging from stereo-miked chamber ensembles to multi-track pop sessions. In all cases, the HV-3 provided an absolutely faithful rendition of the microphone's sound, without imparting any coloration of its own... An excellent value offering impeccable audio specs, first-rate construction, and sonic transparency under any conditions. The Millennia Media HV-3 is...for those who seek absolute purity in reproduction."
MIX Magazine, Feature Review By George Petersen, Editor
"Just to let you know, the recording we did of the Penderecki Credo won this year's Grammy for "Best Choral Recording". We used 16 channels of Millennia pre-amps on stage." THANKS FOR THE GREAT SOUND!!
