What We Think

This is quite simply Millennia’s most famous microphone preamplifier, for which the company’s decades of stellar reputation has been built - upgraded with design features for a modern, digital time and place. In addition to the world-renowned sound of the HV3D 8-channel unit, this HV3r-d unit allows for digital remote control, and the unbelievable excellent sounding built-in AD-R96 A/D converter (independently a $1350 upgrade all by itself). It’s the perfect companion to a world-class remote workstation, on stage or location recording, or the ideal front end to any recording studio that demands the crystalline transparency of the legendary Millennia HV3 preamp, coupled with their truly remarkable sounding A/D conversion.

If you are looking for the beautiful, defined sound of your room and your source, the Millenia preamps are the first and last place you should look. With remote accessibility and pristine A/D conversion in one simple box, the HV3r with the digital option should be your first choice!

This unit is a completely certified, Factory Refurb. It has been in our studio as a well-cared, well-loved demo unit, and was sent back to Millennia for a complete A-Z factory recertification. Everything from consumables like Lightbulbs to switches and circuits; Millennia went through this unit top to bottom to ensure that the HV3D and Digital A/D card are operating exactly as they were from day one from the factory. This is such a great opportunity to get a fully loaded HV3r-d, with a factory warranty, for our most aggressive price.
