Know before you buy
The HV-32P is designed specifically to maintain the Millennia signature of absolute transparency. Unlike many portable preamps that add color or character, this unit is engineered to capture your source audio with complete sonic purity.
The preamp features a dedicated 10dB gain boost specifically for ribbon microphones. This provides the extra clean gain required to bring quiet ribbon mics up to a usable line level without introducing unwanted noise.
Yes, the HV-32P is built for mobility and supports battery operation. It can run on 12V to 15V DC power, making it a reliable choice for location recording where AC power is unavailable.
The 15dB pad is designed to prevent clipping when recording high-output sources like loud drums or aggressive guitar cabinets. It effectively lowers the input signal before it hits the preamp circuitry, ensuring a clean signal even at high volumes.
Yes, the unit includes switchable 48V phantom power for each channel. This allows you to safely power standard condenser microphones directly from the preamp.
The gain control is continuously variable. This allows you to make precise, smooth adjustments to your levels rather than being restricted to fixed decibel increments.
