Millennia HV-35 Microphone Preamplifier Module
The Millennia HV-35 is a single-channel microphone preamplifier for API 500 series racks, with a front-panel instrument input, a ribbon mode, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter.
It fits an API 500VPR or a lunchbox rack, or another rack built to the API spec, and draws its power from the rack, phantom power included.
Gain runs from 14.5 dB to 60 dB and rises faster near the knob’s full clockwise position, for low-level signals. The ribbon mode DC couples a ribbon or dynamic microphone to the gain stage and adds 10 dB, for up to 70 dB of gain. A microphone that needs phantom power does not work in this mode.
The Hi-Z instrument input takes bass guitars and other high-impedance sources. The high-pass filter rolls off below 80 Hz at 6 dB per octave, and the pad cuts the signal by 13.5 dB after the gain stage. The polarity flip changes how several microphones on one source interact.
