Millennia HV-316/16: reference microphone preamplification

The Millennia Media HV-316/16 represents an absolute standard in the world of professional microphone preamplification. Featuring 16 channels based on the renowned HV-3 architecture, it delivers extremely transparent, dynamic and coloration-free sound output, ideal for recording studios, broadcast and high-end live productions.

Uncompromising audio quality for studio and broadcast

Thanks to Millennia's typical discrete transistor topology and double-balanced circuitry, this preamplifier delivers exceptional sonic fidelity with virtually undetectable harmonic distortion. Wide headroom of up to +34 dBu allows even the most dynamic sources to be handled without saturation, while maintaining signal integrity and detail at all times.

Dante integration and advanced remote control

Native Dante integration enables flexible and scalable management of audio signals over an Ethernet network, with the ability to control up to 256 channels simultaneously. Ælogic software for Mac and Windows enables complete parameter control, including high-definition metering, grouping, linking, and scene management.

Professional and scalable digital workflow

With support for numerous sample rates up to 192 kHz and minimal latency, the HV-316/16 integrates seamlessly into modern audio production environments, ensuring reliable performance even in complex configurations.

Rugged construction and extreme reliability

Designed to operate in extreme environmental conditions, this preamplifier is built in an ultra-rugged 1U aluminum rack chassis. The redundant power supply system and selected components ensure operational continuity and durability, even in critical environments such as tours and broadcast installations.

Heavy-duty design

With an estimated power supply life of over 650,000 hours MTBF and advanced RF interference protections, the device is designed to ensure consistent performance even in high electronic density environments.
