Millennia HV-32 Single Channel 200 Series Microphone Preamplifier Module User Guide

Protecting Against Electrostatic

Discharge – Static electricity can harm delicate components on the HV-32 board.
To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any jumpers or switches with the cover removed. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the API rack’s chassis.

Do not install or remove the module until the console or rack’s power is off.

Compatible Racks – The HV-32 is designed to work in an API L200 rack, Vision or Legacy console. If you are using another brand, be sure it meets or exceeds the API spec.

The HV-32 power consumption is: +140mA,–25mA with Phantom Power selected

Signal LEDs indicate signal level at -30dBu (green), +8dBu (yellow) and +18dBu (red).

Gain is a continuously variable gain control. It has a high gain jump near full clockwise for low level signals.

Ribbon-Dyn Mic DC couples the mic to the gain stage and also provides an additional 10dB of gain. Use with any Ribbon or Dynamic mic (like an SM-57).
A mic requiring phantom power will not work in this mode.

Pad – Attenuates the input signal after the gain stage by 15dB.

Phantom Power –turns the +48V phantom power supply on.

Avoid connecting or disconnecting mics with the +48V on (hot patching). This can damage the mic, preamp and make some very loud pops that can damage your monitoring system and ears.
