Millennia M-2b
At Recording Services, the M-2b is not often used, because of the nature of remote-gig live being bumpy and risky for tubes. Also, the sound of the tube will be lost with audience noise, and in the space the 2-channels take up, we can fit the HV-3D with 8 preamps instead.
I use this preamp during recording sessions, especially Marimba, or easy 2-track concerts such as MSU Chorale.
As noted on the other Millennia’s:
However, I consider the Millennia sound much like the Emm Labs converters and other hi-fi product; very pristine accuracy in the high end. Sometimes I do not like it, and prefer a smoother response. For other applications its perfects. Just depends on the source material. As John La Grou wrote in this article:
Within these classifications exists a wide array of design techniques and specifications”.....“It suffices to say that each design approach, when done well, has a definite place in professional audio and can provide the engineer with subjective and objective solutions not achievable in the studio console.
