Microphone preamps amplify signals up to a ratio of 1000:1, and after this point there is no "undo". Any coloration or distortion becomes an irrevocable part of the signal, and lost information cannot be recovered. Modern data compression algorithms such as MP3, AC3 or DTS cannot distinguish between signal and noise, making the preservation of the clarity and integrity of the signal critical to preserving artistic intent and individuality. The HV-3C ensures that the input signal remains as pure and unadulterated as the artist intended. Unsurpassed sonic precision and dynamics The HV-3C's transformerless design delivers unparalleled signal precision and dynamics. With an input headroom of +23 dBu, no attenuation pads are required, and the laser-trimmed FET output stage with +32 dBu headroom transmits signals over 300 meters of cable without loss of quality. The fully balanced signal path ensures exceptional purity, which is documented with a distortion factor of less than 0.0005 % (5 ppm). Even the most subtle sonic details are preserved, making it an indispensable tool for professional recordings. As one tester pointed out, "The HV-3 series offered an absolutely faithful reproduction of the microphone sound, without any inherent coloration..." George Petersen quoted from MIX Magazine. Sound integrity across all dynamic levels The fully balanced signal processing of the HV-3C...
