Millennia TD-1 Half Rack Recording Channel
Introducing the Millennia TD-1 Half-Rack Recording Channel. The TD-1 is a compact yet sophisticated analog channel strip for microphones, electric guitars and basses, acoustic instrument transducers, keyboards, DAWs, and all MIDI systems. TD-1 Twin Direct includes Millennia's acclaimed HV-3 microphone preamplifier, making it an uncompromised front-end for virtually any audio recording application. Some have called the TD-1 a Mini-Origin.Audio engineers no longer need to choose between a tube or solid state front end. TD-1's instrument input employs Twin Topology — Millennia's innovative merging of vacuum tube and solid state circuit topologies. TD-1 offers a high voltage 100% vacuum tube instrument amplifier or a transparent 100% discrete F.E.T. solid state instrument amplifier in the same indestructable military-grade chassis. Both topologies can be switch selected and musically tuned via 3 selectable input impedances (470K/2M/10M). Up to 65dB of adjustable microphone and instrument gain is available via front-panel control.A simultaneous pair of patented Reamp outputs allow TD-1 to emulate both Les Paul and Strat pickups (Les Paul himself plays through a Millennia Origin). Reamp causes the guitar amplifier to think it's connected to a high impedance passive guitar pickup, instead of a very low impedance (and much too clean) active tape recorder or digital workstation output. Millennia's uncompromised DIT-01 mic-level DI output transformer (Frequency Response -3 dB @ 3 Hz & 300 kHz) is also included.Recording directly from any guitar amplifier is now possible with Millennia's innovative Speaker Soak technology. Simply connect any parallel speaker output (300W max) and start recording the authentic character of your guitar amplifier output under true dynamic speaker loading. An audiophile-grade headphone output with separate level control is also provided for pre-auditioning.A fully sweepable NSEQ-style parametric equalizer (20 Hz - 25 kHz) provides an unlimited range of adjustable tonality. NSEQ is the same equalizer used by top mastering facilities around the globe. Ultra-transparent NSEQ bands are provided for high-resolution audio sculpting of instruments such as guitars, bass, and keyboards, or artistic and corrective work — adding "air" and "punch," removing "mud," and so forth — all with the smooth and artifact-free audio qualities for which NSEQ is well respected.Use as much or as little signal processing as you desire. TD-1's main signal path employs 100% discrete circuitry from input to output for critical sonic transparency and wide dynamic range. Switch in any number of additional processing features for enhanced utility and innovative functionality. Useful features such as polarity reversal (on all inputs), relay controlled -20 dB auto-balanced PAD (on all inputs), 3 ground lift switches + isolations (power/input/output), logic-controlled switch mutes, and wo...details

Millennia TCL-2 Twincom Stereo Compressor / Limiter
The Millennia TCL-2 Twincom is an ultratransparent, 2-channel opto-compressor/limiter. The Twincom delivers Class-A biased all-discrete J-FET solid-state operation or Class-A biased all-triode vacuum tube operation at the touch of a switch.The TCL-2 Twincom stereo compressor/limiter with Twin Topology is Millennia's innovative new merging of vacuum tube and solid state circuit topologies. A front panel switch selects between a complete vacuum tube audio path or a fully discrete solid-state audio path - in the same chassis. Both circuit topologies are entirely transformerless, high voltage, and minimalist.The Twincom has only one active stage in the audio signal path for greater sonic integrity and heightened musical reality. This stage is optimized as an input buffer, dynamics amplifier, and output driver. Greatly increased musical clarity is achieved as precious audio signals are spared from successively colored amplifier stages.The Twincom is also designed as an entirely balanced circuit. The balanced input signal remains balanced from input to output, avoiding the need for audio transformers or additional amplifiers in the signal path.Why transformerless? Transformers add coloration to audio signals; coloration which is not conducive to sonic purity. Via innovative design techniques, the Twincom avoids audio transformers entirely, allowing the remarkable musicality of Class-A triode dynamics without the unavoidable sonic artifacts common to signal path transformers.The solid-state aspect of Twin Topology consists of 100% Class-A all discrete J-FET (field effect transistor) amplifiers. The vacuum tube aspect of Twin Topology employs 300 volt, 100% Class A, hand-tested and selected triode vacuum tubes. To use the vacuum tube amplifier, simply press a front panel switch. To use the solid-state amplifier, press the switch again. Both topologies are designed to deliver musical optimization with individual character.The Twincom offers illuminated push-button switches, machined aluminum knobs, extruded and radiused face plate (nearly 3/8" thick), and a stylish "TT" logo deeply engraved into every panel. The Twincom employs exquisite high voltage amplifiers free of transformer coupling, carefully designed around the finest grades of passive components (Vishay pots, Roederstein resistors, Wima and Electrocube capacitors, Neglex OFC audio cabling, gold tube connectors and relay contacts, silver Teflon power wiring, large Sifam true audio level meters, etc.)....details
