Audiophile Quality in a Portable Unit!Millennia introduces the TD-1Recording Channel. 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 TD-1 an uncompromised front-end for virtually any audio recording application. Some have called TD-1 a Mini-Origin.Millennia TD-1 At-a-Glance:Tube or Solid-statePatented REAMP Outputs and Speaker Soak TechnologyDiscrete Circutiry with Parametric EQ and Wide Variety of I/OTube or Solid-stateAudio engineers no longer need to chose between tube front-end 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- 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 three selectable input impedances (470K/2M/10M). Up to 65dB of adjustable microphone and instrument gain is available via front-panel control.Patented REAMP Outputs and Speaker Soak TechnologyA 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 -3dB @ 3Hz & 300kHz) 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.Discrete Circutiry with Parametric EQ and Wide Variety of I/OA fully sweepable NSEQ-style parametric equalizer (20Hz - 25kHz) 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 -20dB auto-balanced PAD (on all inputs), three ground lift switches + isolations (power / input / output), logic-controlled switch mutes, and worldwide internal toroidal power supply (user selectable 100V - 240V) provide enhanced versatility. TD-1 has four available audio inputs including Line Input (XLR), HV-3 Mic Preamp Input (XLR), DI Instrument Input (1/4"), and Power Amplifier/Speaker Soak Input (1/4"). All inputs are followed by the NSEQ parametric equalizer. Numerous routing, output, and grounding options round out the TD-1, including nine simultaneous audio outputs and distribution points:REAMP Stratocaster (filtered) Guitar Simulation (1/4" phone)REAMP Les Paul (linear) Guitar Simulation (1/4" phone)Balanced Line Level Output (XLR)Unbalanced Line Level Output (XLR)Balanced Mic Level Output (XLR transformer-coupled)Balanced Line Level Output (1/4" phone)Unbalanced Line Level Output (1/4" phone)Headphone Output (1/4" phone with gain control)Direct "pass-through" Output (1/4" phone)Millennia TD-1 Preamp Features:Hv-3 Discrete Hybrid Microphone & Instrument Preamplifier (+65dB Gain)High Voltage 100% Vacuum Tube Instrument Input + Variable Impedance (470k To 10m)100% Discrete Solid-State Instrument Input + Variable Impedance (470k To 10m)Class-A, 100% Discrete, Dc-Coupled Line Output Amplifier Stage (-105dB Noise)Nseq-Style Fully Parametric Dual Band Equalizer (Full Sweep 20Hz - 25kHz)Millennia Dit-01 Di Output Transformer (-3dB @ 3Hz & 300kHz)Patented Reamp Les Paul & Stratocaster Guitar Simulation Outputs (2)Speaker Soak Direct Guitar Amplifier Input TechnologyInternal 50v & 200v High Voltage Audio Path Rails (Less Than .0005% Thd)Audiophile-Grade 1/4" Headphone Output With Individual Level ControlMusically Rich Vintage Di Vacuum Tube AvailableInput / Output / Power Ground-Lift Switches ~ Total Hum EliminationIndestructable Steel Chassis With (Removable) Leather Carrying HandleEffortless, Lifelike Musical Performance At All Dynamic Levels (+32dB Output)Oversize Rubber Feet (Removable) ~ Takes Big Abuse On Stage & Studio FloorBuilt-In Coupling Hardware For Td-1 Stereo Pair In 19" RackWorldwide Internal Toroid Power, Switchable 100 / 120 / 220 / 240 VacGold Connectors, Gold Tube Sockets, 100,000,000 Cycle Gold RelaysSilver / Teflon Power Wiring, Neglex Oxygen-Free Audio WiringComponentry Sourced From The World's Finest ManufacturersGlove Fitted, Padded Cordura Nylon Logo Gig Bag AvailableConstructed For Vintage Longevity, Cosmetically AppealingThe Millennia TD-1 - Portable Audiophile Quality!
