The best of Millennia in one versatile box
If you're familiar with the boutique, meticulously designed quality of Millennia gear, then you know the Origin STT-1 represents the "best-of," giving you an extremely flexible box for any application. The Origin STT-1's unique design starts with Millennia's "Twin Topology," letting you switch between two separate signal paths, one tube and one solid-state, each with its own set of sound characteristics and flavor. With tube and solid-state versions of Millennia's premium NSEQ-2 mastering-grade parametric EQ and opto compressor/limiter, the Millennia Origin STT-1 behaves like multiple channel strips in one, letting you quickly tap into everything Millennia has to offer.Twin Topology gives you the most flexibility
The entire Millennia line is committed to musicality, from the pure voice of the renowned HV-3 solid-state preamp to the subtle, detailed splash of tube color you'll hear from the M-2B based preamp. With the Origin STT-1, you get both, thanks to Millennia's Twin Topology. You can instantly switch between solid-state and tube-based signal paths to find the sound characteristics you want for your project. The preamp voices are followed up by twin NSEQ-2 mastering-grade parametric EQs, again, tube or discrete solid state, depending on what you've selected. You'll find that the NSEQ-2 is a departure from the other parametric EQs you may have had your hands on. It's offers a sort of big, clear, clean, almost "transparent" EQ-ing that lets you dig in and sculpt your sound, without the problems with overdrive and distortion that plague other options. Outside of its flexible EQ, the Origin STT-1 offers a trio of opto compressor/limiter paths. You can take advantage of Millennia's popular TCL tube compressor for a gentle sort of squeeze or tap into discrete solid state and passive flavors of compression to suit the source material you're working with.Millennia gear is made for detail
