SAN FRANCISCO — Forty-eight channels of Millennia HV-3R preamps were used to capture the main stage performances at the recent Hardly Strictly Bluegrass event in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, October 3 through 5, 2014. Diablo Digital provided the live recording systems for the event. The company selected Millennia Media’s HV-3R preamps as the front-end.
Brad Madix, one of Diablo Digital’s principals and award-winning FOH sound engineer, “When you are recording and broadcasting a live event featuring nearly 100 world-class performers in front more than 650,000 people, there is no second chance. We wanted to use the Millennia preamps to make sure that we captured every nuance with the greatest accuracy possible.”
“The headroom of the Millennia’s along with their extremely wide dynamic range allowed us to work without sound checks over the entire three days. Setting gain wasn’t critical. We could operate with levels a bit on the low side to prevent our digital converters from clipping and still got amazing sounds. Really great sounding and simple to use – perfect in a situation when you’re flying by the seat of your pants!”
