Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Millennia

Media HV-316 Remote-Controllable Microphone

Preamplifier.

We will refer to both the HV-316/8 8-Channel

and HV-316 16-Channel as the HV-316 unless

there is an operational difference.

The HV-316 is the result of meticulous blind listening

tests on innumerable circuit topologies and E/M

designs. Your HV-316 is a finely tuned instrument

intended for critical professional applications —we

feel it offers the world's most sonically neutral

microphone preamplification.

Up to 16 HV-316s can be simultaneously controlled

plus an additional 16 HV-3Rs –a total of 384

channels on one system. A high-speed Ethernet

control interface makes this possible without any

significant system control latency, even if all 384

channels were to change parameters simultaneously.

Future Update: The MIDI control interface is

compatible with Avid’s Pro Tools®“PRE” remote

microphone preamplifier protocol. As defined by

Avid, up to 4 HV-316 (8 HV-316/8) units can be

simultaneously controlled with MIDI in Pro Tools.

Safety Precautions

For your safety and the safety of others, be sure to

read and understand all safety and operational

instructions before attempting to use the HV-316.

WARNING: The HV-316 internal circuitry carries

lethal voltages. Carefully observe all warnings,

precautions, and instructions on the HV-316 and as

described in the instructions supplied with the unit.

Water, Moisture, and Spillage –Do not attempt

to use the HV-316 in, near, or around water or in

unusually moist environments, such as near a sink or

swimming pool. Prevent liquids or any other

materials or objects from spilling or falling into the

HV-316 unit.

Heat & Ventilation –Be sure to allow adequate

ventilation on both sides of the HV-316 and avoid

blocking the fan air intake and exit vents.

Power Sources & Power Cord Protection –The

HV-316 Power Supply should be connected to a

power source only of the type described in the

operating instructions or as marked on the Power

Supply. Route the power cord so that it is not likely

to be walked on or pinched by having objects placed

on it. Pay particular attention to plugs, receptacles,

and the point where the AC power cord exits the

HV-316.

Grounding –For your safety, it is extremely

important that the grounding pin of the 3-wire power

cable (included with 110 Volt units) be inserted into

a grounding type 3-pin power outlet. If you are

unable to insert the plug into an existing outlet,

contact an electrician to install a properly grounded

3-pin power outlet, preferably that with OFI / GFI

protection, if available.

Damage Requiring Service –This unit should be

repaired or serviced by qualified personnel

whenever:

•The AC power cord has been damaged, or

•Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into

any HV-316 unit, or

•The unit does not function properly or

exhibits a marked change in performance,

•The unit has been abused, dropped, or

damaged, or

•The unit has been exposed to rain or

moisture.

Servicing –Lethal voltages are found inside the

HV-316 chassis. The user should not attempt to

repair or service this unit. All servicing and/or repairs

should be referred to Millennia.

If, after reading all instructions, precautions, and

warnings, you have remaining questions, please

contact Millennia directly before attempting to use

your HV-316.

The HV-316 enclosure measures approximately 17”

wide x 1.75” high x 16” deep and is designed for

mounting into a standard 1U, 19” equipment rack. If

the HV-316 is mounted in a road case or other rack

which is prone to strong vibration or shock, it is

highly recommended that the rear of the HV-316 be

supported or otherwise reinforced to withstand such

conditions.

HV-316 is designed on a common ground topology.

For high quality operation, and for your own safety

and the safety of others, do not defeat the power

cord earth grounding pin.

HV-316 Front-End Protection –Millennia Music &

Media Systems enjoys a reputation for what many

top engineers and producers call the world’s most

musically accurate and dynamically uniform

microphone preamplifier —the HV-3. But this

thoroughbred design is not achieved without certain

operating criteria. To maintain top performance and

protect the HV-316’s sensitive HV-3 front-end, it is

advised that you do not insert or extract

microphones with phantom power on. Get in the

habit of waiting about ten seconds for the phantom

power to fully “ramp down” before inserting or

removing a microphone. This is good advice for

protecting your microphone investments, as well.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved

by MILLENNIA MEDIA, FPC (Millennia) could void

your authority to operate this equipment under the

EC, ICAN, or FCC rules.

Getting Started

Millennia’s Ælogic software (Windows 10 only, other

versions may work but are not supported) is used to

control the unit and should be installed on your

computer before connecting the HV-316 to the

network. It can be downloaded at Ælogic Software

Scroll down to the Downloads section.

Installing the Ælogic Software –Turn off virus

protection software before installing. Remember to

turn the protection software on when finished.

You need to allow Ælogic all permissions to access

your network. Failing to do so will prevent the

software from seeing the Millennia Preamps

connected.

If you are using Wi-Fi®, turn it off and use the wired

Ethernet connection to be sure all the permissions

are applied to it so you connect the HV-316 directly

to your computer to initialize its IP address.

network that you have chosen to use your HV-316s.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is

also an option for “IP Address”, but we don’t

recommend using it unless you are familiar with

networking and have the proper network hardware

that supports it.

Ethernet and MIDI control cannot be used

simultaneously –only one remote control protocol

can be used in an HV-316 network.

Default Settings –The HV-316 is shipped to

startup with the default settings:

•All functions turned off (POL, PAD, 48V,

MUTE, SPLIT, SAFE, RBN and HPF).

•IP Address set to 192.168.1.221

•Netmask 255.255.255.0

Ælogic Operation

Millennia’s Ælogic remote control software is

intuitive. What follows is an in-depth description of

its available functions. Refer to Appendix for a list of

keyboard shortcuts.

Unit Status Window –The example screen above

shows a Unit Status window in which seven HV-316

units (112 channels) are connected to the remote

network. The Unit Status window displays an icon of

each HV-316 unit on the network. The status of each

HV-316 is represented by its icon’s color code, as

follows:

Red Icon –“Unit ID Has a Conflict with Another

Unit”. If two or more HV-316s share the same Unit

ID number or IP address, their icons will turn red

and will show identical IDs or IP addresses until the

conflict is resolved.

Setting a Unit ID or IP address must be done locally

on each HV-316. Other errors could also cause a red

icon, such as over-temperature, power supply out of

range, other networking errors, etc.

Green Icon –“Functioning Normally”. Remote unit

functioning normally.

Flashing Green Icon –HV-3R only. “Functioning

Normally, Local Mode”. Remote unit is functioning

normally but is in the local mode.

HV-3R only: if the unit is in Local mode when Ælogic

is started, it won’t appear. Be sure to change the

unit to Remote mode so the software can recognize

the HV-3R.

Purple Icon –“Unit ID Is Offline”. A unit was

previously connected to the network and set to this

Unit ID but is missing from the network. It was

either turned off or the Ethernet was disconnected or

both.

Blue Icon –The Redundant Power Supply is

powering the unit and the internal power supply is

offline due to either failing or losing AC mains power.

Gray Icon –“Unit ID Is Inactive”. No unit is

connected to the network and set to this Unit ID.

Unit ID Conflict –If more than one unit has the

same ID number this warning will

appear. You must correct the

problem before you can continue.

Unit Status Dialog –Double left mouse click on

any icon brings up that unit’s Unit Status dialog box

displaying the following information:

1. Unit Functionality

2. 48v Monitor (HV-3R)

3. 24v Monitor (HV-3R)
