| Preamps: | ||
| Our main mic preamps are in an eight-channel unit, the Yamaha HA8. This unit has been completely refurbished with premium capacitors and op-amps and yields a smooth, transparent sound with incredible depth. The Ramsa DA7 is also equipped with 8 high-quality mic pre-amps | We also have an Avalon VT737sp mic preamp equipped with compressor and 4-band EQ.
To put it simply - this unit sounds GREAT. It's used to great
effect on vocals in particular! |

two-channel mic preamp features wonderful transparent sound with great
depth and enhanced features for stereo micing.

| Recorders: | ||
| Our main recorder is a Mackie HDR2496 digital disk recorder. 24 tracks, 24 bits with full graphic editing and the ability to employ plug-in effects and other processing. We can also import and export projects done in other digital studios using Protools or other disk-based systems. |  |
|
| We also have a Tascam MX2424 which can be brought into service for projects originated on that system. |  |
|
| Two Alesis XT digital multi-track recorders and one Alesis Type II 20-bit recorder. We are able to synchronize these machines with the HDR 2496 or the MX2424 so that overdubs done in an ADAT studio can be included in projects recorded at the Millstream. |  |
