As music doesn’t always occur in a controlled studio environment, the need for high quality portable audio recording gear remains strong. So for those dedicated to capturing music and sound that happens outside the recording studio, we offer the Lunatec V3 portable DC powered 2 channel mic preamplifier with AD converter.
The Lunatec V3 is built to deliver the same transparent, high fidelity audio performance as the rest of our line, while being portable enough to fit in a shoulder bag and accompany you and a portable recorder anywhere you need to go.

Sound designers, concert tapers, remote engineers, classical engineers or anyone with a portable recording system will simply be thrilled by the depth, clarity and realism the Lunatec V3 delivers.
Our ultra-low distortion, 24/192kHz A/D converter is included as standard. Flexible outputs include S/PDIF, TOSLINK and AES3.

Both single and dual-wire 176.4 and 192 kHz AES/EBU modes are provided via a pair of XLR connectors, which enable connection to today’s high sample rate dual-wire digital recording systems as well as including the provision for single-wire systems that will likely become the standard in the future.

The Lunatec V3 is also equipped with our unique new analog noise shaping dither circuit, or ANSRTM, which can be applied for ultra-high quality word length reduction when sending signals to a 16-bit digital recorder.

With measured and sonic performance that rivals even the finest microphone preamplifiers, the Lunatec V3 effortlessly translates the most subtle, complex low-level ambient information or highly dynamic material without noise or coloration. What your microphones hear is what gets recorded.

Combined with all the essential features needed for true portability, the Lunanec V3 is hands down the best performing portable, DC powered microphone preamplifier available.
