Neve 1272 Line Amp

Neve

The Neve 1272 is a solid-state line amplifier. It does not accept microphone signals. It adds clean, transformer-coupled gain to line-level sources. It offers no input flexibility, no EQ, no saturation controls. Its value lies in its place in a fixed-path studio chain — not in versatility.

Neve 2254

Neve

The Neve 2254 is an all-analog compressor/limiter from the late 1960s, revived as the 2254-R with identical circuitry and only a new casing. It delivers thick, heavy compression — especially on vocals — via straightforward controls: ratio, attack, recovery, limit level, gain makeup and mode. Its unique meter and lack of digital elements make it tactile and immediate. It offers no stereo linking, no variable knee, no recall — just weight, simplicity and a singular sonic character.

Neve 2264A

Neve

The Neve 2264A is a mono limiter/compressor module built for studio use. No technical specifications are published. It weighs 1.3 kg. Its function is defined by category, not data sheet.

Neve 31102

Neve

The Neve 31102 is a UAD-exclusive software graphic EQ. It has no published technical specifications. It offers fixed-band EQ only. It requires UAD hardware to run. It makes no claim to model any specific Neve hardware circuit.

Neve 31105

Neve

The Neve 31105 is a channel strip. No technical specifications are available. Nothing else is confirmed.

Neve 33115

Neve

The Neve 33115 is a compact, broadcast-optimised channel strip built in Cambridge between 1974 and 1975. It uses the same class A preamp and EQ circuitry as the 1081 but drops the fourth EQ band and simplifies the layout. Its 300/1200 Ω input switch supports ribbons. It belongs in small consoles like the Melbourne and broadcast frames like the 5315 and 5316—not in large-format studio rigs.

Neve 33609

Neve

The Neve 33609 is a dual-channel, all-analog studio compressor and limiter occupying two rack units. Each channel contains independent compressor and limiter sections. The compressor section provides threshold, recovery, gain, ratio, and bypass. The limiter section provides threshold, recovery, fast/slow attack, and bypass. It supports dual-mono or stereo operation with per-channel gain reduction metering.

Neve 8058

Neve

The Neve 8058 is a 24-channel analog mixer with 31102 preamps (essentially 1084s), semi-parametric EQ per channel, and 16 buses. It has no automation. Its sound is full, deep and low-mid-rich — a deliberate, non-neutral colouration.

Neve 8068

Neve

The Neve 8068 is a 1970s large-format analog console with 32 fully equipped channel strips—24 on the left, 8 on the right—each featuring a mic preamp, parametric EQ in the standard Neve style, and routing options. Its sound is defined by strong low-mid response and a balance of clarity and warmth. It is exceptionally difficult for beginners but familiar to experienced Neve users.

8:45

Neve 8108

Neve

The Neve 8108 is a 32-channel analog mixing console built in 1979. It delivers warm, full preamps and top-notch parametric EQ on every channel. Its channel strips are laid out for convenient access. Its digital routing system is quirky.

Neve BCM10

Neve

The Neve BCM10/2 Mk2 is an analog mixer made by AMS-Neve. No technical specifications are available. Nothing else is verified.

Neve Capricorn

Neve

The AMS-Neve Capricorn is a digital mixer. That is all the source confirms. No specifications. No year. No sound. No interface description. No user reports. No cultural footprint. It exists only as a category entry.

Neve V Series

Neve

The Waves V-Series is an effects bundle with no published technical details. It offers no verifiable functionality, no documented use cases, and no basis for evaluation beyond its category label.

Neve VR

Neve

The Neve VR LEGEND 60 is confirmed only as an analog mixer. No technical specifications exist in the source material. Nothing is verified about its design, operation, application, or outcome.

Neve 80 Series

Neve

The Neve 80 Series is a hand-wired analogue mixing console built from 1968 to 1979. It uses custom preamps, line amps, and compressor/limiters wired point-to-point by hand. The 8048 model features the 1081 preamp and 4-band EQ across 24 or 32 channels. In 1976, Neve launched the in-line-monitor 8058 and 8068. Late-’70s units offered NECAM, the world’s first successful moving-fader automation system. Production was limited; manufacturing ceased in 1979.
