The Neve 8801 channel strip is like having a complete channel from the legendary Neve 88R console in a single rackmount unit, boasting a classic Neve mic preamp and EQ circuitry with an 88R-style dynamics processor. Its signal path consists of a superb Neve preamp with high and low pass filters, 4 bands of highly musical EQ, a compressor, gate, dynamics side chain and an insert point. The filter section and/or the EQ section can even be routed to the dynamics side chain to tailor the dynamics response of any input signal.
Also featuring a USB port for direct connection to Mac or PC, the Neve 8801 includes proprietary Recall software (Mac and PC) that lets you seamlessly integrate it with workstations for instantaneous recall of all external device settings.
For further versatility, an optional Neve-designed analog-to-digital converter accommodates all standard sample rates up to 192kHz, as well as direct-to-DSD conversion.
