Neve

Neve has been a pioneer in professional audio technology since the 1960s, renowned for its high-quality mixing consoles and preamp designs. Founded by Rupert Neve, the company introduced early consoles like the 1050 and 2254, celebrated for their innovative routing and EQ options. Now part of AMS Neve, the brand remains a leader in professional audio, with its preamps and consoles still favoured in top studios worldwide for their unmatched sonic quality.

The Neve 80 Series represents one of the most important families of analogue recording consoles ever built, hand-wired, discrete and designed to deliver musical, detailed sound at a time when recording technology was rapidly evolving. Introduced between 1968 and 1979 and manufactured at Neve’s purpose-built facility, these consoles helped define the sonic character of 1970s high-end recording. Their lasting influence was reinforced decades later when Dave Grohl’s documentary film Sound City highlighted the historical importance of the series and its role in shaping many classic albums.
