A new direction in analogue consoles designed in co-operation with SAE Institute to cater for the professional music market
The Custom Series 75 was designed by experienced sound engineers. Tom Misner (owner of AMS Neve) was the driving force behind the unique features of this console. All key components (e.g. transformers, wing knobs) are genuine AMS Neve components.
With the release of the 1073 Neve line amp in 1970, and the 1081 EQ released in 1973, Neve's classic circuitry has consolidated their position in the professional audio industry. Since then, a desire for 'cleaner' recordings using modern circuitry has resulted in classic circuitry becoming an option but not the only option. The development of technology and the digital world cannot be ignored.
With these two mindsets clear, the Neve Custom Series 75 has achieved a world first, the combination of classic circuitry and modern circuitry in one console.

Channel Strip Features
The Input Module hosts the Channel Input Selector, Gain and Trim, Phase, 48V, and High Pass Filter. All buttons are recallable using the console's scenes.
The console output stages use the Neve 1073 line amplifiers and the classic Neve 70' mic preamps including a built in high pass filter.
Each module contains two stereo (A & B) and three mono (Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3) Auxiliary Sends.
All features other than the level controls in the Auxiliary Section are recallable.
The 2081 EQ is based on the acclaimed 1081 EQ. It blurs the line between circuitry and musicality!
If you are familiar with the original, you will experience far cleaner and quieter output, with the same 'musical' quality.
Switchable insert point.
The Monitor path section features a rotary trim control and two selectable inputs, DAW and Line. The Pan controls are dual function and will Solo Isolate when depressed.
Retro routes the Channel path to the Retro Output Stage (voltage summing).
