The Neve 88 Series analog console represents the best of all Neve designs that came before it. Considered the ultimate console for modern features and reliability, it is also heralded as one of the best-sounding consoles ever made by veterans of both the audio and film communities. The 88RS has found a home in some of the finest rooms and scoring stages around the world, including Ocean Way, Abbey Road, AIR, The Village, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Skywalker Sound.
Originally designed by Neve in 1970, the Neve 1073 channel module is derived from revered Neve consoles such as the 8014. The 1073 is famous for adding otherwise unattainable sheen and clarity to music tracks. Modeling the 3-band EQ and high-pass filter with painstaking detail and thoroughness, Universal Audio's Neve 1073 EQ delivers the same sonic experience of its analog cousin with exacting detail. At no extra charge, the 1073 EQ includes a DSP optimized 1073SE EQ for high instance counts.
The Neve 1081 channel module was first produced in 1972 by Neve, and was used to provide the mic/line amp and EQ sections in consoles such as the Neve 8048. Vintage 8048 consoles, with 1081 modules, are still in wide use today- at classic facilities such as The Village in Los Angeles- and have been chosen by artists ranging from The Rolling Stones to The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Derived from the original Neve 2254 compressor, circa 1969, the 33609 stereo bus compressor/limiter utilizes a bridged-diode gain reduction circuit and many custom transformers. The uniquely musical character of this circuit made the 33609 a studio standard since its release. Every detail of the original unit is captured, and matches its hardware counterpart with absolute precision. The 33609 plug-in includes a DSP-optimized 33609SE which allows for higher instance counts.
Like all other UAD-2 cards the Nevana 64 can run any of the UAD-2 plug-in collection including favorites like the UA LA-2A, Fairchild 670 and Plate 140.
