Elements 88R EQ

Authentic Neve 88R Console EQ
Uses genuine four-band equalization circuitry from Neve's flagship 88R console, delivering analogue processing rather than digital emulation.

Eight Channels of Analogue Equalization
Provides eight independent channels of Neve EQ in a single unit, making it suitable for multichannel recording, mixing and analogue signal processing.

Four-Band Semi-Parametric Design
Each channel features high, high-mid, low-mid and low-frequency bands for detailed tonal control across the frequency spectrum.

Switchable Bell and Shelving Filters
The high and low frequency bands offer selectable bell and shelving modes, providing flexibility for both focused adjustments and broader tonal shaping.

Continuously Variable Frequency Selection
All four EQ bands feature continuously adjustable frequency controls, allowing precise placement of equalization adjustments.

Generous Boost and Cut Range
Each EQ band offers up to ±18 dB of gain adjustment for subtle corrections or more pronounced tonal changes.

Genuine Analogue Signal Processing
Audio passes through physical Neve analogue circuitry, while the digital control system manages settings without emulating the sound.

DAW Plugin Control
The Element Control Plugin provides direct access to EQ parameters from within a compatible DAW, connecting analogue hardware with a software-based mixing workflow.

Complete Session Recall
EQ settings can be recalled automatically as part of a DAW session, simplifying revisions and maintaining consistency between mixing sessions.

DAW Automation Support
Automate analogue EQ parameters through the Element Control Plugin for dynamic processing changes throughout a mix.

Neve Elements App
Provides graphical control of the hardware outside the DAW, allowing access to processing settings through a dedicated application.

Intelligent Insert Matrix
Dedicated insert send and return connections allow external audio processors to be incorporated into the signal path, with digitally controlled insert positioning.

Flexible Multichannel Control
Configurable single, multiple and grouped channel views make it easier to manage processing across several channels.

Snapshots and Undo History
Stored snapshots and a 64-step undo system allow users to revisit previous configurations and reverse parameter changes.

Standalone and Expandable System
Operates independently with existing studio equipment and can be combined with other Neve Elements processors or integrated with the Neve 8424E console.
