For decades, Neve consoles have been synonymous with some of the most iconic recordings in music history. But what happens when you take the character of a large-format console and condense it into a 500 Series rack? You get a flexible, compact way to bring the Neve sound into more studios than ever before.
Neve first brought the design of its 88RS console to the 500 Series format in 2012 with the 88R LB. This compact, Marinair transformer-equipped mic preamp captures the input stage of the desk in a portable format, delivering the depth, warmth, and detail the brand is known for.
To complete the 88RS-inspired 500 Series channel strip, Neve recently expanded the lineup with the 88R LBC and 88R LBEQ. The LBC is a versatile VCA compressor featuring Adaptive Attack technology, giving engineers precise control over dynamics while maintaining the musical response expected from a Neve design. The LBEQ is a four-band parametric EQ with generous headroom, allowing for detailed tonal shaping while preserving the character of the source.
For our latest First Listen video, we utilized two sets of Neve 88R 500 Series modules to track an entire song. Every source was recorded using this setup, and the full stereo mix featured in the video was also processed through the Neve modules.
Watch the video below to hear the impact of Neve circuitry on individual sources and how it builds across an entire mix. The track features performances by Olivia Dear (Vocals), Bryan Reilly (Electric Guitar, Bass, Mellotron, and Acoustic Guitar), and Dustin McLaughlin (Drums). It was engineered and mixed by Bryan Reilly at Scramble Shack.
