Vintage King Los Angeles is excited to invite you to our Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Console Open House on Thursday, May 22nd. Join us in the showroom from 5 to 8 PM for a special evening dedicated to one of the most revered analog consoles in modern recording. This unique event will allow engineers, producers, and audio professionals to get hands-on with the 5088 and learn about some new updates for 2025.

The 5088 builds on the lifelong philosophies of legendary gear designer Rupert Neve. Drawing inspiration from his iconic 80 Series consoles, the 5088 delivers legendary sonic character with custom high voltage, discrete op-amp cards, and custom transformers on every input and output. The resulting console provides extended headroom, dynamic range, and frequency response, and extremely low noise and distortion.

What’s New In 2025 For The Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Console

5053 Transformer-Gain Mic Pre & Inductor EQ: This new module for the console’s penthouse delivers a sonic character resembling Rupert Neve’s classic console designs. It features an additional custom RND transformer, which provides the first 15dB of mic pre gain into the input stage. The input section is now nearly identical to the best-selling Shelford Channel.

5022 Dual Mic Pre: This new penthouse module expands the number of available inputs by offering two Class-A, electronically balanced mic preamps. Each module features two variable high-pass filters and a dedicated variable Silk/Texture control for each input.

Stereo Input Channel: This module now includes direct outputs for both the left and right channels.

Mono Input Channel: Input functionality remains the same, but the labeling on each module has been updated to Tape, Line, and Line 2.

SwiftMix™ 2.0: All new 5088s are shipping with the latest version of Rupert Neve Designs’ moving fader automation system. The new system includes motorized, touch-sensitive, high-resolution faders available in mono or stereo configurations, support for up to 64 channels of automation, and updated software featuring a control plug-in that allows automation data to be stored within your DAW session.
