A Deeper Look At Rupert Neve Design's History

Rupert’s iconic recording equipment hardly needs an introduction; the 1073 is often considered the best sounding mic preamp of all time, while the 80 Series consoles are beloved by top-level engineers the world over. Now based in Texas, Rupert is back to offer new outboard units and consoles that blaze new trails while improving upon the classic transformer-based, all-discrete tone that is a hallmark of Rupert’s pieces.
Offerings like the 551 EQ and the Shelford Channel hark back to vintage sounds, while elements like the Silk feature allow users to dial in harmonic content, bringing even more vibe to your recordings. The Portico series of channels has already garnered praise from engineers both big and small, making it clear that Rupert still has a magic touch when it comes to gear design.
When engineers hear Rupert’s name, the thought of rich, smooth tone imparted by transformers and inductors comes to mind, a trait that RND continues to bring to the table. With custom-wound transformers, diode bridge compression, and controls to dial in saturation, these pieces clearly bring the best of Rupert’s classic sounds back, now with an even larger tonal palette featuring amenities not found on vintage favorites. Mixing modern features like Silk texture controls with quintessential Class A sounds, each product blends the sonic possibilities of old favorites with new, unique designs. Simply put, RND units capture sounds in a euphonic way, feeling polished and complex from first use.
With the release of the 5088 console, Rupert Neve Designs has solidified its place in the modern recording industry; the consoles are found in some of the biggest studios in Los Angeles, Nashville, and beyond. Engineers of yesterday and today alike will recognize the iconic tone offered by these units. The forward-thinking features on each Rupert Neve Designs piece will inspire you to create previously unimaginable sounds. Rupert Neve may have established himself as a master of gear design decades ago, but his work today shows that he continues to be at the top of his game.

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
