8801 CHANNEL STRIP
NEVE 88 SERIES OUTBOARD RANGE
The Sound of the Legendary Neve 88R Console, Rackmounted.
The 8801 Channel Strip combines a classic Neve mic preamplifier and equalisation
circuitry with an incredible 88R-style dynamics processor. Completely hand-built and
hand-wired by Neve in Burnley, England, the 8801 delivers genuine Neve sound in a
convenient 1U rackmount design, with the convenience of full digital recall via USB.
This unit is ideal for combining with the 8803 Dual EQ, 8804 Fader Pack and 8816
Summing Mixer — building a powerful Neve rackmounted console, piece by piece.
The 8801’s signal path consists of our extremely high-quality Neve mic preamp,
genuine Neve hand-wound transformers, high and low pass filters, four bands of
equalisation, a compressor, gate, dynamics side chain and an insert point. The order
of the signal path can be easily modified as the producer requires, and the filter and
EQ section can be routed to its dynamics side chain for input signal processing.
An optional Neve-designed analogue-to-digital converter accommodates all standard
sample rates up to 192kHz, as well as direct-to-DSD conversion. Proprietary Recall
software (Mac- and PC-compatible) allows seamless integration with workstations.
