Neve 88RS

Channel Strip
UAD / Universal Audio

The Neve 88RS is an authentic channel strip emulation of Neve's premiere 88 Series large-format analog console, featuring a transformer-based mic/line preamp, four-band Formant Spectrum EQ, and versatile dynamics processing. It captures the depth, airiness, and clarity of the original hardware with end-to-end circuit modeling, including input transformer behavior, impedance switching via Unison technology, and post-fader output amplifier coloration for tracking and mixing.

Available for:VSTAUAAX
