One of the World's Finest Audio Compressors, Bar None.

Hand-built to its original 1970’s specifications, the Neve 33609JD Stereo Compressor offers comprehensive limiting and compression facilities for music recording, mastering, post production and broadcast applications. The combination of hand-wired transformers and gain reduction circuitry produces a sound quality which is often duplicated, yet seldom achieved by any other compressor / limiter. Coupled with the unit’s unparalleled ease of use, this inimitable sound quality has made the 33609 a worldwide studio standard for three decades.

The hallmark 33609 compression sound is very smooth, and extreme settings may be used with the compression or limiting remaining relatively transparent. After several versions of this classic Neve compressor over the years, today's 33609JD provides the best of both worlds: original Neve 33609 sound, with enhanced internal and external I/O switching compared to the original model. The 33609JD also utilises a discrete output stage like the original model, for a slightly warmer sound that is preferred by many professionals over previous iterations. Multiple units can be easily linked for multi-channel operation.

Acclaimed 88 Series Equalization in a USB-compatible Rack Unit 

Part of the exclusive Neve 88 Series, the 8803 is a dual channel equalizer and filter. Like the other units in the 88 series collection, the 8803 is hand-made and hand-wired in Burnley, England, and delivers legendary Neve sound with digitally recallable settings via USB connection to Mac or PC. This is an outstanding tool for creative flexibility, allowing Neve’s legendary analogue processing to be used as never before in collaboration with computer workstations.

Designed to deliver the inimitable sound of the flagship Neve 88RS console, the 8803 Dual Equalizer’s circuitry is based on the classic Neve 8108 topology. Balanced inputs and ±20dB trim are followed by two 12dB per octave filters. The High-Pass Filter has a variable corner frequency from 25Hz to 300Hz, and the Low-Pass Filter has a range of 3kHz-15kHz. The four bands of equalization offer selectable shelving and switchable Q on the high and low bands, with continuously variable Q on the mid frequency bands. Frequency selection is variable on all bands within the ranges 33Hz-440Hz, 120Hz-2kHz, 0.8kHz-9kHz and 1.5kHz-18kHz.

The Bricasti Design Model 7 provides the highest level of musicality and ease of control imaginable in a processor dedicated to the task of reverberation. A modern high resolution digital design, utilizing a stunning array of the latest DSP processors, provides a platform for the long overdue next step in reverb processing algorithms. A separate fully differential analog section and dedicated transformer based linear power supply provide the finest analog specifications of any product of its kind. An exceptionally strong stainless steel chassis, and a tooled aluminum front panel, combine with a classic high visibility display and straight forward human interface, to complete an enduring design that is intended to fulfill its role, now and into the future.

The EQ-1NV (one channel equalizer) greatly modernizes the classic British “1081/1083”-type design. This “desktop” (and rackable) digitally controlled analog parametric EQ offers similar topology to vintage 1081/1083 models, but with welcome improvements. Newly designed Class-A discrete single-ended amplifiers and true inductor/capacitor (L/C) circuitry add greater clarity and dynamic range to the musicality of the vintage-era models. The EQ-1NV also has a unique discrete high-current Class-A balanced output stage.

The EQ-2NV (two channel equalizer) greatly modernizes the classic British “1081/1083”-type design. This single-rack-space digitally controlled analog parametric EQ offers similar topology to vintage 1081/1083 models, but with welcome improvements. Newly designed Class-A discrete single-ended amplifiers and true inductor/capacitor (L/C) circuitry add greater clarity and dynamic range to the musicality of the vintage-era models.

The simplicity of the dual-channel standalone DynaMaxx version also characterizes the new RackPack module: with just two controls, Compression and Make Up Gain, the DynaMaxx surprises with its disarmingly simple user interface. Our developer Vincenzo Triolo got a hard job to transfer the original circuits to the extremely compact module format, but he succeeded extremely well – controversies about the better version are still going on here.

Back in the 1990's, we developed an alternative way to process signals in order to reduce sibilance based on phase cancellation. Unlike the traditional compression methods, this processing is much more unobtrusive and simplifies control to one single parameter. The SPL De-Esser quickly became a standard reference among recording studios, broadcast stations and live sound engineers.
The new Dual-Band De-Esser module expands on this concept by making use of two frequency bands. Two de-esser stages increase the effectiveness of the processing without introducing any audible artifacts. At the same time, processing can be much more targeted, since the low and high bands can be used together or independently. Furthermore, input signals are automatically adjusted so the processing is uniform, regardless of the distance between source and microphone, and the Male/Female button allow it to perfectly adapt to male or female voices.

The TwinTube module is a tube effects processor to apply typical tube sound effects to any signal. Tube saturation can be regulated to add subtle to heavy tube distortions for more punch and rougher sounds. The Harmonics control enhances the presence of a signal and allows for example to move signals up front in a mix. In general, the top end can be sweetened with the nice touch of tube harmonics. Both effects can be used separately or simultaneously. Main studio and live applications are in single track processing.

Modular EQ modules are nothing new, but with the Ranger EQ modules we followed an entirely musical approach: center frequencies, amplitudes and bandwidths are not chosen from a technical view, but optimized for certain instruments.

The Full Ranger module is the necessary exception in this concept: with ISO frequencies to process the whole frequency range, the Full Ranger can be used as as a versatile addition to the specialized versions.

Musical optimization makes sense soundwise and allows to configure highly specialized EQ systems without having to decide for a final status – there is always the option to upgrade an existing package with another EQ module.
