Digital Music Production Console

Super High Denition Ultimate Audio PerformanceNeves Super High Denition converters give PCM Sample

Rates from 44.1kHz all the way up to a staggering 384kHz.

The legendary Neve sound has burst through the digital

gateway with unrivalled performance and precision. Whether

mixing in DXD or simply using the 384kHz sample rate as the

ultimate acquisition tool, gigabit linked Super High Denitionconverters are unbeatable.

Superior Audio MixingTechnology beyond the scope of any other system scales

DSP mix engines up to 1000 tracks at 96kHz. 40 bit oating

point processing delivers outstanding headroom, mixing with

a depth and breadth unrealisable on workstations. Precision

engineering ensures phase coherence through the ultimate

digital signal path.

Classic Mic Pre Amps

Legendary Neve 1081 mic pre-ampliers provide a classicwarm front end to the system. The mic racks can be remote

controlled from the console, making it possible to locate the

pre-ampliers close to the microphones in live areas for the

best possible SNR.

Simplicity and VersatilityEase of operation is central to 88Ds design. Conventional

channel strips with touch sensitive illuminated logicators are avery simple and direct method of control. A knob per function

centre panel aids sweet spot mixing. A small fader path and

a simple layer structure give easy access to large numbers

of channels.

The clearly laid out monitoring panel gives direct access to

multiple internal and external sources in any surround format.

The powerful automation system and ergonomic console

surface are totally enmeshed enabling control linking and

grouping in a uniquely mixer friendly style.

The totality of control makes the Neve 88D an incrediblypowerful and versatile console capable of handling multiple

sessions in multiple formats with different external equipment

and production requirements. And all with the unique Neve

Sound.

System Wide ControlIntegration through automation is key to efcient workow.

88D can import and combine mixes from Pro ToolsTM and

other Encore Plus systems. The 88D surface seamlessly

moves between conventional console and HUI controller for

workstations. Faders and logicators control DAW parameters,

the patented logicators give instant and elegant visual

feedback.

Scrolling Waveforms andHigh Resolution MeteringHi resolution TFTs give comprehensive visual feedback

allowing the mixer to see the desk at a glance. Meter scales

can be set to suit the mixers preference or the clients

requirements. Channel meters can show EQ and dynamics

as well as routing, level and small fader path level. Main

meter sections show internal and external surround sources,

stems, groups, auxiliaries and masters.

WavTrak gives the mixer direct visual feedback on audio ow,something editors have taken for granted for many years.

Each channel meter strip gives a real time display of incoming

audio. Scrolling waveforms and a now line combine perfectly

with the channel meters.

The next generation large format console.
