The Neve 8424 & 1073OPX Bundle provides your studio with extensive I/O and routing possibilities and ten 1073 mic preamps (8 in the 1073OPX and 2 built into the console). Use the 1073OPX’s remote controllability to control the preamps directly from the level encoders at the top of each channel.

8424 24-CHANNEL ANALOG CONSOLE

This 24-channel analog console has been designed to be the centerpiece of a hybrid studio and bring the feel of a large-format desk into a modern-day workflow.

The 8424 incorporates 60 years of Neve analog circuit design and revives the beloved 80 Series console sound. The desk’s set-up features a classic console master section in the middle with 16 input channels to the left side and eight additional channels on the right-hand side.

Each channel of the Neve 8424 features dual-channel inputs for 24 switchable channel inserts and up to 48 mono signals at once via a third channel strip input. The desk gets its signature Neve sound by using the classic Marinair transformers on Mix, AFL, and Cue bus.

Advanced, productivity-boosting design

Boasting a sleek, compact in-line design with dual-input channel strips that double your input count, the 8424 allows for seamless switching between recording and mixing inputs without the need for patching. Easy connectivity via 24 line-level inputs, two legendary Neve 1073 preamps (plus eight more in the included 1073OPX Octal 8-channel mic/line/DI preamp rackmount unit), and two instrument DI channels makes the 8424 the ideal console for artists to effortlessly record their instruments, while the desk’s dual cue mix system with talkback and return talkback functionality and dual headphone amplifiers accommodates multiple performers recording directly in the control room.

The authoritative Neve sound

Also featured on-board the Neve 8424 are two handcrafted 1073 preamps that meet the specs of the original design. The Neve 1073 is one of the most beloved mic pres in recording history and is known for its thick, warm, mid-forward presence and smooth top end. The 1073s can be hard patched to any channel of the 8424 console. Below each 1073 are DI inputs with Smart Routing.

For 500 Series fans, the 8424 features two open slots to incorporate any 500 Series modules that you may desire. These 500 Series modules can be routed to mono sub-group inserts, Stereo Master Inserts, the 1073 mic pres, and the two DI inputs.

Snapshot recall

Another way Neve is incorporating modern technology within the 8424 is the Recall Store System. Many engineers who have been around the studio for years will lament the process of recalling settings for a session on an analog desk. The 8424 features an internal Recall feature that allows engineers to save and load console settings, including switch selections, fader positions, and hard pots.

For classic console lovers and hybrid studio owners, the Neve 8424 will be the perfect addition to any recording or mixing facility. This console will act as an intuitive and versatile centerpiece that connects together your analog outboard gear and instruments to the digital world of your DAW and plug-in software.

1073OPX 8-CHANNEL MICROPHONE/LINE PREAMP

Launched in 1970, the 1073 soon became the mic preamp of choice for leading producers and engineers and has since become the world’s most desirable preamplifier. Designed and manufactured in England by AMS Neve to this day, it’s unique tonal quality, warmth, low-mid punch and subtle harmonic distortion gives studios of all sizes the most prestigious front-end for their recordings. The Neve 1073 OPX continues the 1073 pedigree, packing eight legendary preamps into a 2U rack unit. Front and rear connectors give comprehensive connectivity to any Studio/Live/Broadcast environment and modern remote-control software gives two-way control with Total Recall of all settings. Input sources benefit from the transformer-coupled input stage and can be connected directly to the front-mounted Mic/Line/DI input for recording in the studio control-room.
