AMS Neve 8803 Dual Equalizer

The AMS Neve 8803 Dual Equalizer

gives you two channels of EQ taken from the flagship 88RS console and features DAW integration with software recall of settings on PC/Mac

Let's say you're all pre-amped up, but are in need of an equalizer that's equal to the task of matching your Neve 1081R or 4081 preamps. The AMS Neve 8803 Dual Equalizer delivers the distinctive sound of the flagship Neve 88RS console. Handmade and hand-wired as you've come to expect from Neve, it has two identical channels that are fully independent. Each channel features high- and low-pass filters and four bands of EQ. And, as you'd expect from the 88RS console, the 8803 Dual Equalizer's settings can be stored and recalled via USB using the Recall software. Plus, up to sixteen 88-series units may be connected to a Recall system simultaneously in any combination.

AMS Neve 8803 Dual Equalizer-Just the Facts:

AMS Neve 8803 Dual Equalizer-Under the Hood

The input section of the 8803 has an input trim control that lets you set the level of the input signal from -20dB to +20dB and can encompass signals from sources referenced to +4dBu or to -10dBV. There's also a front-panel signal-present LED (trigger level is -30dBu) and a clip LED that will light red to indicate that the signal is greater than 25dBu and there is danger of clipping occurring.

The signal level is monitored at three stages: input pre-trim; input post-trim; and Output. The LED is triggered by any one of these levels reaching greater than 25dBu.

The 8803's balanced inputs and ±20dB trim are followed by two 12dB-per-octave filters. The high-pass filter has a variable corner frequency from 30Hz 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.

Neve proprietary Recall software

For easy recall, just as you would expect on an 88RS console, the settings of the 8803 can be stored and recalled via the Neve Recall software on a PC or Mac. Neve's proprietary Recall software (Mac/PC-compatible) allows seamless integration with workstations, providing instantaneous recall of all external device settings. An essential tool for creativity, Recall combines the flexibility of a computer-based system with the power and sound quality of genuine Neve design. Plus, up to sixteen 8- series units may be connected to a Recall system simultaneously and in any combination.
