Neve 2254/R
This rackmount reissue (the “R” for “Recall”) brings the same core sound to a modern, user-friendly format while adding several workflow enhancements, including recall capabilities.
Key Technical Details:
- Preserves the signal path core: discrete, Class A with Marinair-spec transformers.
- Manual sweepable (continuously variable) attack time for limiter: from 2ms down to 100µs, providing far greater flexibility than classic fixed settings.
- USB connectivity enables total recall of unit settings via Neve software, ideal for hybrid and digital studios.
- Features a 19" rack-mount 1U chassis, “total bypass,” link capability for stereo or surround work, variable compressor and limiter controls as with legacy units.
Application:
Used to provide the authentic Neve coloration and response on any source—drums, vocals, full mixes—but with modern recall and improved workflow for current production environmentsRelease Date:
