Neve consoles info/history?

[Mattsson]

Hello!

Just wonder if anyone knows about a good site (or other source) that explains the history of Neve desks, describes the difference between the different models (8028, 8068, etc)?

Would be an intresting read...
...

Cheers,

Hi

Go to the Neve section of my web site. You'll find a list of all the console types and some useful tales in the stories page.

Hi

But take with a big pinch of salt....

EG

8028

32-16 LARGE MUSIC CONSOLE WITH 1081 CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS, ALSO AVAILABLE WITH 1073/1074 CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS, 1272/1271 LINE AMPLIFIERS, AND SOMETIMES IN THE PENTHOUSE 2254 COMP/LIMITERS BUSSING MODULES WERE EITHER 1903/B 1904/A AND MODULAR MONITOR SECTION FITTED 1915 SERIES MODULES

An 8028 is a 24 channel 16 bus console fitted with 8.75" channel amps (1073/1084) rather than the 12" modules (1064/1081) referred to above.

It has 1903 bus assign modules, 1906 Aux assign modules, and 1272 bus amps.
Also provision for 4 x 2254 Lim Comps.

The Monitor section was not modular, it used three large 8 track monitor matrix panels.

If it had 32 channels and 12 " modules it's either an 8038 or 48, or one of countless custom music consoles starting with A599 Decca Paris.

That description is several different custom consoles lumped together. 70% of Neve's production was custom and the 80** code system doesn't really apply.

I ought to know... I was there Oct '71 to Dec '85!
