AMS Neve Elements 1084 EQ – Eight-Channel Analogue Equalizer

The Neve Elements 1084 EQ puts eight channels of classic Neve inductor-based equalization under digital control. Shape tracks and stems with the three-band analogue circuitry associated with the 1084, then recall and automate the hardware settings from your session.

Classic 1084 tone shaping

Selectable high- and low-frequency shelves combine with a switchable-Q mid band and independent high-pass and low-pass filters. The modular Elements format makes it practical to add multichannel Neve processing to an existing studio or a growing 8424E system.

Technical specifications

• Eight channels in a 2U, 19-inch rack enclosure.
• Dimensions (W × H × D): 483 × 89 × 361 mm.
• Three-band inductor-based EQ.
• High shelf: 10, 12, or 16 kHz, ±16 dB.
• Low shelf: 35, 60, 110, or 220 Hz, ±16 dB.
• Mid band: 0.36, 0.7, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, or 7.2 kHz; ±12 dB or ±18 dB with switchable High Q.
• High-pass filter: 50, 80, 160, or 300 Hz; 18 dB/octave.
• Low-pass filter: 6, 8, 10, or 18 kHz; 18 dB/octave.
• 25-way D-sub line inputs and outputs, plus insert inputs and outputs.

Digital control of analogue hardware

Operate the physical analogue circuitry from the Neve Elements App for Windows and macOS or the Element Control Plugin in AAX, AU, or VST3 format. Session recall, DAW automation, processor grouping, snapshots, and a 64-step undo system support revisions across multichannel projects. Ethernet communication supports DHCP or manually assigned IP addresses.

Elements works independently with existing consoles, audio interfaces, and patch bays. An 8424E console is not required. Each unit includes an intelligent insert matrix for integrating other outboard processors and controlling insert position. Elements can also be integrated with the 8424E ecosystem.
