AMS Neve Elements 88R EQ – Eight-Channel Analogue Equalizer

Bring Neve flagship console equalization into a compact rack system. The Elements 88R EQ provides eight channels of authentic 88R analogue circuitry with software control, combining hands-on studio routing with recallable settings for modern recording and mixing.

Each channel features a four-band semi-parametric equalizer. The high- and low-frequency bands switch between bell and shelving responses, while independently swept mid bands allow focused tonal adjustments.

Technical specifications

• Eight channels in a 2U, 19-inch rack enclosure.
• Dimensions (W × H × D): 483 × 89 × 361 mm.
• High band: 3.2–18 kHz, ±18 dB, bell or shelving.
• High-mid band: 1.25–10 kHz, ±18 dB.
• Low-mid band: 140 Hz–1.6 kHz, ±18 dB.
• Low band: 32–360 Hz, ±18 dB, bell or shelving.
• 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.
