AMS Neve 88RLB 500 Series Mono Preamp Module
The Neve 88RLB is a 500-Series mic preamp built on the technology from Neve’s two-ton flagship 88RS console. With extra features like the REGenerate function, a sweepable high-pass filter, intelligent phantom power control and a DI input, true Neve magic has never been more accessible or convenient.
Features
- True Neve 88RS mic preamp in a 500-series format, with transformer-coupled Mic input, electronically balanced Line and DI inputs and Line output
- REGeneration feature allows Line and DI inputs to be fed through the Mic input transformer to inject the legendary Neve sound
- Sweepable high pass filter can be switched in or out
- Intelligent 48v phantom power function
- -20dB pad and phase reversal features for Mic, Line & DI inputs
- Signal Presence LED illuminates green from a level of -25dB and red from a level of +26dB
- Front combi-XLR connector for Mic input (XLR) and Line & DI inputs (1/4” TRS jack – LIFT switch eliminates potential ground loops when using unbalanced jack connectors in the front input
