Neve 88M Audio Interface

Utilising the same transformer-balanced technology found in Neve’s top-of-the-line Neve 88RS console, the Neve 88M delivers the iconic sound of AIR, Abbey Road, and Capitol Studios right into your home or portable studio setup.

Neve 88M Audio Interface

The Neve 88M uses the same microphone preamplifier as the world-renowned 88R console. The 88 Marinair transformer-coupled preamp, used on countless top-ten singles and film scores, is a proven design that delivers analogue punch and clarity to all signal sources.

The Neve 88M’s microphone, line, and DI analogue inputs are fed through the Marinair transformer, ensuring that all microphone and instrument inputs benefit from the legendary Neve preamp sound.

For more extensive recording sessions, the Neve 88M offers ample audio inputs – two analogue inputs via the onboard preamps, combined with eight digital inputs via ADAT optical connection, allowing for tracking up to ten signals. Additionally, there are ten available outputs, including two analogue monitor sends and eight digital outputs via ADAT optical connection, ideal for expanded monitoring, additional performer cue sends, or connecting to various analogue units.

The Neve 88M features two dedicated TRS outputs for your studio monitors, precisely controlled by the 88RS-style monitor pot with a centre detent set to -12dB below maximum for the ideal studio listening level.

The Neve 88M’s headphone amplifier provides ample headroom for professional headphones, with independent level control and a front-mounted TRS connection.

Both preamp channels of the Neve 88M include a balanced insert send & return loop, ideal for connecting analogue outboard processing into your recording chain. Each insert send is always active, allowing for signal splitting and providing an analogue output for each preamp before the A/D converter.

Like its predecessor – the two-ton 88RS console, the Neve 88M is built to last. Housed in a high-grade, robust shell, the 88M is the ideal interface for taking on the road.

The Neve 88M employs premium AD/DA conversion chips to deliver ultimate fidelity for all outgoing and incoming audio signals. With the Neve 88M in your home studio arsenal, you can trust your converters, knowing that the recorded sound is as pure as the sound in the studio.

Several built-in and easy-to-use monitoring options are available on the Neve 88M, providing latency-free monitoring for mono and stereo signal sources. Ideal for playback, tracking, and overdubbing.

The Neve 88M is designed for plug-and-play connectivity, drawing power directly from the USB 3.0 connection. This class-compliant audio interface can be connected quickly to any laptop, ready to record music in minutes.
