Background
[
edit
]
Neve Electronics
was a British manufacturer of
mixing consoles
that originated in the work of
Rupert Neve
in the 1960s. Neve analogue consoles have been considered to be of such high quality that many of twenty or thirty years of age are still in use today at
recording studios
around the world—even as
digital audio
has taken over many aspects of recording technology. Studios with Neve equipment are often sought out by musicians. Models such as the '1073' and '1081'
microphone preamps
are still among the most popular and expensive in the recording world.
Neve was the first company to develop
computer-controlled moving fader automation
, NECAM, in the mid-1970s.
In 1985 Neve Electronics was acquired by the
Siemens
group; in 1992 the
Siemens
group combined Neve Electronics with another newly acquired company,
Advanced Music Systems
to form AMS Neve. Today, the company produces both digital and analogue systems, marketing digital products under the
AMS Neve
brand, and analogue products under the
Neve
brand.
