NEEEV

NOY-mehn

NOY-trik

LAH-vree (AH as in "bad" not "father")

And one that I was recently corrected on (which was actually quite embarrasing as there's one in the rack here - And of course, it was the owner of the company who corrected me on it :oops: ) -

EYE-biss (not IH-biss)

Noy-trick?

That one I didn't know.

I pronounced Neve like Neve Cambell for a long time. Seems like when you search Neve on ebay you get about 20 Neve Cambell related items for every 1 Rupert Neve related item.

Call the company(s) directly, listen to how they pronounce it, and hang up... haha.

the most realistic pronunciation would be:

neh-veh, as in never, use a boston accent.

and iZ radar, the digital recording company, they prefer it if you call it "izzz", as opposed to "eye zee".
