FS: Neve 8108 32x24 Console (Located in Pittsburgh)

[Preslav]

Vintage, 32X24 dual-path inline Neve 8108
recording console. The console features 28 channels of classic neve
preamps and 4 rare reverberation channels. Each channel has 4 mono
auxes, 1 stereo aux, and an extremely powerful EQ. All functions are
assignable to either the channel or monitor path. This console has 60
inputs available at mixdown, and a 24 channel internal routing matrix.
The routing system is controlled via the "X" processor card and this
console has a fully functioning membrane "cash-register" panel which
allows you to store 4 routing presets. This console has the VCA group
option, though it is not currently functioning.

This console has 3 stereo outputs and one mono output. Every channel
has 2 plasma meters, one showing level in dbVU and the other in ppm.

The Left side of the console features 5 - 56 point TT- patchbays
featuring all insert points, auxilliary and main outputs. Below, the
producer's desk has been modified to accomodate an additional 4 96 pt.
TT Patchbays, with ample desk space left for a DAW. The overbridge
has been modified to be flat to accommodate monitors, but the original
leather padded top is included in the auction.

This console has been serviced by Louis Benedetti of 81series.com. It was purchased from him in 2007 after he had refurbished it.



The preamps are tight AND thick. They are: mic amp EV10712 line amp EV10713
The EQ's are the best I've used, and
a favorite among engineers mixing metal. My favorite parts- Low EQ
100hz makes kick drums thump. rolled up to 300 (coupled with the high
pass filter at 100 or so) gives guitars huge bottom end.. Low mid
rolled all the way down to 200 is a perfect addition for thin snares
and 700 or so makes bass guitars get the paul mccartney pluck. Hi EQ
on shelf adds amazing brightness with out being shrill. or crank every
knob in the eq up for a seriously grainy distortion (which you can
then route to another channel and gain down...)

Anyways, this is an amazing sounding desk, every record we have made
on it has sounded great.

It is currently set up and available for inspection. Several modules are currently with Louis who is repairing them but they should be back within the next month or so. There are some minor repairs that could either be done by Louis in NJ or by your technician, but the console is session ready.
