Neve 88R LB - 500-series mono mic preamp module

Neve 88RLB - 500-Series Mono Mic 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.

• 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
