Neve introduces the 88C, a compact VCA compressor that brings the dynamics section from their flagship 88R console to a desktop format. The unit offers two channels of compression in a small enclosure, making it the perfect companion to the 88M audio interface while also functioning as a standalone dynamics unit powered via USB.
Key Features of the Neve 88C
- Dual VCA Compressor: Two compression channels based on the dynamics section of the 88R console, renowned for its musical and smooth compression.
- Full Parameter Control: Each channel features Threshold, Makeup Gain, Ratio, and Release controls, with the option to operate in stereo or dual-mono mode.
- Adaptive Attack: Adaptive Attack Technology automatically adjusts attack time to incoming signal transients, with a dedicated Fast Attack switch for quicker response.
- Side-Chain Filters: Three side-chain filters allow precise tuning of the compressor’s response to the processed material.
- Anti-Breath Technology: Prevents unwanted artifacts caused by sudden level drops.
- True Bypass: Enables easy A/B comparisons of the signal with and without compression.
At The NAMM Show 2025, held from January 21–25, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, Neve unveiled the 88C as the latest addition to their product line. This event provided an opportunity for Neve to showcase cutting-edge solutions to a wide audience of audio professionals.
