$18,125.00 CAD

Description

This setup features two AMS Neve 1081 modules mounted horizontally in a 3U, 19" rack-mount unit, delivering the legendary sound and craftsmanship of one of the most iconic channel strips in recording history. Originally introduced in 1972 and featured in consoles like the revered Neve 8048, the 1081 combines a robust mic/line preamp with highly musical EQ and filtering capabilities. Known for its versatility and sonic richness, the 1081 remains a favorite among engineers and producers for tracking, mixing, and sound design.

Each 1081 module offers transformer-balanced microphone and line inputs, paired with precisely tuned high and low-pass filters, and a four-band EQ designed for creative tone shaping and surgical control alike. Built with the same components and construction methods as the originals, these modules retain the authentic analog warmth and clarity that has shaped countless hit records. Housed in a professional-grade rack, this dual 1081 setup is ideal for high-end studios or mobile rigs seeking vintage character with uncompromised performance and reliability.
