Description

The Neve 88R LBEQ captures the character and precision of the renowned 88RS console in a single-slot 500-series module. Designed and built in England, this unit delivers the same sonic clarity, musical response, and tonal control found in Neve’s flagship large-format consoles. It brings studio-trusted equalisation to modular workflows, offering flexibility for a wide range of mixing and production styles.

This fully parametric EQ includes four independent bands, each with ±20 dB of gain, overlapping frequency ranges, and variable Q. From shaping low-end impact to refining high-frequency detail, the 88R LBEQ provides accurate and musical tone shaping. Switchable bell and shelf modes, including resonant shelving, allow for detailed adjustments across the spectrum. The true bypass feature supports easy comparison of processed and unprocessed signals. The 88R LBEQ functions effectively on its own or as part of a modular Neve signal chain with matching preamp and compressor modules.
