    8424

    Connect. Compose. Create.

    The 8424 console’s slick design fits the needs of the modern hybrid studio, featuring multi-DAW automation & unparalleled connectivity to your favourite outboard gear. Supreme sound quality is ensured by combining modern and vintage Neve topology, including voltage mixing through Marinair® transformers, made famous in the early 80-series consoles.

    Legendary Analogue Sound

    Voltage Mixing

    The 8424’s unique mix bus uses voltage mixing through Marinair® transformers. This topology uses the best characteristics from the vintage Neve® 80-series consoles to provide a unique sonic signature unmatched by modern studio consoles.

    Modern Neve® Topology

    The 8424 channel topology is evolved from the modern Neve® Genesys and 88R console range, providing a wide bandwidth, transparent platform with perfect stereo imaging. This design allows you to add colour where needed at your discretion via inserts or through the Marinair® transformer-coupled mix bus.

    1073® Recording Inputs

    The centre section features two independent 1073® preamplifiers with standalone I/O and smart routing, ideal overdubbing tools.

    Class A DI's

    Two instrument DI’s with under-armrest connection, class-A circuitry and smart routing are perfect for instrument recording from the console surface.

    500 Series Slots

    Two VPR alliance specification 500 series slots are mounted into the centre of the console. These slots can be dynamically routed to several locations on the console via smart routing switches and can be added as mix bus inserts, group inserts or 1073/DI recording inserts.

    Mix Bus Processing

    Unique to studio consoles, the 8424 features built-in master bus EQ and stereo width enhancement. These processors, coupled with stereo insert, mix bus inject feature and 500 series smart routing, provide powerful tools for mixing or mastering.

    Pro Creative Tools

    Dual Input Channel Strip

    Independent inputs via D-Type and TRS allow you to simultaneously connect 24 DAW returns and 24 recording inputs into the console.

    Digitally Controlled Trim

    Stepped trim encoders provide total accuracy of incoming and outgoing analogue audio signals.

    24 Direct Outputs

    The 8424 is a fully customisable recording platform; each channel is available for tracking via its digitally controlled direct output.

    Aux & Cue Sends

    The stereo Marinair® transformer balanced cue send and three mono aux sends are ideal for routing signals to outboard FX and performer cue mixes.

    Balanced Inserts

    Each channel has a switchable, balanced, +4dBu insert with send and return TRS connections. This design allows for a patch-bay-free connection using existing studio cabling.

    Large Format Features

    Three Stereo Loudspeakers

    Three loudspeaker outputs, each with trim calibration, allow for connection to three stereo loudspeaker sets. The console monitor control pot has 85dB SPL calibration, independent dim control, and mono summing provides total control over your studio monitoring system.

    Dual Headphone System

    Dual-headphone outputs, with independent mix sources, are mounted under the armrest, giving the Artist and Producer the convenience of working together at the console surface.

    PPM & VU Metering

    All 24 channels use 8-stage post-insert LED metering, ideal for metering all incoming signals and the large, backlit VU meters mounted in the centre of the console can be assigned to any mix output.

    Four Mono Groups

    The console’s four mono groups each have EQ, variable point balanced insert, routing matrix and pre/post-fade direct output – perfect for stem mixing or balancing instrument groups.

    Dual Reverb Returns

    The centre section features dual reverb returns with independent routing, solo options, and cue send, ideal for connecting analogue FX units or additional stereo line inputs.

    Three-Way Talkback

    The console features a built-in three-way talkback/return talkback system for communication between artist, engineer & producer, with creative options for demanding sessions.

    Digital Control Technology

    Onboard Recall System

    Every setting on the 8424 console can be recalled via the embedded recall system. Console routing, soft switches, and motorised faders are automatically recalled at the push of a button.

    Smart Routing

    The intelligent switching options within the 8424 console make complex routing decisions simple. With single-button pushes, the 1073’s, DI’s, & 500 series slots can be dynamically routed to multiple locations depending on your current session workflow.

    Offline Stores

    The 8424 apps offline store feature communicates with the consoles internal storage, utilising the DAW computer for archiving, renaming, and loading console recall store files.

    Customisable Recording Platform

    Add up to three 1073OPX units to the console or any combination of external preamplifiers to create a custom recording platform built to your studio’s requirements.

    OPX Linking

    Remotely control up to three 1073OPX units from the console surface as if they were fully integrated preamps, with a digital display of all gain levels and input types.

    Zero Faders

    The motorised fader option includes a zero fader option, allowing the analogue levels to be restored to an absolute zero position at any point in a session.

    Modern DAW Automation

    Motorised Faders

    The self-calibrating motorised faders transform the 8424 console into a fully-fledged DAW controller for complete in-the-box control.

    Multi-Layer Control

    Flip between analogue level control and DAW level control at the push of a button using highly accurate fader control technology.

    Multi-DAW Workstation

    Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo or Ableton can be controlled at the push of a button, allowing for an uninterrupted studio workflow.

    Transport & Automation

    The transport and automation controls are always active, allowing for total control of the DAW timeline in any console mode.

    DAW VPOT Control

    The consoles 24 trim controllers can control DAW pans, aux sends, and plugin controls in DAW mode, giving complete, ergonomic control over software parameters.

    Active Fader Mode

    This final mixdown feature transposes the positions of the DAW faders, onto the analogue layer of the console, giving post-processing, flying-fader style analogue automation controlled from the DAW.
