The 8816 brings legendary Neve^® console sound to 19″ rack format. Using the same topology as the classic 80 Series console, with two Marinair^® transformers on the stereo bus output, the 8816 is the ultimate 16 channel rackmount Neve console.

Active Analogue Summing

The 8816 Summing Mixer performs like a mini Neve^® mixing console with an active summing design providing up to +15dB of gain boost for its 16 individual balanced inputs.

Neve Voltage Mixing

The 8816’s powerful mix bus topology uses voltage mixing through dual Marinair^® Transformers. This design was pioneered in the early Neve^® 80-series consoles and many revered engineers claim gave those classic recordings that golden, cherished sound. Voltage mixing drops the pre output level to around -80dBu, similar to microphone level, this is then boosed back through the output transformers to drive the final output stage.

Tracking Tools

Packed with Neve^® large-format console features, the 8816 is ideal for tracking in the studio. Independent cue sends from all 16 channels, multiple headphone connections & controls and a built-in talkback system, the 8816 is the complete recording package for the small studio.

Mixing Tools

The 8816’s enhanced summing features allows Producers to focus on the mix. Each channel has cut and solo switching options plus a dedicated rotary pan control with -3dB centre panning & S-Law shaping for accurate panning to the extremes.

Monitoring Tools

With the Neve^® console monitoring controls on the 8816, there is no need for a separate monitor controller for your studio. Dual balanced or unbalanced loudspeaker outputs can connect to two pairs of studio loudspeakers, with multiple monitoring sources to choose from, including 3.5mm mini-jack for external Iphone/Mp3 player monitoring.
