88M USB Audio Interface

The Neve 88M packs a ton of utility into its rugged compact chassis. The inclusion of ADAT optical I/O gives you eight channels of digital connectivity, bringing you potential channel counts of up to 10 in and 10 out, all while two sets of balanced inserts expand your analog connectivity. USB 3.0 protocol provides speedy transfer rates while future-proofing your investment. So, yes — the 88M is very well appointed for its compact form factor. But it’s under the bonnet where Neve’s superior engineering works its magic. Designed and built in England, the 88M features purist circuit paths that strictly utilize premium analog and digital componentry, such as Neve’s universally lauded Marinair transformers, which assist in delivering the classic Neve sound.

Neve consoles wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification. When even your inexpensive dynamics take on new sonic authority through the 88M, you’ll start to see the contents of your mic locker in a whole new light. The fact that it can handle and finesse all of your sources — like dynamic, condenser, or ribbon mics; instruments; or line-level signals, for example — makes the 88M invaluable for today’s DAW-based studio workflows. The 88M’s DI circuitry makes electric basses and guitars sound like they’re plugged into a great amp. Keyboards and synthesizers soar and growl with crystalline transparency. Acoustic instruments with pickups shine with authentic tone and dimensionality. Whatever you pass through the Neve 88M, you can be assured it will sound its best.
