AMS Neve 88R LBEQ

The 88R LBEQ packs the acclaimed equalisation heritage of Neve’s flagship console designs into a compact, single-module 500-series format. Drawing on the revered circuitry of the 88RS analogue EQs, it delivers the musical precision, transparency, and control demanded by modern engineers and producers.

With ±20 dB of gain available on each of its four fully parametric bands, this 500-series EQ delivers exceptional tonal authority. From subtle shaping to dramatic boosts and cuts, it offers greater headroom and flexibility than most comparable modules, making it a powerful tool for precise and musical sound sculpting.

The four EQ bands are designed to overlap seamlessly across the frequency spectrum. Combined with variable Q control on each band, this allows narrow, surgical boosts or cuts to be used alongside wide, musical curves, providing complete flexibility for detailed tonal sculpting and characterful sound shaping.
