NEVE 8232

OWNERS STATEMENT

Neve 8232 / 32 inputs w/ mic pre; 4 band Neve Formant Spectrum eq; sweepable hi & low pass filters; 4 mono & 1 stereo aux busses; all functions are assignable to either the channel or mix path. There are mutes and solos on both paths. Routing to 24 mix busses as well as the quad mix buss. All outputs from the console are fed by the big and heavy torroidal transformers. This was a very expensive option from Neve; absolutely critical in the comparable sonic footprint ( big-ass bottom) of previous generations of Neve desks. Panning includes left / right and front / back on 2 pots. The mix buss can be used as front and rear stereo or as 2 stereo sub- masters feeding a single stereo master. Every buss on the console has balanced inserts for external processing. The 24 buss routing is done via an illuminated matrix from either below each fader or from the center section. These assignments are stored as templates for recall. I've never experienced any problem with the matrix; just change the memory battery every 3 years. Currently equipped with Flying Faders on all long- throw faders. Includes automation computer and interface. Additional modification allows for 32 extra line inputs to appear on the small (upper) faders during mixdown. This is not a stock option from Neve. Full tt patchbay on left hand side above the producer desk. I am willing to pull the automated faders and reinstall the P&G manual faders if requested. I will also include 2 spare card cages full of cards. Console is in fantastic working order and available for live demo in Florida. You can actually come hear what you're buying!
