THE "CORE OF THE STUDIO"

CONSOLE NEVE V3 Inline 48ch Frame

  • 48 transformer-balanced inputs with discrete-component Mic/Line Preamps, renowned for their high headroom and ability to handle complex transients.

  • Equalizer (4-Band Parametric):

  • High & Low: Switchable between Peak and Shelf.

  • Mid-High & Mid-Low: Fully parametric with “Q” control.

  • Filters: Independent high-pass (HPF) and low-pass (LPF) filters with variable slope.

  • Dynamic Section:

  • Compressor/Limiter: Variable Ratio, Threshold, and Release.

  • Gate/Expander: Essential for cleaning up drum and percussion tracks in real time.

  • Link: Ability to link dynamics between adjacent channels for coherent stereo imaging.

  • Routing e Monitoring

  • Small Fader / Large Fader: In-line architecture that allows simultaneous control of the incoming signal (monitor) and the return from the DAW or tape.

  • Aux Sends: Typically 8 configurable auxiliary sends, set pre- or post-fader for effect sends or headphone sends (cues).

  • Bussing: 24- or 48-bus assignment matrix for routing to recorders, or adjustable Direct Out for direct assignment, allowing fine-tuning of the signal sent to the DAW input or tape.

  • Master Section (Center Section)

  • Monitor Selection: Control for multiple pairs of speakers (Main, Nearfield, Mini).

  • Talkback: Integrated communication system between the live room and the studio.

  • Master Fader: High-quality stereo bus with dedicated insert.

  • Automation:

  • SYSTEM: Originally equipped with a Necam system, later adapted with UPTOWN 990 automation.

  • FUNCTIONS: 32-channel fader and mute automation, synchronized via SMPTE, on 48 channels.

  • Patchbay: Integrated Bantam/TT patch system and tie lines reaching all rooms and outboard equipment via Klotz cabling.

  • Technical Highlights

  • Frequency Response: Often exceeding 20 Hz–20 kHz ±0.5 dB.

  • Headroom: +26 dBu on balanced outputs.

  • Distortion (THD): Typically less than 0.005% at +20 dBu.
