Robin Porter from AMS Neve talks with Vintage King's Mike Nehra to about the new Neve 2264ALB Limiter/Compressor.
Originally produced in the mid 1970s, the Neve 2264A (also known as 32264a) quickly earned its legend for hi-fi versatility, depth and transparency -- all with the signature Neve larger-than-life tone. By popular demand, Neve later packaged the identical circuitry plus an internal PSU into the standalone Neve 33609. Many consider the 2264A their "desert island" compressor - if you could only have one, the 2264A would be at your side. Neve is a company that has never stood still, so in 1974 they evolved the preceding 2254-type Compressor/Limiter into the much smaller 2264A form factor. Discrete, Class A/B design and transformer-coupled circuits used in the input, innovative bridge-driver design, side-chain and output stages ensured the 2264A's unique sound within the Neve lineage. Original 2264As command as much as $8000/pair on the open market. Decades after production stopped they remain one of the milestone pieces of studio equipment.
And now the 2264A is available for your LunchboxTM.
