a transistor preamp with a very military look :)

half-2u rack with 4 pre-amp without EQ and no jack input :/

See manufacturer website for the connection, very complete in any case exept the absence of input jack 6'35.
Otherwise it is very complete and very "fun".

the possibility of adding the famous card Option Digital FW / AES I return it below ;)

it is of course possible to the Racker 4081 but it takes roughly 90 to 100 € for neve corner braces :/

UTILIZATION

NOTHING MORE EASY (for the use of the digital preamps no card)

Each preamp has a gain control (+20 dBu to +70 dBu), a LED signal presence and an LED clipping.

brief a large specific button neve and roll youth :)

I expect delivery of my card Digital FW / AES to use my two 4081 audio interface. No longer have to go through the converter my motu. I will return to the installation of all this ...

SOUND QUALITY

This is where I took a big slap.

It is sharp, bright and airy ... terribly for having a neve 1073 format 500 well 2555euro for 4xpreamplis of this quality I tell you to rush ...

I initially purchased a package and when I had a kick, a snare and two toms in, I sold my presto universal audio 4-710 and I left on a second machine to have neve 8 preamp ...
On guitars or even voice is a treat, easy to slip into the mix ...

We can linker, several, FireWire, which allows, with a simple laptop, nomadic, some w / little space to have an incredible result.
The 4081 has a real energy, it carves sound, has an incredible punch, and the A / D conversion is up to 384 kHz DXD can work if you want. More D / A converters, which allows you to insert devices, use the conversion independently, is very interesting too.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a lot of preamp for me neve is above all that I had the chance to test (this is a subjective opinion, but this is mine with my ears)

the price / quality ratio is just fabulous (4 neve preamp of this quality for 2500euro)

care is not as sub neve could SSL with alpha channel XLogic there is a product at the top ...
