Classic Neve Console Specifications (Story #9)


Well, hardly had the hard disk stopped spinning from my last Neve Console Description List than I hear of another old Neve up for sale . . . another 8028 !
This time the "8028" turns out to be 24 channels of 1073 and 8 busses...which anyone reading my previous contribution will know must be a 80*6 series. This may not seem a big deal, but if consoles are incorrectly specified by brokers or whoever then prospective purchasers are going to be confused when trying to establish a correct market price for the beast.
If in doubt the consoles ought to be called "Classic Custom 80 series" or whatever.
No one would label a Ford Pinto as a Ford Mustang and the same rule has to apply with consoles. To really clarify things I’ve listed below the definitive list of Neve console types, please feel free to call me if further clarification or info on your console is required!
