8803 Dual Channel Equaliser

Acclaimed 88 Series Equalisation in a USB-compatible Rack Unit

Part of the exclusive Neve 88 Series, the 8803 is a dual channel equaliser and filter. Like the other units in the 88 series collection, the 8803 is hand-made and hand-wired in Burnley, England, and delivers legendary Neve sound with digitally recallable settings via USB connection to Mac or PC. This is an outstanding tool for creative flexibility, allowing Neve’s legendary analogue processing to be used as never before in collaboration with computer workstations.

Designed to deliver the inimitable sound of the flagship Neve 88RS console, the 8803 Dual Equaliser’s circuitry is based on the classic Neve 8108 topology. Balanced Inputs and +/- 20dB trim are followed by two 12dB per octave filters. The High-Pass Filter has a variable corner frequency from 25Hz to 300Hz, and the Low-Pass Filter has a range of 3kHz to 15kHz. The four bands of equalisation offer selectable shelving and switchable Q on both of the high and low bands, with continuously variable Q on the mid frequency bands. Frequency selection is variable on all bands within the ranges of 33Hz to 440Hz, 120Hz to 2kHz, 0.8kHz to 9kHz and 1.5kHz to 18kHz.

For modern producers and engineers looking to shape and develop sounds with unrivalled sonic purity and musicality, the 8803 Dual Channel Equaliser is the preeminent choice.
