2022 NAMM Show: Neve unveils the 88M USB Audio interface
At the 2022 NAMM Show, Neve unveils the 88M USB audio interface, promising flagship console sound for your DAW. Neve is the latest high-end console manufacturer to get into the desktop audio interface game with the launch of the 88M.
Promising the same mic preamp as you’ll find in the classic 88RS console – as used in the likes of AIR, Abbey Road and Capitol Studios – this 10-in/10-out device also has transformer-coupled inputs, meaning that your vocals and instruments should all benefit from the classic Neve preamp sound.
In addition, there is a pair of TRS outputs for your studio monitors – controlled from a dedicated monitor pot – and a professional headphone amp, while both preamp channels feature a balanced insert send and return loop. Premium AD/DA conversion and latency-free monitoring are also on the table.
Although the 88M is much smaller than the 88RS console, the 88M promises a similarly high level of build quality. It can be bus-powered over USB 3.0.
The 88M looks set to cost £1,079/€1,249 and will be available soon.
