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.
