Neve preps trio of gear for NAMM, including preamp, EQ

Neve is dropping three serious pieces of gear at NAMM 2026 for April release, including a dual preamp interface and high-end converter.

Neve unveils three major products at NAMM show

• Neve is hitting the ground running in 2026 with a trio of fresh releases for their NAMM booth, and they are certainly not holding back on the specs.
• The lineup features a dual-channel preamp interface, a 500-series module, and a high-end converter system that looks ready for broadcast or studio work.
• April 2026 is the target for all three items to hit the shelves, so you have some time to save up that cash.

The dual preamp combines classic sound and USB

• This new 1073DPX-D is basically the 1073DPX you know, but with the digital connectivity of the 1073SPX-D stuffed inside.
• You get the legendary Neve sound plus 192kHz and 24-bit conversion, and it handles everything via USB or ADAT for easy tracking.
• It fits two channel strips into a 2U rack format, and they threw in a new transformer-balanced DI for Marinair harmonics on instruments.
• Gain is managed by a stepped Elma switch, and the three-band EQ includes some smooth shelves and a mid peak.
• Pricing sits at £3930 including VAT, which buys you class-compliant USB plug-and-play, along with a powerful headphone amp.

Flagship console EQ comes to 500 series format

• Fans of the 88R console can now grab its four-band parametric EQ section as a single-slot module called the 88R LBEQ.
• It is designed to pair with the 88R LB and LBC modules if you want to build a legit 88RS signal chain in your chassis.
• You get true console flexibility with adjustable Q and +/- 20 dB gain per band, and the price is set at £954 including VAT.

Mastering grade converter adds Dante support

• The StarNet ADA24 is a beastly 24x24 AD/DA unit aimed at heavy-duty post-production and live sound setups.
• It features primary and secondary Dante ports, word clock I/O, and TASCAM standard DB25 connectors for analogue lines.
• Dynamic range is impressive at over 119 dBFS for the ADC, and the unit supports selectable analogue headroom up to +26 dBu.
• This rack unit costs £3954, including VAT, and includes an external PSU to keep the noise floor super low.
