Neve® Preamp
-
The authentic Neve preamp sound, right at your fingertips.
The Neve mic preamp is an undisputed audio masterpiece, adding genuine Neve sheen, richness, and thick musical detail to any signal that passes through it. The pinnacle of Neve preamp design is the classic 1073® module with EQ, but Neve also briefly produced the 1290TM module — a rare, preamp-only version of the 1073.
Now, you can get the clarity, grit, and harmonically complex class‑A saturation of this amazing mic preamplifier in a simple two-knob plug-in that’s perfect for UA Audio Interface owners.Get the world’s only authentic plug-in emulation of the legendary class-A, Neve mic preamp
Record "through" the iconic Neve preamp in real time using UA Audio Interfaces, with low DSP use
Color your tracks with musical saturation and complex nonlinear circuit behaviors
Control UA Audio Interface mic preamp gain staging and impedance directly from the Neve Preamp plug-in via Unison™ technology

The Neve Preamp — Simplified
The Neve Preamp plug-in combines sonic attributes of both the 1073 and 1290 designs and provides all the bandwidth and attitude of Neve's original hardware, as heard on countless classic recordings. By thoroughly modeling the dual-stage "Red Knob" preamp and output amplifier with obsessive detail, the Neve Preamp plug-in replicates the sound and behavior of the original preamp with stunning accuracy.
Give Your Tracks the Sound of Your Favorite Albums
Like the original hardware, the Neve Preamp plug-in adds characteristic color and grit. Just drop it into the Unison slot of your UA Audio Interface’s Console software to add instant character to vocals and acoustic guitars, or treat synths, drums, and bass with the complex, dynamic clipping behavior that can only come from Neve.
Unison Technology for UA Audio Interfaces
Harnessing UA’s Unison technology, the Neve Preamp plug-in blurs the lines between analog and digital, giving you all of the legendary hardware’s impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and circuit behaviors. The secret is Unison’s bi-directional control and communication from the Neve Preamp plug-in to the digitally controlled mic preamps in UA Audio Interfaces.
Add Clarity and Color to Any Source
Of course, the Neve Preamp plug-in isn’t just for UA Audio Interface owners. UAD-2 hardware owners can employ the Neve Preamp plug-in for mixing and tone shaping — without ever leaving the box. Thanks to its lower DSP usage, you can easily place Neve Preamp plug-in instances across multiple channels, turning your favorite DAW into a classic Neve console.

Tried it out after reading other reviews!
I wasn’t sure I needed yet another preamp, but I read a review that mentioned the subtle differences between this and the pre amp stages on the full Neve channels. The difference was clear to my ageing and cynical ears and I’m now extremely pleased to have it as an option!

Great for that "Neve" mojo at a minimal DSP cost
I use these for individual channels. I then group things together according to their EQ needs and share EQ/Compression etc to fill out the sound. These are perfect for that!

Neve Preamp
Suono fantastico!!! Peccato che non sia ancora nativo, comunque usa poco processore UAD, ma se vuoi metterne tanti devi avere più processori. In ogni caso lo consiglio veramente!

I. Connelly
Great for Guitars
Great preamp for electric and acoustic guitars. Low DSP, which helps. Awesome for vocals too (of course); honestly my go to preamp since purchasing. Pair with 31102 for console bliss

E. Zavala
Great Plug-In
I could tell the difference immediately when used in the Unison spot. Such warmth and clarity and boost. Great buy.
D. Hetzel
Lovely neve sound
Great plugin. It gives the signal more depth and at the same time more fullness. Great is also the possibility to include it in unison. The use is very simple. Adjust input until it sounds good and then output back to desired volume.
