There was a period when the owner of SAE Schools also owned AMS-Neve and he used his access to the Neve design and resources to create the Custom 75 console. This one is located in our Los Angeles showroom and is almost done being ServicedByFredo. Ongoing parts and support are available from The Desk Doctor in Burbank, CA, who is the current manufacturer of Custom 75. As always, we stand behind this sale and will support the new owner to the best of our ability.

This console is an excellent sidecar or smaller footprint, premium mixer for the modern studio. With eight mic pres, eight EQ, and 32 inputs for analog mixing, this mixer is more than enough for the modern studio that already has a complement of outboard mic pres.

• Custom Series 75 – like a vintage Neve on steroids
• The classic Neve circuitry has been painstakingly re-created, keeping faithful to the original whilst taking advantage of modern assembly methods. The original circuits have only been changed where justified by an improvement in reliability or performance
• The voltage summing busses are a mere 150mm long and they are balanced, resulting in lower noise and less crosstalk
• BA338 amplifying stages and legendary BA283 output stages combined with classic Neve LO1166 output transformers
• Stereo busses are implemented in both classic (voltage summing) and modern (current summing) technology and the feed to these can be selected on a per-channel basis. The 2 busses are combined at the master fader
• (patchable) 2254 compressors option added
• There are both modern (transformerless) and classic (transformer) outputs, providing maximum flexibility of sonic “flavour
• The eight Group outputs use classic circuitry, with the added bonus of Stem outputs, inserts and 8 dedicated faders to feed groups or playback to the stereo busses.
• This 8- channel console can mix a total of 32 inputs to stereo mix
• The 2081 inline channel module features a blend of the best features of Neve’s legendary 1073 and 1081 modules. The mic preamp and 4 band EQ is straight from the 1081, while the output amp is based on the 1970”²s BA283, single ended, class A circuitry with a gapped core transformer, as used in the 1073
• Five auxiliary sends, fader swap and a choice of either classic or modern channel output circuitry are provided.
• Master SectionTwo 2254 compressors, four stereo reverb returns
