Overview
88R DYN
Bring the Sound of the Flagship 88R Console to Your Studio
The 88R DYN carries the dynamics circuitry of the premier 88R console, bringing the sound quality trusted by the world’s most iconic recording facilities. With a VCA/ compressor/ limiter/ gate expander, and eight channels of precise transient shaping, the 88R DYN ensures ultimate sonic excellence.
88R Console Sound
The 88R DYN brings the flagship sound of the definitive 88R console to your studio. Trusted by premier recording facilities globally, the 88R provides unmatched analogue sound quality.
Complete Digital Control
The dedicated Neve Elements App puts complete digital control of the 88R DYN at your fingertips, independently of your DAW. Grow out of the box into Neve 88R analogue circuitry – with no emulation of the sound.
DAW Based Automation
Control the 88R DYN through the DAW via the Element Control Plugin, with complete recall of every setting and instant reset of all parameters. Available for every DAW via AAX, AU or VST3 formats.
Instant Reset
Store and recall your entire Elements system using snapshots, with archiving to your computer or offline storage. A multi-step undo function lets you revert control changes with ease, making mix revisions straightforward.
Control Grouping
Link any number of Element processors of the same type into control groups, giving you complete, coordinated control over large groups of instruments.
Intelligent Insert Matrix
The 1084 EQ includes an insert send and return connection with digital control matrix over insert signal flow positioning.
Powerful Transient Control
The 88R DYN provides immense flexibility and precise transient control, allowing a wide range of compression settings to suit any mix. With fully variable ratio controls ranging from 1:1 through to full limiting, it offers everything from smooth, subtle compression to absolute brick-wall limiting.
Auto Makeup Gain
Auto Make-Up Gain automatically compensates for gain reduction at the compressor’s output. This intuitive feature saves you valuable studio time and streamlines compression into a simple, one-knob workflow.
Group Compression Capability
The 88R DYN carries forward the 88R console’s renowned VCA bus linking capability. This lets you compress instrument groups together and fine-tune each source individually, delivering natural, organic, console-grade compression.
Gate/ Expander
Control the entire dynamic range of any signal by adding the independent gate/expander.
