The Neve 8078 was the last of the "80 series" hand-wired analogue mixing consoles designed and manufactured by Neve Electronics for high-end Recording studios during the 1970s. Some were custom built for major studios like CBS Sony.
These consoles are considered by many experts to be the Rolls Royce of desks and are highly sought after. The Classic Neve sound has featured on countless hit records by artists including Steely Dan, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Quincy Jones, George Clinton, Chick Corea.
Each console took several months to build using over 2,500 hours of highly skilled labour and top quality components. It would now be uneconomic to manufacture such equipment to this standard.
