UAD Neve 1084

The engine powering a handful of rare Neve 80 series consoles, the Neve 1084 channel amplifier and EQ is a lusted-after audio masterpiece. Its class-A preamp offers signature Neve clarity and character, while its colorful palette of EQ options take it several steps beyond the famed 1073.

Exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces, the Neve 1084 Preamp & EQ plug-in impeccably emulates the luxurious analog character, warmth, and extended colors of this flagship 1970s British channel module:

• Get the world's only authentic plug-in emulation of the classic Neve 1084 channel amplifier and EQ.
• Harness extended EQ options on vocals, drums, synths, guitars, and more.
• Texture and EQ your mix with classic Neve tone, including all 10 clipping points from the vintage '70s‑era hardware.
• Inject "air" or notch out offending frequencies with EQ curves beyond the 1073.
• Get the full character of the original hardware's class-A, dual-stage mic preamp with Unison technology.
• Mix with artist presets from Darrell Thorp (Beck, Radiohead) Jimmy Douglass (Pharrell, Timbaland) Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck), and more.

Step Up to a 1084

Not long after the release of the venerable Neve 1073 channel amplifier in 1970, Neve introduced the 1084 — an "upsell" module that featured the same class-A mic/line preamp as the 1073, with the addition of three switchable EQ bands and narrow or wide Q settings. This potent combination offered producers a rainbow of colors, textures, and precision.

The Only End-to-End Neve 1084 Circuit Emulation

The UAD Neve 1084 Preamp & EQ plug-in gives you all the features, unique circuit behaviors, and coveted warmth of Neve's original analog design by thoroughly modeling the dual-stage class‑A "Red Knob" preamp, post-fader output amplifier, and musical EQ filters.

Unison Technology for Apollo Interfaces

Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the Neve 1084 plug-in captures the hardware's mic preamp impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and circuit behaviors, giving you all the sheen and punch of the original Neve module — with bi-directional control of your Apollo interface's mic preamps.

High-End Heaven

The Neve 1084 Preamp and EQ plug-in expertly captures the vintage hardware's EQ, letting you easily add shimmer and air to vocals, acoustic guitars, drums and synths with the three selectable high band filters (10, 12, and 16 kHz), for a bevy of analog dimension and color.

Add Heft and Weight

Use the Neve 1084 plug-in's mid band to inject muscle and grit to guitars, piano, and strings, or use the selectable Hi Q and shape more surgically. The plug-in's low band lets you tighten up a kick drum, push guitars, or beef up a synth bass. Plus, you can clean up sibilance, hiss, and low-end rumble with selectable high and low cut filters.

Get Chart-Topping Sheen with Any UAD Hardware

Of course, the Neve 1084 Preamp & EQ isn't just for Apollo owners. UAD hardware owners can use the Neve 1084 plug-in on any mix, shaping your sources with legendary "Neve sound" without ever going outside the box.
