Rupert Neve Designs

The Shelford Channel is the definitive evolution of the original technologies in Rupert’s classic console modules like the 1073, 1064, 1081 & 2254, thoughtfully advanced and refined for the 21st century studio.

The Shelford Channel is channel strip of the first order. It begins with Rupert Neve’s first new transformer-gain, class-A microphone preamplifier in over 40 years and continues with the “best-of-the-classics” inductor EQ section from the Shelford 5052. It features a tone-packed Diode bridge compressor, the analog power of variable Silk saturation and a new dual-tap transformer output stage for either maintaining headroom or allowing the full driving of the Channel without clipping standard converters.
