AMS Neve 88M - a new USB interface hits the market

The 88M uses the same microphone preamplifier as the world-leading 88R console. The microphone, line and DI analogue inputs are fed through the Marinair transformer, ensuring that all microphone & instrument inputs benefit from the legendary Neve preamp sound.

The Interface has plenty of audio inputs for more extensive recording sessions – two analogue inputs via the onboard preamps combined with eight digital inputs via ADAT optical connection allow for tracking up to ten signals. In addition, there are ten available outputs, two analogue monitor sends and eight digital outputs via ADAT optical connection.

Two dedicated TRS outputs are available for your studio monitors, precisely controlled from the 88RS-style monitor pot with a center detent set to -12dB below the maximum for the ideal studio listening level.

The headphone amplifier has plenty of headroom for professional headphones with independent level control and a front-mounted TRS connection.

Both preamp channels feature a balanced insert send & return loop. Each insert send is always active, allowing for signal splitting, and providing an analogue output for each preamp before the A/D converter.

The 88M uses premium AD/DA conversion chips to deliver ultimate fidelity for all outgoing and incoming audio signals.

The interface is designed for plug-and-play connectivity, taking power directly from the USB 3.0 connection. This class-compliant audio interface can be connected quickly to any laptop and be ready to record music in minutes.
