Neve 8804 – Faderpack

Precision Fader Control for the 8816 Summing Mixer

The Neve 8816 is the world’s premiere Summing Mixer. One commonly asked question has been “Can I add faders?” – the answer is the 8804.
Designed to be rack mount or table top, the 8804 features sixteen long throw channel faders with associated mute/solo switches and two long throw output faders.
The 8804 not only adds fader control over audio levels to the 8816 but also adds additional functionality. Each of the 8816’s sixteen input channels has a Direct Output from the 8804. These can be set to pre or post fader and can be used to feed FX units, make separate recordings of individual elements of a mix or for multitrack recording. The 8816 channel level pot is no longer required for level setting and becomes a dedicated auxiliary send. This is incredibly useful if the producer wishes to use an outboard reverb unit to add an extra touch of class to their mix.

As part of the 88 range of outboard equipment the 8804 is equipped with recall. A USB port connects the unit to either Mac or PC and a utility programme stores and recalls settings. This is an essential tool for creative flexibility, analogue outboard can be used alongside workstations and their settings recalled whenever required.
