The Neve 88R LBC brings the legendary dynamics of the flagship 88RS console into the compact and accessible world of 500-series. Built around the same precision VCA topology that defines one of the most respected analogue consoles in history, this module delivers the accuracy, transparency and punch that top engineers rely on in major studios worldwide.

Designed and hand-built in England, the 88R LBC gives modern producers and mixers the unmistakable Neve sound in a format that fits effortlessly into today’s hybrid workflows. From tracking to mix-bus duties, it offers outstanding headroom, powerful transient control and intuitive operation tailored for fast, creative sessions.

• Group Link mode for console-style multi-module compression groups
• Selectable sidechain filter: Off / 80Hz / 125Hz / 300Hz
• Adaptive attack and intelligent auto-release for smooth, musical response
• Variable ratios from 1.5:1 up to full limiting with up to 50dB gain reduction
• Dual LED meters for clear input/output and gain-reduction monitoring
• Hand-crafted in Burnley, England using premium components

Why Choose the 88R LBC

This is not a “500-series version” of a console design — it is the console design. The same dynamic behaviour, the same tight VCA response, and the same headroom found in world-class control rooms like Abbey Road, AIR Studios and The Village. The Auto Make-Up Gain workflow dramatically speeds up setup, while the group-link capabilities open the door to true console-style multi-channel compression. Whether controlling vocals, tightening drum buses or adding mix-bus glue, the 88R LBC delivers refined, musical compression with unmistakable Neve authority.
