Surround Sound Compressor. Six transformer balanced audio paths.
Neve 8051 Surround Compressor
Made by hand, the Neve 8051 Surround Compressor is an analogue compressor with six transformer balanced audio paths, complemented by two side chains and a key input. Based on six 2254 compression circuits – using the same feedback topology as our legendary 33609 stereo compressor – the 8051 delivers the famous Neve sound in spades. Flexible side chain routing, trimming and filtering make this a powerful and responsive tool for surround mixing and mastering.
