FLEXIBLE I/O TO MEET A WIDE RANGE OF WORKFLOWS

If you could use just one word to describe the Neve Genesys Black, it would be versatile. Neve went to work adapting their renowned ​Genesys ​console to perfectly meet the ever-evolving needs of today’s project studios. With Neve channel strips, anchored by popular 1073 pres, the Genesys Black gives you the Neve sound when you want it, while offering plenty of room to tie in your own ​outboard ​ gear ​should ​ you need additional processing​.

STEER YOUR DAW WITH OSX AND WINDOWS-READY TOUCHSCREEN

The Neve Genesys Black takes visual and tactile control to a new level by incorporating a touchscreen into the center of your workflow. Plug-and-play compatible with your OSX and Windows DAWs, the Neve Genesys Black touchscreen allows you to intuitively take control of your session for a decidedly more modern, convenient, elegant approach than outdated click-and-drag mouse workflows.

FADERS PROVIDE A FLEXIBLE WORKFLOW

The motorized ​faders featured on the Neve Genesys Black are ready to work the way you need it to. When you’re tracking, you can use the eight faders on the left to control your inputs, the sixteen in the middle to make DAW adjustments, and the eight on the right for all your aux duties. Then, when you’re ready to get your hands on your mix, you can switch the Neve Genesys Black into DAW mode, spreading each channel across the faders that, yes, are fully DAW-automated.

PREMIUM MONITOR SECTION DRAWN DIRECTLY FROM THE 88RS

Understanding that monitoring flexibility can be as key as I/O, Neve drew from the 88RS in designing the Neve Genesys Black. What you get are two sets each of mono, stereo, and 5.1, readying the Neve Genesys Black for a wide variety of monitoring workflows. You can even bring in a 5.1 external source into the monitoring section.

METERING AND MONITORING:

• Dual 5.1 loudspeaker outputs
• Dual Stereo loudspeaker outputs
• 48-segment LED metering for channel, DAW, 8T, 2T and monitoring
• PPM/VU scale metering
• 6 Auxes (4 mono and 2 stereo)
• 8 groups, 2 main outs
• 4 stereo effects returns
• 5.1 mixing and monitoring
• 2 dedicated cue mixes
• Full talkback/ return talkback capability

CLASSIC NEVE SOUND AND PROCESSING

Although the Neve Genesys Black certainly knows modern, it’s schooled in classic, too. Genesys Black channel strips are anchored by the heralded 1073 preamps. As for the EQ, it’s a 4-band VCA design with a filter ​taken straight from the Neve 88RS console​, ​and you can even opt to fit genuine Neve 1084 Classic EQ. The ​optional ​ dynamics are traditional Neve VCA ​ and all EQ/Dynamics parameters can be easily saved and instantly recalled later. ​ The net result? Just enough of the iconic Neve sound onboard and always at the ready, with the I/O flexibility to incorporate the other tones, flavors, and characteristics your projects call for.

DIGITAL I/O AT 192K WITH NEVE-QUALITY CONVERTERS

On the Neve Genesys Black, digital I/O comes in the form of Firewire, AES, and MADI. Notably, there are three possible D/A I/O paths within each channel strip: two inputs and ​a ​ direct output. These three paths can be sent to and from the A/D converters. Speaking of converters, they sport the same circuit as the Neve DPD, offering up 192 kHz performance at the kind of precision and quality you’d expect from Neve.

UPGRADABLE AND EXPANDABLE TO MEET YOUR GROWING NEEDS

Understanding that your needs are unique and might change over time, Neve offers a variety of upgrades and options for the Genesys Black. Whether you seek full-fledged A/D/DA on all the monitor outputs, or seek to make changes to your EQ or dynamics options, Neve has made sure the the Genesys Black can adapt to a range of environments and workflows.
