Genesys Black In Depth

Genesys Black, hand-built in Neve's UK factory, combines superb analog design and true Neve preamp circuitry with hands-on DAW control and connectivity for Pro Tools, etc. And it's modular, meaning you don't have to wait until you can afford the full 48-fader system to become a Neve-equipped studio. In its basic 8-channel configuration you get 8 channels of mic/line preamps plus 16 channels of DAW control and 16-channel analog summing at mixdown. And eight auxiliary buses, and eight group buses. And 5.1 monitoring.

There's a 'classic Neve' look and feel to the controls, but take a closer look and you'll see they're ultra modern too: every switch is 'soft'. The benefits go far beyond letting you customize your set up to suit the way you work. It also means every routing decision and every switch setting can be saved and instantaneously reset. You can also instantly recall the settings of the fitted digitally controlled, analogue Neve EQ (88RS 4-band or optional Neve 1084 EQ) and optional Neve VCA-style dynamics too. Just think of the reconfiguration time that saves when you're juggling multiple projects in your studio.
