Channels
The N2081 Channel represents the summit of analog recording utilizing original Neve classic designs and modern production techniques with an In-Line channel path.
The Input Module hosts the Channel Input Selector, Gain with Trim, Phase, 48V and High Pass Filter.
Featuring Mic, Line, DAW and a D.I. input with the Mic and D.I. going through the legendary Carnhill 'Green' St. Ives winding transformers.
Each module contains two stereo (A & B) and three mono (Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3) Auxiliary Sends.
There is a channel Insert path that can be either pre or post EQ.
The 2081 EQ is based on the acclaimed 4 band 1081 EQ.
The Monitor path section features a rotary trim control and two selectable inputs - DAW and Line.
The Pan controls are dual function and will Solo Isolate when depressed.
Retro - routes the Channel path to the Retro Output Stage (voltage summing).
The direct out for each channel is via the tranformers.
A note about EQ
The EQ found on the 2081 Channel Module offers the classic sonic flavor of the 1073, with the functionality of a 1081.
The output amp is based on the BA283, single ended, class A circuitry with a gapped core transformer, as used in the 1073 and 2254 Compressor.
The recreation of the circuitry sees the same sonic qualities as the original, heralded as eminently 'musical', whilst a far cleaner and quieter signal through the redesign of the BA338 amplifying stage has been achieved.
The 2081 EQ is a four band semi-parametric EQ. Bell curve and Hi Q controls, adjacent to the Frequency Selectors, switch between a narrow/wide Q on the high and low mids, or a narrow Q/shelving EQ on the high and low frequencies.
