Rupert Neve Newton Channel Features:
- Classic Rupert Neve Mic Pre Tone: Get the punchy, larger-than-life sound heard on countless hit records for the last 50 years. The Newton also includes our distinctive variable high-pass filter with a comprehensive frequency range adjustment and independent bypass switch, allowing the engineer to quickly eliminate unwanted noise, rumble or other low frequency build-up in the source signal.
- Custom Transformers and Class-A Line Amplifiers: Vintage character meets the improved headroom and precision of Rupert Neve Designs’ updated
transformer-coupled line stages. - Comprehensive 3-Band EQ: Flexible, intuitive EQ section with fully sweepable mid-band, specially designed for the Newton Channel. The low
and high frequency shelf bands are controllable with accurate 31-detent potentiometers that provide up to 12dB of gain boost/cut. The parametric mid-band of the Newton EQ section includes another 31-detent potentiometer and a wide range of mid frequencies to boost or cut, switchable from 220Hz to 7kHz. - Fast & Smooth VCA Compressor: Gently tame transients or apply heavy yet smooth compression with the latest iteration of our esteemed VCA compressor circuit. Also includes a pre/post EQ switch for even greater flexibility.
- Silk Red & Blue Saturation: Dial in subtle richness or over-the-top vintage-style harmonic saturation using a simple set of controls.
