Get the Classic '70s Neve Preamp Sound, with Top‑of‑the‑Line EQ

The engine powering a handful of rare Neve 80 series consoles, the Neve 1084 channel amplifier and EQ is a lusted-after audio masterpiece. Its class-A preamp offers signature Neve clarity and character, while its colorful palette of EQ options — three switchable EQ bands and narrow/wide Q setting — take it beyond the famed 1073.

The UAD Neve 1084 has all the power and punch of the 1073, but with more top-end frequency choices, making it perfect to use on overheads, acoustic guitars, strings, and vocals.

    Showing as Trial

    Very upset, bought this and 11 other plug-ins in a 6+6 bundle and they’re showing as inactive. As well as my studio+ bundle plugins being inactive. Very disappointed.

    My voice overs sound great through this thing - better than the 1073

    I was previously happy using the Neve 1073 for my voice over recordings, till I tried the 1084. I know people say it's supposed to be the same basic preamp, just with finer EQ control. But it's not. Even with flat/default EQ on both, the 1084 has a lovely crispness and richness to the sound that the 1073 simply doesn't have. I've never used the 1073 since. Love this preamp.

    1084 > 1073!

    AS HARD AS IT IS FOR ME TO ADMIT SINCE I'VE BEEN IN LUV WITH THE 1073 PREAMP FOR SO LONG, THIS ONE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! KILLER PREAMP, GET IT!

    Very good plugin!

    I am happy! Only one issue: under Windows all UAD-2 plugins are still not scalable...

    We are in 21st century, in AI age, so all plugins must be scalable...

    Worth every penny! :)

    Nobody has ever complained about the sound. ;) I couldn't be any more pleased. Thank you UA and especially Bill Putnam Sr. and Jr. for delivering the goods right on time.
