Overview

Neve® 31102 / 31102SE Classic Console EQ Plug-Ins

3-Band Active EQ & High/Low Filters Plug-In Modeled After Legendary Neve 8068 Console

Originally featured in the Neve 8068 console, the 31102 EQ was used to mix one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, Appetite For Destruction by Guns-N-Roses. With its distinct filter shaping and familiar Neve sheen and bite, the Neve 31102/SE EQ Powered Plug-In provides another step in the evolution of classic Neve EQs. Artists ranging from Primus and Metallica to My Morning Jacket and The Red Hot Chili Peppers have also called on the distinct tone of the 31102 EQ in the studio. UA’s Powered Plug-In Neve 31102 EQ delivers the same sonic experience as its analog cousin with exacting detail.

Three-band active EQ and High/Low filters offer enhanced tone-shaping possibilities and a feature complexity that sits squarely between its legendary cousins, the 1073 and the 1081.

    "The Neve plug-ins for UAD are a must for anyone wanting that 'outboard' sound 'in-the-box'."

    "I've had a chance to work with all of the Neve plug-ins and they sound exceptionally good."

    Tom Misner

    (President of AMS-Neve)

    "The definitive series of Neve plug-ins as a compliment to the range of Classic and New Classic Neve hardware units."

    Paul White

    (Sound On Sound)

    "Tonally, the Neve [31102] sounds warmer than the Helios [Type 69] and Harrison [32C] EQs, but that's part of its charm."

    "[The Neve 31102 top end] is airy and glistening, with no hint of the harshness that's found on a lot of digital EQs."

    "The warmth of the [Neve 31102's] bottom end is full, fat and creamy."

    "The mid-band bell curve is where the character of the unit [Neve 31102] lies... It bites in & cuts without leaving the sound thin."

    Incredible equalizer which really opens up the sound without sounding harsh. The parameters are very musical. If you suffer from dull audio, Dr. Neve has the prescription for you! Use this when you need a bit more control than the Neve 1073. … Read more

    After using the demo version of all the NEVE EQ's I chose the 31102. It can sound like the 1073, but is more versatile. I wish I could have all of the NEVE products... but for now the 31102 is my first choice! Also, the LA2A is great (As I knew it would be) I have used it on every session since my … Read more
