Neve® Preamp
-
The authentic Neve preamp sound, right at your fingertips.
The Neve mic preamp is an undisputed audio masterpiece, adding genuine Neve sheen, richness, and thick musical detail to any signal that passes through it. The pinnacle of Neve preamp design is the classic 1073 module with EQ, but Neve also briefly produced the 1290 module — a rare, preamp-only version of the 1073.
Now, you can get the clarity, grit, and harmonically complex class‑A saturation of this amazing mic preamplifier in a simple two-knob plug-in that’s perfect for UA Audio Interface owners.Now You Can:
Get the world’s only authentic plug-in emulation of the legendary class-A, Neve mic preamp
Record "through" the iconic Neve preamp in real time using UA Audio Interfaces, with low DSP use
Color your tracks with musical saturation and complex nonlinear circuit behaviors
Control UA Audio Interface mic preamp gain staging and impedance directly from the Neve Preamp plug-in via Unison™ technology
Take a Listen
The Neve Preamp — Simplified
The Neve Preamp plug-in combines sonic attributes of both the 1073 and 1290 designs and provides all the bandwidth and attitude of Neve's original hardware, as heard on countless classic recordings. By thoroughly modeling the dual-stage "Red Knob" preamp and output amplifier with obsessive detail, the Neve Preamp plug-in replicates the sound and behavior of the original preamp with stunning accuracy.
Give Your Tracks the Sound of Your Favorite Albums
Like the original hardware, the Neve Preamp plug-in adds characteristic color and grit. Just drop it into the Unison slot of your UA Audio Interface’s Console software to add instant character to vocals and acoustic guitars, or treat synths, drums, and bass with the complex, dynamic clipping behavior that can only come from Neve.
Unison Technology for UA Audio Interfaces
Harnessing UA’s Unison technology, the Neve Preamp plug-in blurs the lines between analog and digital, giving you all of the legendary hardware’s impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and circuit behaviors. The secret is Unison’s bi-directional control and communication from the Neve Preamp plug-in to the digitally controlled mic preamps in UA Audio Interfaces.
Add Clarity and Color to Any Source
Of course, the Neve Preamp plug-in isn’t just for UA Audio Interface owners. UAD-2 hardware owners can employ the Neve Preamp plug-in for mixing and tone shaping — without ever leaving the box. Thanks to its lower DSP usage, you can easily place Neve Preamp plug-in instances across multiple channels, turning your favorite DAW into a classic Neve console.

Improved tracking quality
This plugin is used by me a lot now, when tracking. It helps me get a a better sound in that I did before, and sometimes that includes using it in conjunction with other outboard gear and on its own, through Apollo Twin. I like it a lot. I do not consider myself an expert, but in my humble opinion, if it makes a difference for me, it will likely for you also. Try it.

I do get down on UAD for the amount of core power to make their plugs work,... That being said, I gladly give them a super thumbs up for giving us a stellar Pre-Amp that is not only functional but deliciously so. This is Neve all the way and I personally think it's my favorite from UA! Good job indeed!!!! Yeah I got the full version and at the end of the mix when my measly 6 cores are screaming, it's good to know I gave it my all without losing anything from the pre-amps inputs!!!! This is a must , get coupons and buy it!!!!!

nice surprise
I was pleasantly surprised to learn from the recent UAD Neve Preamp plugin. and I was tremendously surprised at such product performance and I was largely satisfied with the result. I think the future of audio will go through great innovations and that analogical equipment fortunately or unfortunately will be things of the past,

Y. Yoon

P. Moshay
its crazy that i can use lots of these on my sessions now
Im totally spoiled not only by being able to have lots of these Neve's to use in a session, but also not having to deal with maintaining them anymore.... i own 6 and thats not nearly enough once you know the mojo that they offer.
G. Gassert
Saves using up more sharc power to get a Neve Flavor
At first I didn't think I needed this having the 1073 channel strip . But after consideration the Neve Preamp made perfect sense.... I can color up more tracks than before , Glad I got it.

Perfect preamp
It’s a neve and it’s so close I cannot say it’s not the real thing! A perfect addition to the tool box of plugins from UAD
K. Todorov
Awesome!
I have the real ones and these are extremely close to the originals!

Neve preamp
Uad again, great emulation, must have it, inserted on each chanel,give warm and true analog touch

True Harmonic Enhancement
I have been delving further into analog modeling in the last 2 years using tape saturation and console emulation from UAD, Waves, Slate etc. and I have to say that this simple Neve model has the most profound harmonic effect on my signal right out of the gate. It creates a warmth, presence and 3 Dimensional bounce that rivals the vintage original 1073 pres I’ve used at several studios in NYC. It almost feels like cheating! Bravo UAD, and keep it coming!

My Go To Plugin Now
The Neve preamp is such a great plug in it gives you that sound that quality that that grit to your tracks. On vocal say no more this is the exact plug-in I have been looking for since my mix and career began. It is a game changer and I will definitely use it on all my mixes coming in the near future.
