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.

Neve Preamp
Nice behaves very similar to original can put some nice warmth or grit into a mic recording, the progression is a little more aggressive than the original but hey NEVE all day long.

ITs NEVE so YOU ALREADY
NEVE SELF EXPLANATORY!!!!!!!! YOU WANT GREAT QUALITY SOUND, YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH THE NEVE BRAND!!!!!!!
P. FRATTINI
The one. The only.
It is definitely the most simple, and yet, one of the most deliciously perfect plugin ever.
I use it on basically everything. From vocals to my Telecaster and even my Strike MultiPad, it is a killer solution to all things input.
I don’t recommend it. I urge you to use it.A. Bakker
Great preamp for recording classical guitar
My Millennia TD1 preamp is my go to preamp. Nothing beats it for me. I use the DI to record electric guitars and the mic preamp for my acoustic and classical guitars.
This summer I started to record the classical guitar that I built myself last year. It took me 12 months to build the guitar, but that’s a different story. Whatever I tried I just could not record the sound that my ears heard by using just one microphone. So I started experimenting with a Neumann TLM102 on the bridge side and a KM184 on the neck side.
I used the Millennia for the TLM102 and a U610B Unison preamp for the KM184 on my Apollo but was not yet convinced and was about to purchase a Millennia HV3C, that has 2 of the same preamp as the TD1, until I saw a video of comparing the Neve 1073 Unison preamp with the real deal.
So… what if I just take the Neve preamp, use the Millennia NSEQ (the TD-1 also has 2 bands of the NSEQ-2), and then into a LA2A? Put it on two channels in the Apollo and connected the guitar with the TLM102 and the KM184. Routed both channels to a bus and glued it together with a bit of compression and the result is great.
Very natural and brings out the warm characteristics of the cedar top of the guitar.

Neve Preamp
Omg, this preamp is amaaazing! Want to buy Neve 1073 with EQ also.
N. Piantedosi
Great tone
Great tone, love it. Using it on the way in on my unison preamps.
M. Guillen
Simple and powerful!
This is a very simple version of the Neve preamp, but it sound amazing used in the unison mode to record almost all sources, special good on vocals and acoustic guitars!
J. Mensah
Not Bad
It's working well
E. Varghese
Clean and Warm Sounding
A must plugin for those who love the warmth of Neve. Clean and warm sounding. Less DSP usage. Loved it...❤️
J. CHEN
can't be better
this preamp is clean, powerful, and comes with the original sound of Neve. It consumes less power than the 1073.
r. niwa
Excellent 素晴らしい
Sounds great for vocal recording and easy to use, doesn't use too much DSP. DSPをあまり消費せず使い方も簡単、ボーカル録音に使ってます。
T. Lockett
Does The Job
Nothing fancy,I'm sure anyone who has used a Neve will get it, I like it because I just can run almost any mic threw this on a unison mic pre, and it will sound good, and it couldn't be easier to use
A. de David-Beauregard
Small but beautiful
Looking for that "in the box" Neve tone (warmth, fuzz, fullness)?
You just found yourself a winner.
Great on pretty much anything, works wonders in Unison.
