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.

This plugin gives that little spice for your signal what it deservs! I’ve use it with an SM7B. Thanks UAD! :)

Simple and Effective
OK so, I have most of the UAD Preamp models and pushed myself away from one more Neve emulation. I came across a situation where I was recording on location in Costa Rica and had an 8 Channel Mic preamp with ADAT pipe into my Apollo twin.
I could not just load 10 channels of my Neve or even my UA LA 610s because the twin could not handle it. So I got my 14 day trial of these and BAMMMM!!!
10 channels of neve preamps. No problems at all and my sessions were spot-on what I needed to make this trip an amazing trip. Got home and immediately bough the plugin.
Truly a happy ending.

Sounds absolutly lovely!
Makes a big difference on vocals in unison-mode!
C. Piper
The Neve preamp has always been the plugin that I've been looking for to give me that true meaning of character I don't only use this for vocals this is also killer for live instruments! I am a believer.
B. Pelletier
Indispensable !
Parfait pour ajouter une petite touche de caractère !.. Sans consommer trop de DSP !
M. Williams
Disappointed now I can’t upgrade!
The plugin sounds great but it was removed from the current software update! As well as my mastering plug in. Spent money on a plug-in that prevents me from ever upgrading. Why would you do this? Please put the plugins back in the software!
M. Pecora
Ottimo pre

Da Avere nella propria Daw!
Incredibilmente caldo e corposo se usato in insert, ancora meglio se in unison!
La distorsione è fantastica!
Raccomandatissimo... Un must da avere assolutamente!T. Reaves
Great Neve character!
This is just a fantastic sounding preamp when all you want is a great sounding vintage preamp character/tone and you're going to do any shaping somewhere else or the source is already shaped..

Was Happy With This Until...
...I bought the V76. The Neve is a good solid preamp plugin and I would have continued using it regularly had I not discovered the V76 plugin. When comparing the Neve to preamp plugins I've used from other manufacturers, it would be a 5 star rating. Both the Neve and the V76 are well priced and great pieces of gear...do yourself a favor and pick-up both. Always nice to have different colors available in your palette.
