Handbuilt and handwired, the 8051 is based on six 2254 compression circuits using the same feedback topology as Neve's acclaimed 33609 stereo compressor. This unit delivers the vivid, musical Neve sound while providing comprehensive tonal control and versatile sidechain routing, giving you flexible dynamics management and exceptional sonic character for advanced mastering projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDual Compressor Paths with Advanced Routing Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 5.1 surround applications, the 8051 features two independent dynamics control sections selectable per channel, ideal for compressing the center channel differently from rear surrounds. Highpass and lowpass filters allow precise control over how the compressor reacts, with the option to inject these filters into any channel’s signal path—perfect for managing LFE cutoff points. For larger configurations, control voltage I\/O enables multiple 8051 units to be linked together for 10.2 surround or other multi-channel setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePristine Signal Path for World-Class Audio\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandbuilt and handwired in Burnley, England, the 8051 Multichannel Compressor maintains the highest specifications. All six audio paths are transformer balanced, key inputs and LFE inputs are electronically balanced, and outputs are electronically balanced with post-output transformers. This ensures mixes retain full sonic clarity and depth, with encompassing bass, detailed mids, and vibrant highs, providing exceptional dimension and transparency across the entire spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Legend Continues\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neve name continues to set the standard in professional audio. From Rupert Neve’s early tube console designs to the revolutionary 80-series consoles of the 1970s, Neve equipment has defined recording excellence worldwide. Innovations such as the 8078 console and NECAM automation system cemented its legacy. Today, AMS Neve pushes the art of audio forward with cutting-edge gear that blends classic analog character with modern studio demands, delivering professional results with unmatched sonic integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e[tabs] [tab title=\"FEATURES\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAMS Neve 8051 Multichannel Compressor Features:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandbuilt, handwired multichannel analog compressor for 5.1 surround applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEminent sound quality with 6 transformer-balanced audio paths, electronically balanced outputs, and post-output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible sidechain routing and filtering are ideal for broadcast and mastering applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighpass and lowpass filters can be used to shape sidechain signals, or can be applied to any individual signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl voltage I\/O allows you to link multiple units for 10.2 surround mixing and other applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/tab] [tab title=\"SPECIFICATIONS\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"white-space:nowrap;
