Installed in world-class control rooms worldwide, their large-format consoles have recorded countless iconic hits since the '70s. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could infuse your DAW-based studio productions with the authoritative sound of a Neve front end? Well, now you can! The Neve 88M 2-channel USB bus-powered audio interface incorporates the same transformer-balanced circuitry as the company’s flagship 88RS console. Equipped with reference-grade AD\/DA conversion, the 88M delivers the uncompromising audio quality and peerless musicality only Neve can provide. Designed and built in England, the Neve 88M brings home the sound of Abbey Road, Air, and Capitol Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNo-compromise British engineering\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neve 88M packs a ton of utility into its rugged compact chassis. The inclusion of ADAT optical I\/O gives you eight channels of digital connectivity, bringing you potential channel counts of up to 10 in and 10 out, all while two sets of balanced inserts expand your analog connectivity. USB 3.0 protocol provides speedy transfer rates while future-proofing your investment. So, yes — the 88M is very well appointed for its compact form factor. But it’s under the bonnet where Neve’s superior engineering works its magic. Designed and built in England, the 88M features purist circuit paths that strictly utilize premium analog and digital componentry, such as Neve’s universally lauded Marinair transformers, which assist in delivering the classic Neve sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInfuse your music with sonic authority\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeve consoles wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification. When even your inexpensive dynamics take on new sonic authority through the 88M, you’ll start to see the contents of your mic locker in a whole new light. The fact that it can handle and finesse all of your sources — like dynamic, condenser, or ribbon mics; instruments; or line-level signals, for example — makes the 88M invaluable for today’s DAW-based studio workflows. The 88M’s DI circuitry makes electric basses and guitars sound like they’re plugged into a great amp. Keyboards and synthesizers soar and growl with crystalline transparency. Acoustic instruments with pickups shine with authentic tone and dimensionality. Whatever you pass through the Neve 88M, you can be assured it will sound its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNeve: the legend continues\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Music Experience, the name Neve commands reverence. Rupert Neve started designing audio equipment in the tube console era but made his mark with solid-state designs. Setting up shop in England's Little Shelford in the ’60s, Mr. Neve faced many obstacles while establishing his brand amid a new technological landscape. Transistors were new, expensive, and difficult to obtain in quantity in the UK. Reliable faders didn’t exist yet — a far cry from today’s world, where parts are affordable and readily available from multiple suppliers who are all competing to win bids. Nevertheless, Neve persisted. And by the early '70s, the Neve company was humming along, taking orders and building custom transformer-balanced consoles for recording and broadcast studios around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eYour Neve console front end\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeve 80 Series consoles had a huge, punchy, and authoritative sound that defined the sound of ’70s rock. From London to New York to Los Angeles and beyond, top studios were installing Neve desks as fast as they could. By 1978, with the introduction of the majestic 8078 — the pinnacle of handwired analog “production” consoles — and NECAM automation system, Neve boards were the main component in the success formula for any recording studio with world-class aspirations. In the decades since, Neve has innovated with such groundbreaking products as the VR, VX, and 88R Series consoles. And today, the company continues to advance their state-of-the-art products with cutting-edge and incredible-sounding pro audio gear that intelligently addresses the challenges of the digital age. Simply put, your 88M from Music Experience will imbue your home studio projects with Neve’s inimitable audio excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Neve Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLegendary Sound on your Desktop\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the same transformer-balanced technology as Neve’s flagship large-format 88RS, the 88M brings the legendary sound of AIR, Abbey Road, and Capitol Studios into your home and portable studio setup. The 88M uses the same microphone preamplifier as the world-leading 88R console. The 88 Marinair transformer-coupled preamp, used on countless top-ten singles and film scores, is a proven design that delivers analogue punch and clarity to all signal sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 88M microphone, line, and DI analogue inputs and DAW digital inputs are fed through the Marinair transformer, ensuring that all inputs benefit from the legendary Neve preamp sound. 88M units manufactured after January 2026 include a new, highly requested feature that allows reprocessing of previously recorded signals through the 88M preamp transformer and insert send\/return loop. This option allows the 88M to function as a ‘hardware insert’ in your DAW for mono or stereo tracks, letting DAW signals benefit from the Marinair transformer character previously available only during tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 88M has plenty of audio inputs for more extensive recording sessions — two analogue inputs via the onboard preamps combined with eight digital inputs via ADAT optical connection allow for tracking up to ten signals. In addition, there are ten available outputs: two analogue monitor sends and eight digital outputs via ADAT optical connection, ideal for expanded monitoring, additional performer cue sends, or connecting to different analogue units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 88M has two dedicated TRS outputs for your studio monitors, precisely controlled from the 88RS-style monitor pot with a centre detent set to -12dB below the maximum for the ideal studio listening level. The 88M headphone amplifier has plenty of headroom for professional headphones with independent level control and a front-mounted TRS connection. Both preamp channels feature a balanced insert send \u0026amp; return loop, ideal for connecting analogue outboard processing into your recording chain. Each insert send is always active, allowing for signal splitting and providing an analogue output for each preamp before the A\/D converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike its progenitor — the two-ton 88RS console — the 88M is built to last. Housed in a high-grade and robust shell, the 88M is the ideal interface to take out on the road. The 88M uses premium AD\/DA conversion chips to deliver ultimate fidelity for all outgoing and incoming audio signals. With the 88M in your home studio arsenal, you can trust your converters, knowing that the recorded sound is as pure as the sound in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral built-in and simple-to-use monitoring options are available, providing latency-free monitoring for mono and stereo signal sources, ideal for playback, tracking, and overdubbing. The 88M is designed for plug-and-play connectivity, taking power directly from the USB 3.0 connection. This class-compliant audio interface can be connected quickly to any laptop and be ready to record music in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e[tabs] [tab title=\"FEATURES\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeve 88M Audio Interface Features:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-format 88RS console front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLegendary “Neve colour” for all inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeve “big iron” — circuit paths balanced with proprietary Marinair transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReference-grade AD\/DA conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuperior instrument audio quality from Neve DI circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpandable digital connectivity provided by ADAT I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo sets of balanced inserts for expandable analog connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubstantial, workhorse design for years of faithful service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 connectivity to future-proof your investment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBus\/hub powered — perfect for recording on the road\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass-compliant (Core Audio\/ASIO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned and built by Neve engineers in England\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;
