The legendary dynamics of the flagship 88RS analog console are now available in a compact, accessible 500 Series format. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the 88R LBC compressor/limiter offers engineers and creatives the Neve sound, precision, and power of the pinnacle of larger consoles. Experience the compression of the world's finest consoles in the 500 Series. At the heart of the 88R LBC is the authentic 88RS VCA compressor circuit, faithfully inherited from Neve's flagship analog console. Renowned for its precision, transparency, and punch, this circuit configuration has powered countless hit records at studios such as Abbey Road, AIR Studios, and The Village. Now, that legendary sound is available in a single-slot 500 Series module, delivering uncompromising console-grade performance for tracking, mixing, and mastering.

Auto Makeup Gain for Easy Setup: A rare feature in analog-circuit compressors, Auto Makeup Gain automatically adjusts output levels as you change threshold and ratio settings. This intelligent design ensures gain structure is always maintained, making operation faster and more intuitive, allowing engineers to focus on creativity rather than adjustments. Console-Style Group Compression: Employing the same technology as the 88RS console's VCA Bus Link system, multiple 88R LBC units can be linked within a compatible 500 Series chassis to form true compression groups. Each unit maintains independent control while sharing a common sidechain, enabling natural, cohesive group compression with fine-tuning per channel, bringing a workflow previously only possible on larger, full-featured consoles to the 500 Series format. Precise Sound Shaping: A selectable sidechain filter (Off/80Hz/125Hz/300Hz) provides flexible control over low-frequency response and compressor sensitivity. Whether preserving kick energy on the mix bus, taming bass-heavy content, or tailoring transient detail, engineers have precise control over the 88R LBC's response to suit any session. Uncompromising Performance: With over +27dBu headroom, over 114dB of dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion (less than 0.008%), the 88R LBC delivers console-grade purity in a 500-series format. Optimized for the VPR Alliance chassis, it maintains Neve's trademark headroom and transient accuracy while consuming less than 100mA RMS. Adaptive Attack & Intelligent Auto Release: Dual-circuit adaptive attack and triple-time-constant auto release provide smooth, musical control with any sound source.
- Powerful transient control: Variable ratio from 1.5:1 to full limiting and up to 50dB of gain reduction.
- Accurate metering: Dual LED meters clearly display input/output levels and gain reduction.
- Handmade in Burnley, England: Handcrafted using the finest components and to Neve's renowned engineering standards.
