The 4081 Quad Mic Preamp builds on the incredible success of the 1081 and 1081R modules and provides both powerful control and the legendary Neve sound. Perfect for vocals, ADR and Foley Recording, the 4081 features make it the Mic Preamp of choice for any studio, OB truck or a live stage environment. Every function of the 4081 can be controlled directly from the front panel or by remote control using a Mac or Intel based computer with Neve Remote Control software. This provides a simple and elegant solution for users of ProTools, Nuendo, Cubase and similar DAW systems. Multiple 4081 units can be linked together to create up to 64 independent channels of Mic Preamps or Line Level inputs all controlled from a single computer. An optional Digital card provides a FireWire/AES interface with four channels of A/D conversion to either AES or FireWire. An insert point is available before the A/D converter on each channel to allow external, analogue Outboard equipment to be switched into the signal path. Four channels of AES-to-analogue or FireWire-to-analogue conversion are also available. And now with Version 2.00 software, metering information is displayed within the Remote Mic Control window, which is passed back from the 4081 unit(s) to the Remote Mic Control software running on the computer being used for remote control. Heritage Like all Neve outboard products, the 4081 Quad Mic Preamp is hand-built and hand-wired by skilled Neve professionals in Burnley, England. Its design delivers vintage Neve sound, and builds on the legacy of the highly sought-after 1081 products.
