Page 7: Introduction
Neve consoles for decades, including the legendary VR and 88R series. Iconic Sound Quality Building on this rich legacy, the Neve 88R dynamics section is renowned for its warm, smooth, and musical compression. It delivers a signature sound that enhances clarity and punch, all while preserving the natural tone of your recordings. -
Page 8: Quick Start Guide
• Neve Sticker Power Connections The 88C unit is USB-powered. Power can be provided from any USB3 Power compliant device and can connect directly to an available USB3 or Thunderbolt 3+ port of your studio computer. Alternatively, a USB 3 powered hub can be used to provide power to the unit from an AC power outlet in your studio. - Page 9 DAW, or as a send/return from/to specific tracks or DAW busses. If the 88C is to be used with external analogue equipment, such as a console, summing mixer, or with the Neve 88M, the 88C TRS inputs can be...

Page 10: Compressor Controls
Compressor Controls Input Signal Metering The I/P LED indicator uses a true analogue LED system to display incoming audio signals visually. The I/P LEDs are fed directly from the input signal before the Compressor’s controls. SIG’ shows that signal is present and detected. 0, +14, +20 (dBu) LEDs are lit when the signal reaches their respective levels. -
Page 11: Ratio/Limiting
Ratio/Limiting The RATIO pot determines the amount which the compressor will act upon (reduce) the signal above the Threshold. These two controls are used to form the overall gain reduction of the input signal. Ratios of 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 :1 and lim (limiting) can be selected via the indication surrounding the pot. -
Page 12: Attack
Attack The 88C follows the core topology of the 88RS console’s compressor/limiter, utilising its Adaptive Attack technology. Adaptive attack is program-dependant. The circuitry allows the compressor attack to adapt to the input signal transients. Without F.Atk (Fast-Attack) selected, levels that surpass the threshold by 4dB or less, will have an attack time of 5ms applied. -
Page 13: Release
Anti-Breathe Technology The 88RS console utilises anti-breathe technology in its compressor circuit which is included in the release circuitry of the 88C. This feature is automatically activated when there is a sudden drop in audio, 30dB or more below the threshold. -
Page 14: Makeup Gain
Makeup Gain Once compression has been applied, the MAKEUP GAIN pot can be used to increase the output signal of the unit, allowing for a balance of input and output levels. The Makeup gain pot ranges from 0 to 30dB. Note: aggressive use of the Makeup gain pot can result in analogue distortion of the output signal. -
Page 15: Additional Features
Additional Features The 88R compressor circuit was optimized for use in the 88RS console channel strip. The 88C, designed for mono or stereo desktop use includes several additional features optimised for standalone use. Sidechain HPF Sidechain filters can be employed on a variety of signal sources to adjust the response of the compressor to specific frequency bandwidths. -
Page 16: Sidechain Key Input
BLUE LED will illuminate once engaged. The 88C features two KEY inputs that enable external signals to be used to ‘trigger’ the compression of channel 1 and channel 2 independently. Each channel accepts balanced line level signal via the rear 1/4” TRS jack connection. -
