Get the Classic Color of a Vintage Neve EQ

The 1081 Classic Console EQ plug-in gives you the same legendary punch, presence, and sheen on your vocals, guitars, drums, and synths that has become synonymous with the “Neve Sound.” The Neve 1081 Classic Console EQ plug-in is an exclusive, Neve-licensed emulation of their iconic EQ channel module introduced in 1972.

What They Say

I prefer the UAD Neve 1081 to the 1073 the majority of the time. It has more bite, and tends to cut through the track more.

Dylan "3-D" Dresdow

Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Michael Jackson

The [UAD] Neve 1081 allows me to manipulate the upper frequencies which is essential for orchestral recordings.

John Powell

How to Train Your Dragon, The Bourne Supremacy

I love the Neve 1081 plug-In. It can be a subtle EQ if you just need to brighten something up a little bit. It can also be a really dirty EQ, if you really have to dig in and try to get some character.

Darrell Thorp

Beck, Radiohead, Foo Fighters

    It seems to have a clarity that other Neve EQs don't have. Maybe less harmonics? Whatever it is...it brings it.

    Such a simple plug-in with a powerful impact on your track. Very easy to dial in the EQ to your desires. I love all the plug-ins from UA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
