Introduction
The 4081 Quad Mic Preamp builds on the incredible success of the 1081
and 1081R modules and provides both powerful control and legendary
Neve sound.
Perfect for vocals, ADR and Foley recording, the 4081 features make it the
number one choice for any studio, OB truck or live stage environment.
Every function of the 4081 can be controlled directly from the front panel
or by remote control using a Mac or PC with the Neve Remote Control
software.
This provides a simple and elegant solution for users of ProTools and other
DAW systems.
Multiple 4081 units can be linked together to create up to 64 independent
channels of Mic Pre-amps or Line Level inputs, all controlled from a single
point.
The unit always powers up with all settings, levels and states as they were
at power-down.
An optional Digital module provides a Firewire/AES interface with four
channels of A/D and D/A 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.
