Installed in Studio A at 1000 Alabama Avenue around 1980, this console was present for every session made there until the studio's closure in early 2005 - an absolutely top-tier roster that includes Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, B.B King, Bob Seger, John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, Glenn Frey, and Carlos Santana, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8068 is Rupert Neve's masterwork in large-format console design. Transformer-coupled throughout and built around the legendary 31102, it is renowned for warmth and depth in the low end, an easy, airy clarity in the highs, and a musicality that remains unmatched by anything built since. This example is a 32-channel, 16-bus frame with all original Neve 31102 amplifiers on every channel, original Neve switching modules throughout, and a full set of Penny \u0026amp; Giles faders.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetically the console presents exceptionally well for its age, with custom wooden side panels, all knob and switch caps intact, down to the original Rupert Neve \u0026amp; Company serial plate clear and present. Functionally, it passes audio and logic testing and is operational as-is. In order to bring the console to optimal performance, a thorough cleaning and calibration is required; a complete recapping is recommended. A full professional condition report is available to qualified buyers upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe console is currently located in Europe and price does not include import tariffs or taxes.
