Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel
Over fifty years in the making, the Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel is the definitive evolution of the original technologies in Rupert’s classic console modules like the 1073, 1064, 1081 & 2254, thoughtfully advanced and refined for the 21st century studio. The Shelford Channel is built around Rupert Neve’s first new transformer-gain, Class-A microphone preamplifier in over 40 years, the “best-of-the-classics” inductor EQ section from the Shelford 5052, a tone-packed Diode bridge compressor, the analog power of variable Silk saturation, a new dual-tap transformer output stage for maintaining headroom or allowing the full driving of the Channel without clipping standard converters, and twice the operating voltage of vintage designs.
With richly-colored tonal options for making bold statements with your music, and precisely-engineered detented controls for recall, the vintage-inspired Shelford Channel maintains the soul of Rupert’s classic designs with new levels of versatility, delivering what can only be described as the combined essence of fifty years of Rupert Neve’s designs.
SE ELECTRONICS/RUPERT NEVE RNT TUBE MICROPHONE
The sE Electronics/Rupert Neve RNT Tube Microphone is the third in a series of collaborations between sE and Rupert Neve designs. The RNT provides fully discrete, Class-A electronics throughout both stages of the microphone and nine different polar patterns options including cardioid, figure eight, omni, bi-directional and everything in between.
The first stage, the tube-based path of the microphone, includes an ultra-low noise ECC82 tube in the microphone chassis as well as a custom built RND output transformer. The second stage is contained within the power supply and can be used to control the polar pattern, filter and gain switching. The op-amps used within the RNT are the same custom amp used in the flagship 5088 recording console, which has been known worldwide for its extremely high headroom and clarity. To provide the best signal path possible, a second custom RND output transformer has been implemented to this stage.
The large diaphragm condenser microphone is sE’s best design to date, all developed and constructed by hand in the sE factory. The mic includes all Class-A circuitry providing the maximum dynamic range and highest SPL possible while maintaining an ultra-low noise floor. With the option to engage a 12 dB pad or boost the overall input level by 12 dB, the RNT will surely handle any source you put in front of it. Two selectable high-pass filters allow you to remove the low-end rumble generated by the room, or to decrease the proximity effect or plosives of the performance.
Reliable operation is ensured by the sturdy all-metal design, robust construction, and high- quality manufacturing standards. A high-quality metal case is also included.
