It includes flexible routing (EQ before/after dynamics, sidechain options), recall via USB, and optional high‑quality A/D conversion (PCM to 192 kHz and DSD) with AES/SPDIF outputs when the converter card is installed.Why I’m selling: It’s an outstanding piece of gear but a bit too advanced for my current needs as a hobbyist; I’d prefer it goes to someone who’ll use it regularly.What’s includedAMS Neve 8801 main unit (1U)IEC power cablePhotos of actual unit (see gallery)Key specs (short)Marinair transformer mic pre, 70 dB gain, +26 dBu headroomPhantom 48V, phase reverse, 20 dB pad4-band EQ: 2 fully parametric mids (±20 dB), switchable bell/shelf on HF/LF, Q 0.7–2.0Dynamics: 88RS-style compressor & gate, variable attack/release, 5-stage GR meter, stereo linkRouting: reorder EQ/dynamics/insert; sidechain optionsRecall via USB; optional A/D: PCM to 192kHz / DSD, SPDIF/AES/DSD outputsCondition & testingCosmetic: minor rack wear and a small paint chip on left edge (photos included).Functional: all controls and meters work; preamp and EQ pass audio at all settings; compressor/gate function as expected; recall reads/writes presets.Shipping & paymentLocated in the Netherlands.
