Neve were originally a legendary British mixing console manufacturer that originated in the work of Rupert Neve in the 1960s.

Studios with Neve equipment are often sought out by musicians. Models such as the '1073' preamp are still among the most popular and expensive in the recording world. The company does produce digital consoles today alongside analogue systems. Neve was the first company to develop computer-controlled moving fader automation, NECAM, in the mid 1970s.

Rupert Neve was also involved in the design of the Amek 9098i a large-format analog console,
