The AMS Never 2264ALB is a remake of the classic Never 2264A mono limiter/compressor in 500 series format, making this unique sound available at an affordable price.
Originally designed in 1974, the Neve 2264A mono Limiter/Compressor unit quickly became a legend. Delivering similar facilities and performance as the earlier 2254 Limiter/Compressor type, it did so despite being packaged in a more compact form-factor. Discrete, Class A/B design and transformer-coupled circuits used in the input, innovative bridge-driver design, side-chain and output stages ensured a totally unique sound. The original 2264A units are still sought after, decades after production stopped, and they remain one of the milestone pieces of studio equipment.
And now the 2264A unit is available for your 500-series rack.
Crafted in England by Neve engineers, the 2264ALB retains the original 2264A’s unique sonic characteristics by using the same architecture, matching components and original hand-wound transformers and adds new features: a Signal Presence indicator LED and a Slow Attack option. And it delivers it in a modern and portable form-factor which professional producers and engineers demand.
Simply install into an empty slot in your compatible 500-series rack, connect your line level signals and inject the legendary Neve dynamic sound into your audio creations. And it's the perfect pairing for the incredible Neve 1073LB microphone pre amp module. The 2264ALB module can be inserted between the input and output stages of the 1073LB module, creating an all-new Neve classic audio path.

As a pro-engineer, I'm always looking for products that give me fast and efficent results when tracking and mixing. The Neve 2264alb is one of those products that has become a vital tool in my studio and has given me great results on acoustic and electric guitars, individual drums as well as the drum bus and also on the mix bus. I have several compressors in my arsenal which includes 1176s, distressors, SSL and CL1B. This compressor adds anotther sound to my mixing and it is highly recomended to those into the 500 series modules. Treat yourself, buy two and have a modern classic in your arsenal.
