Editing AMS Neve (section)

==Background==
[[Neve Electronics]] was a British manufacturer of [[mixing console]]s that originated in the work of [[Rupert Neve]] in the 1960s. Neve analogue consoles have been considered to be of such high quality that many of twenty or thirty years of age are still in use today at [[recording studio]]s around the world&mdash;even as [[digital audio]] has taken over many aspects of recording technology.  Studios with Neve equipment are often sought out by musicians. Models such as the '1073' and '1081' [[Microphone preamplifier|microphone preamps]] are still among the most popular and expensive in the recording world.

Neve was the first company to develop [[Mix automation|computer-controlled moving fader automation]], NECAM, in the mid-1970s. 

In 1985 Neve Electronics was acquired by the [[Siemens]] group; in 1992 the [[Siemens]] group combined Neve Electronics with another newly acquired company, [[AMS (Advanced Music Systems)|Advanced Music Systems]] to form AMS Neve. Today, the company produces both digital and analogue systems, marketing digital products under the '''AMS Neve''' brand, and analogue products under the '''Neve''' brand.
