Editing Neve Electronics (section)

===1970s===
In 1970, Rupert Neve designed the 1073 module for the new A88 mixing console; this console was designed for [[Wessex Sound Studios|Wessex Studios]]. During the seventies Neve Electronics produced a whole series of mixing consoles for both broadcast and recording studios. In 1973, the [[Neve 8048|8048 console]] was produced; this included the newer 1081 microphone/line preamplifier and equaliser.<ref name=Neve45/> In the same year Rupert Neve sold Neve Electronics to the [[Bonochord Group]]. He continued working alongside Neve Electronics until 1975 when he left altogether.<ref name="Line Up Magazine">[http://www.ibs.org.uk/public/lineuparchive/2006/107_Sep-Oct/10_The_Neve_DSP.pdf www.ibs.org.uk]{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2009.</ref>

In 1977, Neve Electronics began using digital technology with the introduction of their Necam system. Necam stood for Neve Computer Assisted Mixdown. The first [[Necam]] system was installed at [[AIR Oxford Circus|AIR Studios]] in [[London]].<ref name=Neve45/> Necam also gained popularity in television post production facilities, including the BBC. Before the introduction of Necam, all fader mixing had to be done as live, a considerably skilled and stressful task for any dubbing mixer. Necam allowed for fader movements to be stored and recalled at a later point, allowing the dubbing mixer to build a mix in stages and focus on the creative and artistic elements of a mix, rather than on managing the technology. For those working in television post production, this was seen as a major breakthrough.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.adapttvhistory.org.uk/assets/stories/sound-mixing/tvsoundmix.html|title=The evolution of television sound mixing|website=www.adapttvhistory.org.uk|access-date=2018-05-29}}</ref> In 1979, the 8108 console was produced using both analog and digital technology. The console had assignable controls and memory mixing faders.<ref name=Neve45/>
