Refine your sound with the sonic excellence of Rupert Neve's dual flagship preamp.
The Rupert Neve Designs 5025 Dual Shelford mic preamp provides two channels of world-class preamplification for recording and live sound applications. Rupert Neve's flagship mic preamp has been refined and advanced for today's studio, offering the sonic excellence you've come to expect from a legend in pro audio design. Whether you're tracking vocals, acoustic instruments, drums or more, the 5025 allows you to capture audio with stunning realism and depth.
Transformer-Based Mic Preamp
Like Rupert Neve's classic designs, the 5025 employs a custom input transformer to provide the first 15dB of gain. This transformer, integrated with the surrounding Class-A circuitry, is key to the preamp's characteristic bold and mid-focused tone heard on so many iconic recordings. While the preamp's harmonic richness comes mostly from the output transformer and Class-A amplifiers, the input transformer also adds its own musical coloration, subtly enhancing lows and highs in a pleasing, non-linear way.
Silk and Texture Circuits Offer Tonal Versatility
The Silk circuit gives you control over the amount and type of harmonic content in the 5025's output stage. Adjust the texture from transparent to a sound with nearly 10 times the color of Neve's vintage modules. The Red and Blue modes provide two unique tonal flavors so you can dial in the perfect amount of silk for your needs. Use Texture control to fine-tune high frequencies for extra air and shimmer.
Dual Transformer Outputs Prevent Clipping
The 5025 has dual transformer outputs with Main (+26dBu) and -6dB (+20dBu) connections. This lets you drive the preamp into saturation without clipping other devices down the signal chain. Fully saturating the output transformers results in a rich, harmonically complex tone that has long been a hallmark of Neve's designs.
A Modern Classic for Professional Studios
Rupert Neve Designs has advanced the preamp that helped define the sound of professional recording. The 5025 Dual Shelford Mic Preamp builds on your favorite attributes of the 1073, 1064 and 2254, delivering enhanced control, extended frequency response and low noise for a best-in-class recording experience. When transparent amplification or classic Neve tone are called for, the 5025 is the modern solution serious musicians and engineers trust.
