FJ V Series: Neve VR Channel

The famous Neve VR mixing desk is commonly acknowledged as one of the greatest mixing consoles ever made: it has been used on thousands of hit records for over 4 decades. Designed and built in England, the VR has been the centrepiece of the world’s best recording studios including Capital Records, Ocean Way, Abbey Road, just to mention a few. Its signature sound has been the trademark of countless artists including Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. With its rich and clean sounding pre-amps, extremely musical 4-band parametric EQs, flattering compressors, and extremely low noise/signal ratio, it quickly became a favourite of the top producers and sound engineers around the globe.

The unit we review here is a single channel taken from the original Neve mixing board, cleverly housed into a sturdy 1 unit rack by pro audio experts Funky Junk. The FJ V series is exactly everything you would imagine it to be. The preamp sounds clean, modern, meaty and musical. The EQ is capable of delivering spectacular broad lifts, surgical corrections and crystal clear top end. The dynamic section (gate/compressor/limiter) is amazingly effective, transparent, and fast to use. The FJ V series is a mono channel unit provides that classic Neve sound, in a small, solid, rack-mountable and affordable package. See below for specs and a full video review.
