UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 225 - Chapter 25: Neve 1081 Equalizer
Neve 1081 and 1081SE Controls
Overview The Neve 1081 channel module is a four-band EQ with high and low cut fil-
ters. The 1081 features two parametric midrange bands, with “Hi-Q” selec-
tions for tighter boosts or cuts. Both the high and low shelf filters have select-
able frequencies and may be switched to bell filters. Other features include a
–20 to +10 db input gain control, phase reverse, and EQ bypass.
The bands are arranged and grouped as in Figure 77 below. The bands fea-
ture dual-concentric controls. For each of the main bands, the inner knob con-
trols the gain while the outer ring controls the frequency. The low and high cut
filters are grouped as one knob/ring set, but they are actually two indepen-
dent filters.

Each feature of the UAD Neve 1081 and 1081SE interfaces are detailed be-
low.
Input Gain The Input Gain control sets the level at the input of the
plug-in. The range is from –20dB to +10dB.
When the Input Gain knob “snaps” to the OFF position,
plug-in processing is disabled and UAD DSP usage is re-
duced.
Note: Clicking the OFF screen label toggles between
OFF and the previously set Input Gain value. You can also click the Neve logo
to toggle between OFF and the previous state.
