Neve 5316 Console- SOLD

[Stevebartlett]

Neve 5316 For sale.

Custom Build Circa 1974 Neve 5316 Console. This console came from Neve Custom as an order originally for ESPN in NY, I shipped it to Australia in 2010.

It is an 8 Buss console with 31 channels and 2 Stereo Master Groups. It has 16 * 33114/b Pre/EQ's which are the same Pre/ EQ from the Melbourn Series console and are used in the 1081 Pre/EQ from the 80 Series Desks. It is the largest 53 Series in Australia. Australia's other 53 Series Neve is in Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne. IT is the last of the Modular Neve's, making for cheaper and more effective maintenance that requires no downtime, and after the 80 Series is the most sort after Neve of all time.

The Desk was entirely recapped in 2010 by Jeff Del Bello of NY and is in incredible condition with new leather rest and scribble strip. The Console is wired to have the NEVE comp's installed, should that be desired.

With the Console comes a Custom Metal Frame and specialised Gold Cleaner for the faders. An Ipad Dock, and Gen 1 Ipad has been custom built into the console to allow for apps, like Pro Control to control Pro Tools, Clear Tune for tuning instruments and DB Meter for monitoring the audio level. It also comes with a Henry Engineering Matchbox, and Coleman Line Level Selectors to allow for unbalanced inputs to monitor the same as the desk, IE, listening to an Ipod or Computer at the same level as the mix allowing for excellent referencing.


The Desk also comes with 6 Balanced and Custom wired Bantam TT patch bays. These are the highest quality professional patch bays, needed for any professional recording studio, and are wired to the desk and all required outboard and are fully labeled. It also includes 50 Mogami Bantam TT patch leads of various length and colour, again of the highest quality to ensure longevity and no signal loss.

Just vouching for Steve's desk here, used it at his studio a few times. Great sound, great condition and Steve's done very well looking after it.

[Manning]

I don't think Steve's integrity or the inherent value of this desk is remotely at issue

Coming up with $50K is probably the larger problem. I'd buy this desk in a heartbeat if it were feasible.

Thanks Rick. There is hope indeed...

I'll let the purchaser reveal himself if he chooses. But the good news is it stayed in AUS, after all the hassle i went to to get it here, I'm very glad of that!
