The AMS Neve 27 Slot Rack is a professional modular enclosure designed to house and power modules from the esteemed AMS Neve 88R and 88RS large-format analog recording consoles. This rack system allows studios to expand their console's channel count or to create a standalone outboard processing unit populated with Neve's renowned discrete Class-A analog modules, such as microphone preamplifiers, equalizers, and dynamics processors. Each slot in the 27-slot frame accepts a single module, providing the necessary power supply, audio busing, and metering connections to integrate the modules into a cohesive system. The rack embodies the legendary build quality and audio integrity associated with the Neve name, utilizing heavy-gauge steel construction and precision internal wiring to preserve the sonic character of the modules.

The rack is engineered as the foundational component for building a custom "sidecar" or expanding an existing console infrastructure. It typically includes a centralized, high-capacity linear power supply that delivers the clean, stable voltages required by the sensitive analog circuitry. The back of the rack features a comprehensive patch bay that provides normalized connections to the audio inputs and outputs of each module, as well as access to the group and master bus outputs. This design allows for incredibly flexible signal routing within the rack and integration with the rest of the studio's equipment. The front of the rack is clean and professional, designed to hold the modules securely and provide access to their front-panel controls.

As a cornerstone of high-end analog recording infrastructure, the AMS Neve 27 Slot Rack is a tool for studios seeking the ultimate in sonic quality and flexibility. It enables engineers and producers to build a custom channel strip system with the coveted Neve sound, whether for tracking, mixing, or as a hybrid complement to a digital workflow. By offering a modular, expandable platform for Neve's classic circuitry, it represents a long-term investment in analog audio excellence.
