Hey synth people! We’ll see you May 07-09 in Berlin – and we’re bringing a 5088 again, thanks to KMR Audio Germany and Helwa Studio.

Thanks to Sarah Raz and Hook Up, Inc. for this video from the NAMM Show, in which we have a lengthy chat about our new OptoFET Dual Stage Compressor.

“My best advice: just go. Show up at a venue, wrap cables, push cases, ask questions, and start turning knobs. The church is also an amazing training ground - it’s where I started 13+ years ago. You’ll get hands-on time with the same gear used in top productions, there’s a huge need for volunteers, and there’s plenty of grace as you learn. That path not only got me here but also connected me to the kind of tools I use today, like Rupert Neve.”

New for April 2026, Rupert Neve Designs is proud to introduce the 562 module: the world’s first fully analog 500-Series echo chamber, coupled with a discrete 2-band EQ and the company’s unique Silk + Texture circuit.

We will be exhibiting at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas this June 17-19. Come find us in the North Hall at booth N6277 – see you there!

Thanks to our UK reseller SX Pro for producing this excellent piece of OptoFET content.

Located in a historic 5-bedroom home in Catskill, NY, Old Soul Studios has hosted a vast array of indie artists including Ratatat, Beirut, Langhorne Slim, Neko Case, The New Pornographers and many more.

Join us for a tour of Mike Crossey’s new Los Angeles studio, and let him show you how he’s been using the new OptoFET.

“Our studio is called ‘Colima Estudios’, conveniently located in one of Mexico’s most popular neighborhoods, Roma Norte. Surrounded by hotels, restaurants, bars, and walking distance from some of the coolest spots in the city.”

Join us Feb 24-25 in Nashville for the AES Live Sound Training & Expo.

“…this is a bold stride outside of RND’s comfort zone, and they’re to be commended for that. More importantly, this is an incredibly versatile, beautiful‑sounding piece of kit, and it almost certainly offers something your existing gear doesn’t.”

At this year’s NAMM Show, we took home another TEC awards for the Shelford 5053 Transformer-Gain Mic Preamp & Inductor EQ, making a grand total of 23x TEC wins since the company’s inception in 2005.

Two compressors. One rack space. So many possibilities.

See you in Anaheim!

Join us for a tour of Distillery II: a Bristol-based studio & multipurpose facility for recording, rehearsal, events, and more. In addition to the 5088, other highlights include a 53 Series broadcast Neve named ‘Gertie’ and a Universal Audio 610 console that is rumored to have originally belonged to Frank Sinatra.

From Newton to summing, save big this fall with two special deals from Rupert Neve Designs, available through participating RND resellers in the USA and in Europe.
