Genesys Black’s ground-breaking design incorporates the Neve industry revered analogue circuit design alongside the AMS world-leading digital control technology. The result? The perfect console for today’s hybrid studios.

Total Studio Integration
There’s a ‘classic Neve’ look and feel to the console, but get closer and you’ll see it's ultra modern too. The benefits go far beyond letting you customize your set up to suit the way you work. It also means every routing decision and every switch setting can be saved and instantaneously reset. Add the legendary sounding Neve analogue EQ and optional dynamics cassettes and you can instantly recall these settings too. Just think of the reconfiguration time that saves when you’re juggling multiple projects in your studio.
