After undergoing various ownership and management changes, it became wholly owned by Double Oscar® winner Mark, who has run the combined company since 1992.With a reputation for innovation, attention to detail and for creating the world’s finest sounding, longest-lasting analogue and digital consoles, AMS Neve stands at the pinnacle of professional audio design and engineering. Its products consistently top the desirability list among discerning artists, producers and facility owners and for more than 50 years it has driven significant technological advancements in the audio field.https://www.ams-neve.com/Robin Porter BiogRobin Porter was 18 when he joined Neve in 1973 and, apart from a brief sabbatical to study engineering and acoustics at university, he has been with the company ever since. During his career he has held a number of different positions – from working in the Test department to engineering in the custom engineering department and eventually moving into Analogue R&D.He has been instrumental in the design of many of Neve’s most iconic products including the 88 Series of consoles, the Genesys and Genesys Black consoles and the recently released 8424 summing mixer. The projects he is most proud of include designing the Aux module for Sir George Martin’s Air Monserrat console, on which he was also Test engineer, and the design of the 88R console and SP2 scoring system, which is used on 80% of all film music recorded today.
