London’s Abbey Road studios has selected AMS Neve to supply its latest recording console.

The 60-channel Neve 88RS analogue console replaces an older model supplied by AMS Neve over 20 years ago.

AMS Neve has a longstanding link with Abbey Road after managing director Mark Crabtree took a sample of his first ever product there 33 years ago.

Crabtree said: “I took a day off work and drove to London with my business partner and our wives, determined to show Paul McCartney our prototype.”

Thankfully, McCartney was at the studios and was sufficiently impressed to order one.
