Neve® Dynamics Collection
-
Two legendary British compressors, powering decades of Neve sound.
The Neve Dynamics Collection gives you fully-endorsed end-to-end emulations of Neve's most cherished dynamics hardware — the Neve 2254/E and refreshed 33609/C limiter/compressors — exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces.
Get the world's only authentic plug-in emulations of Neve's iconic 2254/E and 33609/C limiter/compressors
Mix with the 2254/E, the famed compression module from Neve's iconic 80 series consoles
Shape with the updated Neve 33609/C using new Sidechain Filter, Dry/Wet Mix, and Fast/Slow Attack controls
Easily add weight, thickness, and tone on individual tracks and buses
Sculpt with custom Attack and Release settings not found on the original Neve 2254/E
Mix with artist presets from Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton), Damian Taylor (The Killers, Björk), Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum), and more
Neve 2254/E. The Heart of the 80 Series Console
A vital ingredient to the original Neve 80 series consoles, the 2254 limiter/compressor modules' creamy dynamics was employed on thousands of hit records — adding weight and color to instrument groups and individual tracks. Using a diode‑bridge topology, the Neve 2254/E features separate compression and limiting circuits, and is perfect for "toning up" while applying dynamics control to any source.
A Painstaking Emulation
By studying historical schematics and original Neve 80 series service manuals, UA's team of engineers captured every nook and cranny of this prized piece of British kit. The Neve 2254/E Limiter and Compressor plug-in nails the original hardware's complex amp/filter behaviors, giving your individual tracks and stereo buses the same colorful, rich British compression of the classic Neve module. Plus, shape stereo buses even further using the Neve 2254/E Dual, with independent L/R parameter control.
Mix Bus Royalty. The Neve 33609/C
Sporting more transparency and flexibility than the Neve 2254/E, but still flaunting fat, unmistakably British diode‑bridge dynamics control, the Neve 33609/C has been strapped across the mix bus of chart topping hits since the '70s. From gentle coloration to brickwall limiting, this workhorse dynamics processor is a professional go‑to not only for music production, but also mastering, post, and broadcast applications.
New 33609 Features
With new "plug‑in only" features like Sidechain Filter, Dry/Wet Mix for easy parallel processing, and Fast/Slow Compress Attack switch, you can sculpt stereo instrument buses and your mix bus with startling precision and unmistakable Neve tone.
“The Neve 2254/E plug-in nails the classic, chunky sound of the hardware. Plus, its expanded controls let you transcend the creative possibilities of the original.”
– Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, The Killers)“The UAD Neve 2254/E's smooth compression is exactly what I’ve been missing!”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)“The UAD Neve 33609/C is one of my top choices for parallel or mix bus compression.”
– David Isaac (Prince, Marcus Miller, Eric Clapton)“The Neve 2254/E plug-in is a perfect parallel compressor for drums. It's one of my favorite compressors for backing vocals, and keeps them tight and upfront.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)“The Neve 33609/C plug-in is incredible on piano, organ or your drum bus. Basically, anywhere you want that Neve color.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, The Doobie Brothers)“The Neve 2254/E plug‑in captures all the gooshy goodness of the original hardware. And with excellent updates like Wet/Dry control and faster release times, it's a real go-to for the mix bus.”
– Mike Poole (Robert Plant, Martina McBride, Buddy Miller)“When I think thumpy, vintage, punchy drums, I think of the Neve 2254/E. The UAD version absolutely nails it. An amazing sonic tool.”
– Chris Zane (Passion Pit, St. Lucia, Holy Ghost!)“The updated UAD Neve 33609/C Compressor offers a more precise, nuanced level of control, breathing new life into this plug‑in.”
– Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, The Killers)“When you want to add style, color, and size, use the Neve 2254/E plug-in. It’s the classic recipe for vibe, especially on vocals and bass.”
– David Isaac (Prince, Marcus Miller, Eric Clapton)“The Neve 33609/C plug-in delivers the same punchy tone and controlled dynamics of the hardware. The updated version offers new controls for even more flexibility.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)“The Neve 2254/E compressor/limiter set the bar in the '70s for the "Neve sound." The UAD plug-in sets the bar for that same sound, in the box.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, The Doobie Brothers)Customer Reviews

Was missing this the first time around. Great Sound!
I have many compression plugins, this gave me something new to use, it is unique and sounds great. I like the soft knee that I can get and how simple it is to use. I wish I had grabbed this one sooner.

Instant Glue
I always start a mix with the UAD SSL G-Bus to dial in my snare, and recently demoed the Neve. Right out the gate I got another flavor at the default setting. Brings the side image (for me guitars) to the front while preserving the snare transients. No guesswork here. Purchased it rather quickly!

The best bus compressor!
Excellent in everything! Drums, acoustic guitars, basses and voices

Control the Dynamics and achieve SSL and API like Compression Sound
The diode components add odd harmonics to the sound and controls one of the depth parameters called Dynamics to achieve SSL and API like Compression sound

Love the shine in 33609
Have been using a number of other bus compressors when I tried the 33609 - it now will be my go to bus compressor for vocals and certain instruments.

Neve Dynamics Collection — Pure power for the price!
This package is outstanding. Both the Neve 2254/E and the 33609/C in one package. Wow. The way these two are emulated is immaculate; a testament to the staff at UA. Both of them sound as close the hardware as you can get. So useful; so well done!

Perfect compression combo
This bundle is the perfect combo. The 2254 adds weight and smooth compression to anything you put through it and the 33609 provides the perfect glue for any bus compression. Highly recommend!
A. Giroux
So far so good
So far i’ve only experimented with it. From what I hear from just fooling around and trying various settings I’m most certain that this will fit perfect in some of my tracks and mixes. Great add on to my plugin arsenal.
