Customer reviews:
The Neumann PEV is a parametric EQ that very hard to find. I’ve only ever seen one of these in my life and only got to use it the one time.
UTILIZATION
Using the Neumann PEV is very simple, and as long as you have basic knowledge about how to use a parametric EQ, I think you’ll be okay.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality of the Neumann PEV is superb. It is both clean sounding and adds a bit of grit to your sound as well. The PEV is suitable for any and all genres and applications
as it is a sound that translates well and simply does its job well.
OVERALL OPINION
While the Neumann PEV is an extremely hard piece of gear to find, if you are interested in unique and rare pieces of outboard gear, this would be quite a find. I’m sure that the price would cost a lot, but I haven’t looked too deeply into the price as these are few and far between. All I can really say is that if you ever have the chance to try out the PEV, definitely give it a shot as I think you’ll be pleased with what you hear. Neumann does make a variety of other outboard gear, but the PEV is one of my favorites that I have tried.
Addenum
Not require gain make up after summing, because it has an extra low gain loss summing network, -6dB reduction relative to 0dB, also you can insert a MicPreamp on Summing SEND/RETURN TRS.
