Neve V R-72
Little is documented about the Neve V R-72. The archive holds no brochure, service manual, or factory specification sheet for it. What the record shows is a handful of used-equipment classified listings in Mix magazine, where the console appears as the “VR72” or “VR 72.”
A “Vintage Used” classified in Mix (May 1994, p.183) offered a “1989 Neve VR72/60” - a 60-input frame, loaded, with Flying Faders - at $285,000. Five months later, another dealer listed a “Neve VR 72/64 w/FF,” the 64-input version with Flying Faders, at $310,000 (Mix, October 1994, p.199). The model was still showing up in a dealer’s vintage stock list as late as December 2002 (Mix, December 2002, p.196).
Almost nothing else is recorded. The original list price, production years, circuit details, and the exact relationship between the 60- and 64-input frames are all undocumented. What the listings do show is a large-format professional recording console, a fully loaded Neve desk priced accordingly on the mid-1990s used market, with no formal paper trail.
