Join me as I explore the Rupert Neve Designs Newton Channel Strip in this comprehensive review. I'll walk you through its powerful mic pre, robust EQ, and unique compressor section, including the famous Rupert Neve silk circuit. Throughout the video, we'll dive into its sonic capabilities, discuss potential improvements for better flexibility and usability, and make a comparison to the iconic Shelford.

During the review, I'll point out a couple of areas where the Newton Channel Strip could benefit from enhancements. While it delivers impressive sonic performance, I believe that, given its premium price point, it should offer more flexibility. The front connectivity lacks a dedicated line input, and having only one combo XLR jack might require some fumbling at the back for connections.

Moreover, the compression controls could be enhanced with features like a variable attack time pot and a blend control for parallel compression. Additionally, sidechain filter options would open up even more creative possibilities.

Despite these points, the Newton's headroom, openness, and punchiness are undeniable, making it a worthy addition to any studio setup.

Don't miss the audio examples of different silk circuit settings on the stereo Master bus, which demonstrate the device's sonic prowess. If you're considering the Rupert Neve Newton Channel Strip, this review will provide a comprehensive look at its strengths and potential areas for improvement.
