Rupert Neve Designs 5025
- 48V: This illuminated push-button switch toggles +48V phantom power ON and OFF.
- Ø: This illuminated push-button switch inverts the polarity of the input signal.
- High Pass Filter: This illuminated push-button switch engages the 12db/octave Sallen-Key high-pass filter.
- Frequency: This 31-detent potentiometer allows the user to adjust the corner frequency of the High-Pass Filter within a range of 20Hz to 250Hz.
- SILK: This illuminated push-button switch toggles through three available modes: OFF, RED, and BLUE SILK. Red Silk has a high-frequency pre-emphasis, while Blue Silk has a low frequency pre-emphasis.
- Texture: This 31-detent potentiometer allows the user to adjust the amount of SILK harmonics added to the custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer output stage.
- Gain: This 12-position rotary switch allows the user to adjust the microphone pre-amplifier gain from 0 to +66dB in 6dB steps.
- Trim: This 31-detent potentiometer allows the user to adjust the gain of the input signal within a range of +/- 6dB.
- VU Meter: This illuminated VU meter indicates the output signal level for it’s corresponding channel. 0VU = +4dBu
- Peak: This front panel LED illuminates red to indicate when the output signal level is 3dB below clip point to warn the user that they are approaching clipping.
- VU Meter Endstop Adjust: Important: The recessed black adjuster below the VU meters come factory trimmed and should not need any further adjustment. These adjusters allow for VU meter needle bottom endstop calibration (one tick mark below -20VU).
- Power: IEC standard 3-pin grounded AC power inlet with power switch. 100-240VAC 50/60Hz input range with a maximum AC power consumption of 45W.
- Ground Lift: This slide switch can be used to help eliminate a ground loop in a studio environment, if encountered. In the LIFT position, XLR Pin 1 on MAIN OUT and -6dB OUT is disconnected from chassis ground. Each channel has its own separate ground lift.
- Main Out: Neutrik XLR jack line output utilizing custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer-coupled, balanced output. Maximum output signal level is +26.7dBu at 1kHz.
- -6dB Out: Neutrik XLR jack line output utilizing custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer-coupled, balanced output. Maximum output signal level is +20.7dBu at 1kHz.
- Mic In: Neutrik XLR jack microphone input utilizing custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer-coupled, balanced input. Maximum input signal level is +24.9dBu at 1kHz.

Rupert Neve Designs 5025 Dual Shelford Mic Pre – A Modern Classic
The 5025 Dual Shelford Mic Pre brings together decades of Rupert Neve’s legendary design expertise in a dual-channel preamplifier that blends classic tone with modern precision. Inspired by the iconic 1073, 1064, and 2254 modules, this unit embodies the next step in the evolution of world-class microphone preamplification.
Two Channels of Flagship Sound
Housed in a single rack unit with an internal power supply, the 5025 offers two channels of the award-winning Shelford preamp design. Winner of the prestigious TEC Award, it delivers unrivaled sonic quality, providing engineers and producers with two of the finest mic pres available anywhere in the world.
Vintage Character Meets Modern Accuracy
At the heart of the 5025 is a custom input transformer that provides the first 15 dB of gain, contributing to its signature character. Together with Rupert Neve’s class-A circuitry, this design captures the focused midrange and harmonic richness that have defined countless legendary recordings.
Pure Tone and Wide Frequency Response
With optimized transformer designs and full MuMetal shielding, the 5025 remains exceptionally flat from below 10 Hz to above 60 kHz. This ensures maximum clarity, versatility, and tonal integrity, whether you’re tracking delicate acoustic instruments, powerful vocals, or dynamic drums.
Silk & Texture – Shape Your Harmonics
The exclusive Silk & Texture circuit lets you dial in harmonic coloration to taste. Switch between Silk Red for added warmth or Silk Blue for enhanced clarity, tailoring your signal from pristine transparency to vintage-inspired saturation.
Dual Output Topology for Creative Flexibility
Equipped with custom output transformers, the 5025 features both Main and -6 dB outputs, giving you the ability to drive the output stage harder without clipping your converters. This dual-output design makes it easy to achieve rich transformer saturation on a wide range of sources, from vocals and guitars to drums and beyond.
