A new version of Neve Recall software for compatible outboard units has been released which includes a firmware update to the 8801 unit. Once installed, the 8801 unit will remember the settings at the point where it is turned off – so it will power on in the same state.

The new Recall version can be downloaded from the 8801 product page (or the product pages for the 2254/R, 8803, 8804 & 8816) and installed to a PC or Mac (Intel only)

Existing users can also download a compressed file which contains all the necessary files to burn to a CD-ROM to create an up to date Recall installation CD. The compressed file can be downloaded from here.

A new version of the 4081 remote control software is available – Version 2.00.

This version introduces metering information displayed within the Remote Mic Control window, which is passed back from the 4081 unit(s) to the Remote Mic Control software running on the computer being used for remote control.

To enable the new metering feature, the 4081 firmware must be updated.
