Rupert Neve Designs is a high-end audio equipment manufacturer based in Wimberley, Texas, founded in 2005 by the late Rupert Neve alongside Evelyn Neve and Joshua Thomas. The company represents the culmination of Rupert Neve's decades of work designing recording consoles and outboard gear — a lineage that includes his pioneering efforts at the original Neve Electronics, Focusrite, AMEK, and Siemens. The product line launched with the Portico series of modular outboard units, adapting Neve's classic circuit philosophies for a modern, modular studio workflow.

The catalog spans mic preamps, equalizers, compressors, summing mixers, and channel strips, along with the flagship 5088 analog mixing console — a large-format desk built around discrete transformer-coupled signal paths. The Shelford series, introduced in 2013, draws more directly on the sound of Neve's 1970s 80-series consoles, with products like the Shelford Channel, 5051 Inductor EQ + Compressor, and 5052 Mic Preamp. Other notable designs include the Portico II Master Buss Processor, the 5045 Primary Source Enhancer for live sound, the RMP-D8 Dante-connected mic preamp, the Newton Channel, and the Fidelice line of high-fidelity playback equipment.

The brand is known within the professional recording community for transformer-based, Class A discrete designs, custom-wound Carnhill transformers, and circuits that offer variable harmonic content through the "Silk" and "Texture" features found on many units. Rupert Neve Designs gear is widely used in commercial studios, mastering rooms, and project studios worldwide.

Rupert Neve Designs has 63 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Processors, Preamps, and Channel Strips. Their gear is featured by 80 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Tycho, Vance Powell, and Josh Dun. Most Rupert Neve Designs products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
