The Rupert Neve Shelford Bundle combines the Dual Shelford Preamp with the Shelford Diode Bridge Compressor in one tonally powerful tracking and mixing package!
The Shelford Preamp can be natural and musical, to saturated and punchy. The Shelford Diode Bridge Comp can be subtle to tight and aggressive. Combine the two, and you have something that allows you to tone shape your audio with rich harmonic character. This bundle would be very well suited for Singer Songwriter recording applications, as well as recording and processing drums. Truly anything you can throw at it, it will handle, but it will really shine on dynamic material. If you want to impart rich tone and control (or accentuate) transients and punch in percussive sources, this bundle will achieve that with ease!

Rupert Neve Shelford Diode Bridge Compressor
The Rupert Neve Shelford Diode Bridge Compressor features two channels of iconic diode bridge compression, thoughtfully improved and refined for modern tracking, mixing, and mastering. Since the early 1970s, Rupert Neve’s early diode bridge compressors have been revered for the punch & glue they bring to drums, instruments, and the mix buss – but these desirable characteristics were unfortunately accompanied by inflexible controls and fairly limited versatility. Rupert Neve Designs created the 5254 Dual Diode Bridge Compressor to capture the soul of these coveted compressors while providing modern updates including advanced timing control, significantly lower noise, fully stepped controls throughout, higher voltage power rails, and internal parallel processing capabilities.
- Capture the punchy, larger-than-life tone used on countless hit records for the last 50 years.
- Custom-shape your compression envelope with the unified timing control, which enables a much wider range of responses than vintage units or clones.
- Vintage warmth meets the improved headroom and precision of Rupert Neve’s updated transformer-coupled line stages.
- Accurately recall and match your settings with precision and speed.
- Internal blend control enables you to subtly dial in more dramatic compression settings for color as desired.
- Enhanced from the vintage units’ half-wave design, the updated sidechain detector provides substantially more accuracy.
- Run your compressors in either dual mono or stereo configurations.
- EIC connection for world-wide AC power from 90-240V embedded in the 1U rack-mountable chassis.
