Rupert Neve Designs – distribution via Airplay

Under the label Airplay – Signature Sound I offer a curated selection of Rupert Neve Designs outboard for studio and live applications. I work with these tools myself and only recommend gear that has proven itself on tours, festivals and in demanding studio sessions.

Instead of an anonymous online shop you get personal advice: we talk about your setup, workflow and budget – and from that I put together a tailored purchase or rental offer for your production.
