I was appalled at the level of disinterest in audio within the 'board'

Neve produced generally good sounding designs, but the quality of some
components was dreadful. Switches, pots and relays mainly.

Funny considering they spent lots of money on pots and relays and stuck with
the same design of switch intentionally for decades.


Often wore out after about 2 years broadcast use - not what you'd expect
from top dollar
prices.

That's an atypical experience.

What console model(s) ?
