The console includes Neve's respected mic preamplifiers and analog circuit design. The base configuration offers 16 channels of mic/line preamps; 16-channel DAW monitoring; 16-channel analog summing at mixdown; DAW control for Pro Tools, Logic, Nuendo and others; eight auxiliary buses; eight group buses; two main outputs, four effects returns; comprehensive metering; 5.1 monitoring; two cue mixes; talkback services; and an internal power supply.

Genesys can be expanded to feature over 60 channels in a straight or articulated frame. Options include motorized fader automation, recall, mastering-grade A/D and D/A converters, digitally-controlled EQ and dynamics, and remote mic amp control.

The console's stand and frame were developed in conjunction with studio designer Roger D'Arcy of Recording Architecture in London. Genesys is expected to ship before the end of the year.
