UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 250 -  Neve 33609 Compressor
Neve 33609SE
Overview The UAD Neve 33609SE is derived from the UAD Neve 33609. Its algorithm 
has been revised in order to provide sonic characteristics very similar to the 
33609 but with significantly less DSP usage. It is provided to allow 33609-
like sound when DSP resources are limited. Nobody with “golden ears” will 
claim it sounds exactly like the 33609, but it still sounds great and is very us-
able in most situations.
The 33609SE interface can be differentiated from the 33609 by color and 
the module name. The 33609SE background is black instead of the 33609’s 
blue/grey, and the module name below the link switch includes “SE”.

Controls
The Neve 33609SE controls are exactly the same as the Neve 33609. Please 
refer to the Neve 33609 section for Neve 33609SE control descriptions (see 
“Neve 33609 Controls” on page 243).
Neve 33609 Latency
The Neve 33609 (but not the 33609SE) uses an internal upsampling tech-
nique to facilitate its amazing sonic quality. This upsampling results in a 
slightly larger latency than other UAD plugins. You may enter a value in the 
“Samples” parameter in DelayComp or TrackAdv to compensate. See “Com-
pensating for Precision Maximizer and Neve 33609” on page 58 for more 
information.
The Neve 33609SE does not require additional latency compensation be-
cause it is not upsampled.
Note: Compensating for Neve 33609 is not required if the host application 
supports full plugin delay compensation throughout the signal path, or when 
it is used only on the outputs. See “Host PDC Implementation” on page 50.
