Professional audio equipment world leaders AMS Neve are celebrating box office success after their technology was used on the latest Harry Potter blockbuster. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 had its score recorded at Abbey Road on a Neve 88RS analogue console by Peter Cobbin, and mixed on the DFC Gemini by Peter Cobbin and Sam Okell. Post-production was completed on the 1,000 signal path DFC Gemini by Mike Dowson, Stuart Hilliker, and Adam Scrivener during an intensive six-week mixing process at De Lane Lea in London.

Mark Crabtree, managing director of AMS Neve, said: “The AMS Neve DFC Gemini console was chosen for its huge input capability and unmatched sound, which makes it the perfect solution to cope with such a demanding project.

“We were thrilled to be able to contribute towards such a phenomenal worldwide success as the Harry Potter series and we’re delighted with the finished product.”

The final instalment in the record-breaking Harry Potter franchise made history with the biggest opening weekend ever, grossing around $476m worldwide in its first two days, with ticket sales set to exceed £1 billion.

AMS Neve consoles were used to produce 80% of this year’s Oscar™- winning movies, including The King’s Speech, Black Swan, The Social Network, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3 and Inception, and all of the 2011 BAFTA-winning films.
