In designing the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRupert Neve Portico II Channel Strip\u003c\/span\u003e, every possible attention has been paid towards not only producing the most accurate, sweet sounding audio topologies, but also enabling engineers to boldly shape or fine tune tracks to the limit of their imaginations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A self-powered 2U channel module comprised of a fully- featured mic preamplifier, 4-band EQ, compressor-limiter, “texture”control and level metering, The Portico II Channel includes a bevy of new features including: Variable Silk \/ Silk+ Texture control, a fully tunable “de-esser”, multiple VCA filtering and detection options, a transient-optimized swept HPF and parallel compression blending. With its simple yet powerful topologies and extensive feature set, every element of the Portico II: Channel is geared towards empowering recording artists to realize these visions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eInput Section\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Input signals may be derived from any of three sources; Microphone, Line or DI. The Microphone input has a 10K Ω non-reactive input resistance that handles a full 26dBu signal without the need for a pad. A primary Gain control provides 66dB of gain in 6dB increments for easy recall with a +\/- 6dB Trim for fine adjustment. A transient-optimized HPF continuously covering the range from 20-250Hz is included. In addition the usual 48V Phantom Power switch, Phase Inversion, Signal Present indicator and a Mute switch are included. The pre-amp is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability and which maintains a 2 dB noise figure over a wide range.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inserting a plug into the DI input, selects a 3M Ω Discrete FET DI circuit that includes the transformer-coupled pristine topography that optimizes both the microphone and DI inputs, allowing low impedance microphones and high impedance sources like electric guitars and basses to deliver their optimum performance. Primary Gain and Trim controls are fully operational. A “Thru” jack on the front panel that duplicates the unaffected source signal allows the use of an external amplifier if required. A “Line” switch selects the independent Line XLR non-reactive input circuit that includes the HPF and Level trim controls.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTexture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of the key developments in the Portico II is the new Texture section. Building on the “Silk” mode found in the Portico Series mic pre-amplifiers, Texture is designed to adjust the actual amount of harmonic music content from the source material, in effect, providing countless tonal options in one device. The texture section features distinct modes, controlled by a potentiometer from barely audible to dramatic!. With that said, we have placed great care insuring that the musical integrity of source material itself will not be compromised by these harmonic controls (these are not to be confused with controls from other manufactures that may “incinerate”, “demolish” or “destroy” source material), and we believe they can be confidently modified to fit the personality of any song, instrument or engineer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like the original Portico, Silk mode works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble Mr. Rupert Neve’s vintage designs. “Silk +” mode pushes this technique still further, achieving a more harmonically rich sound.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like the original Portico, Silk mode works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble vintage designs by Mr. Rupert Neve. Velvet mode pushes this technique further, by increasing saturation on the output transformer to achieve a more colored sound. With that said, we have placed great care insuring that the musical integrity of source material itself will not be compromised by these harmonic controls (these are not to be confused with controls that may “incinerate”, “demolish” or “destroy” source material), and we believe they can be confidently modified to fit the personality of any song, instrument or engineer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEqualizer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The EQ topologies in the 4-Band Equalizer of the Portico II combine the best-loved sound of several classic designs, but are also capable of extremely fine surgical adjustments as well as dramatic boosts or cuts. By default, the EQ section follows the mic preamplifier and HPF, and precedes the compressor, but this sequence may be reversed by engaging the Post Comp switch\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Low Shelf has an independent engage switch, Classic Peak\/ Accelerated Shelf selection, with +\/- 12dB level adjustment, and selectable turnover frequencies of 35, 60, 100, and 220 Hz. The Fully Parametric LMF and HMF bands have a joint engage switch, providing +\/- 12dB level adjustment, continuously variable “Q” from 0.7 to 5 and continuously variable frequency ranges from 70 to 1.4KHz and 700Hz to 14KHz. In addition to its standard capabilities, the HMF band can also be used to precisely tune a new De-Esser circuit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The De-Esser can be varied from off to full effect, and uses the Frequency, and “Q” controls to tame harsh sibilance in vocals and instruments with an independent high-mid limiter. Even when the De-Esser is on, the EQ level may still be used. The High Frequency shelf has independent engage switch, Classic Peak\/ Accelerated Shelf selection, +\/- 12dB level adjustment, and selectable turnover frequencies of 4.7, 6.8, 12, and 25kHz. When two Portico II Channels are used side by side, the EQ section can also excel at stereo material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCompressor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A further array of tools are used to craft dynamic response. The Portico II’s compressor section is exceptionally flexible. Like the Portico 5043, the compressor a choice of Forward Feed \/ Return Feed modes, either providing a transparent modern response, or a smoother more musical vintage response. Along with FF\/FB modes, there are also 1:1 to 40:1 ratio controls and threshold from -30dBu to +20dBu, together with Attack from 20 to 75ms (.1 ms in fast mode), Release from 100ms to 2.5s, and Make up gain from 0 to 20dB with a Stereo Link.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Portico II compressor however incorporates a number of new ways to tame or enhance dynamics. HPF to SC inserts the High Pass Filter into the side chain to deal with intense low frequencies that may skew the response of the VCA with certain songs and instruments. The “Fast” switch alters the compressor’s attack to react to transients with a roughly .1ms response time. When “fast” is disengaged, the compressor responds to the RMS signal in conjunction with the attack and release settings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Blend” works by creating a parallel mix between the compressed and dry signals. By mixing the compressed and dry signals, it is possible to increase the volume of quieter elements in the source material (for instance, delicate snare brushing on a track with much louder hits), while maintaining a natural dynamic feel for the louder elements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To further control the side chain, there is also an insert “send” and “return” that may be paired with an external EQ or other filters for additional manipulation. The “return” may also be used as a “Key” input for ducking one signal under another. (for instance, a voice-over keying the compressor to duck a background music track). By connecting the “link” jack on the back of the Portico II to another Portico II link jack and engaging the Link buttons, the compressor section may be used for stereo material.","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449247821927,"sku":"13144","price":3145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/rupert_neve_portico2_channel_strip.jpg?v=1787088301"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-portico-5033-h-5-band-eq","title":"Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5033 Five-Band EQ - Horizontal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRupert Neve Designs Portico 5033 Five Band EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e and high performance line driver is a new equalizer with the performance, features and musicality expected from Rupert Neve, the designer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5033 features Mr. Rupert Neve’s custom input and output transformer designs, five bands of EQ based on his traditional curves, -\/+12dB input level adjustment, five filter bypasses and comes available in either horizontal or vertical formats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the input and output of the 5033 lie custom designed Rupert Neve transformers, which are much of the heart of the sound of Mr Rupert Neve’s classics.

The width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambience inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, thus altering the signal that the depth, insert and EQ affect. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the 5014’s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe depth control of the 5014 adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage.

Operating entirely in the analogue domain, the Portico 5014 uses discrete component circuits, comprising a variable sum and difference network with level and phase controls, together with other key features, to affect stereo sources.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Intended for recording, mixing and mastering applications, the Portico 5014 differentiates between near field (direct) and far field (ambient) sources and allows the manipulation of the relationship between mono panned images and stereo ambience through the use of width, depth and phase controls. Source material may be further manipulated by inserting external EQ or dynamics processing into the difference channel or by engaging the simple onboard mid-band EQ.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Designed with the same half-rack dimensions as the rest of the Portico range, available in horizontal or vertical formats, and utilizing Mr. Rupert Neve’s custom transformer designs, the 5014 is a unique addition to the modern engineer’s palette that brings dimension and life to any recording.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the width circuit is engaged, the stereo signal is split into a sum and difference network, allowing the width, depth, insert and EQ controls to be used. The width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambience inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, thus altering the signal that the depth, insert and EQ affect. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the 5014’s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The depth control of the 5014 adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage.

Channels 1 \u0026amp; 2 of the 5024 feature a high-Z input designed for instrument level sources. Channels 3 \u0026amp; 4 feature an M-S switch, which enables Mid-Side decoding without the use of multiple console channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMicrophone Input\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone input is balanced but not floating, using a Transformer-Like-Amplifier (T.L.A.) configuration with a toroidal Common Mode Rejection Low Pass Filter that excludes frequencies above 150 kHz. The T.L.A. is followed by an actual input transformer designed by Mr. Neve that permits a full +25 dBu input signal to be handled at unity gain without an input pad over the whole audio spectrum. This innovative solution combines the advantages of both an electronically-balanced and true transformer input.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Phantom voltage is switched off, this input serves as a very high quality line input with an impedance of 10K Ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eLow Noise, Low Distortion Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMuch care was given in designing the 5024 to produce as little noise and non-harmonic distortion as possible. Carefully implemented signal paths and Class A operation are a large part of the 5024′s sweet, whisper-quiet performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll Portico modules use input and output transformers and almost entirely discrete component amplifiers. In fact, the Line amplifiers on their own, inserted into the signal chain, are capable of enhancing the sonic quality of many signal sources, especially those of digital origin. These are some of the factors that enable the Portico 5024 to work so unobtrusively within the context of a very high quality audio chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eWhy Transformers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine subtleties of circuit design relating to sonic performance are gradually becoming more clearly understood. For example, research has shown conclusively that frequencies above 20 kHz affect the way in which humans perceive sound quality. But long before scientific evidence emerged, a substantial body of musicians and engineers knew that equipment with apparently the same technical measurements could sound very different.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIncredibly small amounts of musically dissonant odd harmonics can have a disastrous effect on the sound quality. Extraneous noise or interference that finds its way into a signal path seriously impairs performance of the whole chain. Since many control rooms make use of outboard gear that is not well protected from external signals, poor grounding of such equipment can be a serious problem. “Electronically balanced” circuits, much-used in modern equipment, can give very good measurements on the test bench but they do not provide adequate rejection of the stray fields found in every working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo correct these issues, input and output circuits must be freed from ground dependence so that only the wanted signal enters and leaves the processing path.

As the first 500 series module designed by Mr. Rupert Neve, the 517 incorporates outstanding sonic quality with an indispensable feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMICROPHONE PREAMP AND INSTRUMENT AMPLIFIER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 517's mic pre includes 66 dB gain, and is based on the Portico 5017 design. The mic pre also incorporates a polarity reverse switch and phantom power. The separate instrument amplifier includes 30 dB of gain, a ground lift, variable phase and an instrument Thru connection.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eBLENDED USE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsed as a single channel device for instruments, the 517 can be used to phase align, combine and compress direct and amplified signals. To achieve this, use the DI for the instrument’s direct signal and the mic preamp for the speaker cabinet signal. The blend control is used for mixing direct and amplified signals to achieve the desired tonal blend between the two sources, and the variphase is used to minimize or extenuate phase cancellations between the two signals. To compress the blended signal, the internal compressor jumper must be set to the blend path (this is the default setting). This technique could also be used to create a single, mixed output of a guitar and vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE COMPRESSOR\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBased around a LDR (light dependent resister) design, the 517's opto-coupler compressor has been simplified to a single threshold control with auto make up gain. By default, the compressor is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio with fixed attack and release. To set the compressor, simply dial the threshold control down until the desired amount of compression is achieved. An LED light indicates when the compressor is active.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eVARI-PHASE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the standard polarity reverse, the 517's vari-phase control may be used to adjust phase incrementally. This control is useful any time two signals derived from the same source are combined. For instance, even with careful placement, the combination of close miced drums and overheads, can often yield hollow sounding results. By using the variable phase adjust, the direct signal can be phase rotated until the signals are naturally aligned. This technique is also extremely useful when combined with the internal blend control on instruments. A bassist, using both direct and miced signals can blend the two into a single output, using the vari-phase to reach an optimal alignment. By adjusting the phase in the 517, the musician or engineer can find the absolute best mic position without regard to the phase relation to the direct signal.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eSILK\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMuch could be written about this feature, suffice to say, that it gives a subtle option to enhance sound quality in the direction of vintage modules.

Some compressors use tubes, some use FETs, some use light-dependent resistors, some use a diode bridge – but in the 543, a VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier \/ Attenuator) is used to control the signal’s gain. In contrast to a diode bridge design like the 535 compressor, which adds a thick, very colorful tonality to the source, the 543 makes use of a very accurate, low noise, low distortion VCA. This provides an immense amount of dynamic control and subtle warmth, without necessarily leaving a heavy sonic imprint on your tracks or mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eFEED-FORWARD OR FEED-BACK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis switch changes the point in the signal path where the VCA control voltage is picked off: either before the VCA (feed-forward) or after the VCA (feed-back). In most of Mr. Neve’s earliest designs, feed-back detection was intrinsic to the musical dynamic response. However, the very nature of a feedback compressor limits the attack time of the compression circuit, as the control voltage has already passed through the VCA itself. To offer faster, more technically accurate response times, feed-forward detection was also implemented in the 543: with the FF \/ FB switch, both classic and modern VCA responses are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eRMS OR PEAK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother highly useful features of the 543 is the Peak \/ RMS mode, which allows the VCA to respond to both RMS (Root Mean Square) and peak levels. RMS circuits are considered to better mimic the way the ears perceive apparent loudness, while peak circuits tend to directly respond to the waveform voltage, which may be more of a concern for prevention of clipping and maximizing levels. In the case of this particular circuit, peak mode actually uses a combination of both methods to get the best of both worlds, and avoids the drawbacks of each method on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449357430887,"sku":"17033","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/rupert-neve-designs-portico-543_17033_1.jpg?v=1787088691"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-portico-5012-h-duo-mic-pre-demo-deal","title":"Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5012-H Duo Mic Pre (Demo Deal)","description":"The \u003cb\u003eRupert Neve Portico™ 5012\u003c\/b\u003e is a dual channel mic pre featuring Mr. Rupert Neve’s custom input and output transformer designs.

For example, research has shown conclusively that frequencies above 20 kHz affect the way in which humans perceive sound quality.

The width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambience inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, thus altering the signal that the depth, insert and EQ affect. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the 5014’s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe depth control of the 5014 adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage.

The texture section features distinct modes, controlled by a potentiometer from barely audible to dramatic!. With that said, we have placed great care insuring that the musical integrity of source material itself will not be compromised by these harmonic controls (these are not to be confused with controls from other manufactures that may “incinerate”, “demolish” or “destroy” source material), and we believe they can be confidently modified to fit the personality of any song, instrument or engineer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like the original Portico, Silk mode works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble Mr. Rupert Neve’s vintage designs. “Silk +” mode pushes this technique still further, achieving a more harmonically rich sound.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like the original Portico, Silk mode works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble vintage designs by Mr. Rupert Neve.

By default, the EQ section follows the mic preamplifier and HPF, and precedes the compressor, but this sequence may be reversed by engaging the Post Comp switch\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Low Shelf has an independent engage switch, Classic Peak\/ Accelerated Shelf selection, with +\/- 12dB level adjustment, and selectable turnover frequencies of 35, 60, 100, and 220 Hz. The Fully Parametric LMF and HMF bands have a joint engage switch, providing +\/- 12dB level adjustment, continuously variable “Q” from 0.7 to 5 and continuously variable frequency ranges from 70 to 1.4KHz and 700Hz to 14KHz.

The High Frequency shelf has independent engage switch, Classic Peak\/ Accelerated Shelf selection, +\/- 12dB level adjustment, and selectable turnover frequencies of 4.7, 6.8, 12, and 25kHz.

The Portico II’s compressor section is exceptionally flexible. Like the Portico 5043, the compressor a choice of Forward Feed \/ Return Feed modes, either providing a transparent modern response, or a smoother more musical vintage response. Along with FF\/FB modes, there are also 1:1 to 40:1 ratio controls and threshold from -30dBu to +20dBu, together with Attack from 20 to 75ms (.1 ms in fast mode), Release from 100ms to 2.5s, and Make up gain from 0 to 20dB with a Stereo Link.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Portico II compressor however incorporates a number of new ways to tame or enhance dynamics. HPF to SC inserts the High Pass Filter into the side chain to deal with intense low frequencies that may skew the response of the VCA with certain songs and instruments. The “Fast” switch alters the compressor’s attack to react to transients with a roughly .1ms response time. When “fast” is disengaged, the compressor responds to the RMS signal in conjunction with the attack and release settings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Blend” works by creating a parallel mix between the compressed and dry signals.

Additionally, the MBP incorporates mastering grade detented pots throughout to fine tune its revolutionary dynamics, tone, and stereo field controls. This new topology is a significant evolution of Mr Rupert Neve’s classic designs with appreciable benefits to headroom, dynamic range, distortion, noise, slew rate, bandwidth, and accuracy while still providing for the sweet, musical performance that has been a part of countless recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eThe Compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe MBP’s two compressor sections allow virtually limitless possibilities in dynamics for either dual mono or stereo sources, with controls for ratio, threshold, attack, release, blend, side chain HPF, limit and make up gain. With the stereo link control engaged, Ch. A settings act as the master control for convenient operation. When engaged, the compressor section can be used in both feed-forward and feed-back modes to provide a transparent modern response (feed-forward), or a smoother more musical vintage response (feed-back). Peak mode alters the compressor’s attack to react to peak transients with a roughly 0.1ms response time. When the Peak switch is disengaged, the compressor responds to the RMS signal in conjunction with the attack and release settings. SC HPF inserts a high pass filter at 250 Hz into the side chain to deal with intense low frequencies that may skew the response of the VCA with certain songs and instruments. “Blend” creates a parallel mix between the compressed and dry signals. By mixing the compressed and dry signals, it is possible to increase the volume of quieter elements in the source material (for instance, delicate snare brushing on a track with much louder hits), while maintaining a natural dynamic feel for the louder elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo further control the side chain, there is also an insert “send” and “return” that may be paired with an external EQ or other filters for additional manipulation. The “return” may also be used as a “Key” input for ducking one signal to another (for instance, a voice-over keying the compressor to duck a background music track).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eThe Limiter\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Portico II Master Buss Processor also features an extremely versatile, transparent and musical limiter. At first glance, one might scoff at the single knob operation, however this limiter is extremely intelligent, knowing how to appropriately respond to the various signals presented to it. Our new Adaptive Release Technology is behind this revolutionary performance. Using a blend of release time constants, this limiter will simultaneously respond quickly to transient material (such as the “snap” of a snare drum) and slowly to more sluggish signals (such as a bass guitar). This configuration allows the limiter to grab a transient and let go just an instant later, while also dealing with more constant signals in a slower, more musical way. In this manner, the MBP Limiter can provide a much more aggressive amount of limiting than typically possible, while maintaining the essential character of the music and remaining free of the modulation distortion usually found in a fast acting limiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTypically there is a tradeoff between how fast limiter can react and the amount of modulation distortion in the lower frequencies. This is due to the lower frequencies finding their way into the side chain signal, triggering the compressor on and off very quickly, which ends up modulating the overall signal. This is interesting to look at with sine waves, but sounds quite undesirable with music. The MBP does not have this tradeoff, and one is able to have the best of both worlds: a quick, snappy response while maintaining the integrity and smoothness of the low end. In addition to the adaptive time constant circuitry, the release time is also varied with the position of the knob. As the knob is turned counter clock-wise, the release time is increased accordingly, as typically one would want a longer release time with a larger amount of reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe new limiter found in the MBP is designed to respond as fast as .03 mS in order to reduce the first half of a 20 kHz waveform over the threshold. It has a “medium knee” initial ratio and within 3 dB of the threshold attains a better than 10:1 ratio. A soft clipper circuit catches transients that may have been in the “knee” when the threshold knob is set quite high. Both the limiter and soft clipper are switched out of circuit with the knob is fully clockwise. The release times are fully automatic and adjust depending both on the average depth of limiting and the duration of the transients above the threshold. The limiters share the same discrete, class-A gain module and VCA with the compressors, so using the Limiter does not introduce more stages that the music would have to pass through. This combination of features provides exceptionally transparent limiting, and often allows twice as much gain reduction compared to other limiters before objectionable artifacts become apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eThe Stereo Field Editor\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe stereo field editor on the MBP takes traditional M-S techniques to new heights with width, depth and corresponding bandpass filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambiance inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, often resulting in more ambient material, and accentuated stereo reverbs. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the stereo field editor′s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe depth control of the MBP adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage. Center-panned elements like solo instrument or vocal can be brought forward in a mix, in relation to supporting instruments. In many cases, these same elements may be virtually eliminated without adversely affecting the music bed. Used in conjunction, the depth and width controls effectively alter the perceived room ambience and dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo fine tune the SFE, there are individual filters that allow a fine tuning of what information is reintroduced from the width and depth circuits, thus tailoring each effect to a specific bandwidth. For example, if one wanted to increase the amount of low frequencies in the center image, engaging the SFE Depth and Depth EQ, set to LF, would filter out everything in the Mid signal except what is below the filter point (in this case, 250 Hz), and once reintroduced to the original would result in a perceived increase in the low frequencies in the center image. It is also possible to do the same thing with the Width EQ, except instead of boosting the width, cutting it, which removes low frequencies from the Sides, tightening up the low frequency perception in the center. Using the Width EQ again, this time set to HM (or LM as the case may be), increasing the amount of band-passed Side information can provide a wonderful spreading of instruments, reverberation and background vocals, giving the illusion that the sounds are spread further out, enveloping the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother technique available on the SFE is routing the Mid and Side signals to the Channel A and Channel B compressors, respectively. Now whatever amount of Depth or Width is introduced is first routed to the compressors, allowing the user to utilize the compressor features on the Mid and Side information. Now it is possible to not only increase the side information, but to utilize the compressor to bring up some of the low level side information, or allow the user to tame an overly expressive lead singer. With the addition of using the EQ section on the Depth and Width, a wide range of tools is available to the engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449389674599,"sku":"18927","price":3595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/rupert_neve_portico_ii_master_buss_compressor_1.jpg?v=1787088819"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-portico-8-channel-rack-unloaded-used","title":"Rupert Neve Designs Portico 8-Channel Rack - Unloaded (Used)","description":"Like new unit.","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449403797607,"sku":"15975","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_rupert_neve_designs_portico_8_ch_rack-unloaded_2_ef70851b-e46b-42e7-a25b-e85a7eb3216c.jpg?v=1787088869"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-5059-satellite","title":"Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt around many of the topologies and custom transformers made famous with the 5088 mixer and Portico II Series, the \u003cstrong\u003eRupert Neve Designs 5059\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to deliver the ultimate “out of the box” sonics and ergonomics in a 2U, rack-mountable chassis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach  5059 features 16 channels with individual level, pan, inserts, stereo-2  sends, and master texture controls, providing easy integration with  outboard equipment, complete control for two separate stem mixes, and  the ability to dial in analog mojo in two modes.

Additionally, the MBP incorporates mastering grade detented pots throughout to fine tune its revolutionary dynamics, tone, and stereo field controls. This new topology is a significant evolution of Mr Rupert Neve’s classic designs with appreciable benefits to headroom, dynamic range, distortion, noise, slew rate, bandwidth, and accuracy while still providing for the sweet, musical performance that has been a part of countless recordings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Compressor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The MBP’s two compressor sections allow virtually limitless possibilities in dynamics for either dual mono or stereo sources, with controls for ratio, threshold, attack, release, blend, side chain HPF, limit and make up gain. With the stereo link control engaged, Ch. A settings act as the master control for convenient operation. When engaged, the compressor section can be used in both feed-forward and feed-back modes to provide a transparent modern response (feed-forward), or a smoother more musical vintage response (feed-back). Peak mode alters the compressor’s attack to react to peak transients with a roughly .1ms response time. When the Peak switch is disengaged, the compressor responds to the RMS signal in conjunction with the attack and release settings. SC HPF inserts a high pass filter at 250 Hz into the side chain to deal with intense low frequencies that may skew the response of the VCA with certain songs and instruments. “Blend” creates a parallel mix between the compressed and dry signals. By mixing the compressed and dry signals, it is possible to increase the volume of quieter elements in the source material (for instance, delicate snare brushing on a track with much louder hits), while maintaining a natural dynamic feel for the louder elements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To further control the side chain, there is also an insert “send” and “return” that may be paired with an external EQ or other filters for additional manipulation. The “return” may also be used as a “Key” input for ducking one signal to another (for instance, a voice-over keying the compressor to duck a background music track).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Limiter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Portico II Master Buss Processor also features an extremely versatile, transparent and musical limiter. At first glance, one might scoff at the single knob operation, however this limiter is extremely intelligent, knowing how to appropriately respond to the various signals presented to it. Our new Adaptive Release Technology is behind this revolutionary performance. Using a blend of release time constants, this limiter will simultaneously respond quickly to transient material (such as the “snap” of a snare drum) and slowly to more sluggish signals (such as a bass guitar). This configuration allows the limiter to grab a transient and let go just an instant later, while also dealing with more constant signals in a slower, more musical way. In this manner, the MBP Limiter can provide a much more aggressive amount of limiting than typically possible, while maintaining the essential character of the music and remaining free of the modulation distortion usually found in a fast acting limiter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Typically there is a tradeoff between how fast limiter can react and the amount of modulation distortion in the lower frequencies. This is due to the lower frequencies finding their way into the side chain signal, triggering the compressor on and off very quickly, which ends up modulating the overall signal. This is interesting to look at with sine waves, but sounds quite undesirable with music. The MBP does not have this tradeoff, and one is able to have the best of both worlds: a quick, snappy response while maintaining the integrity and smoothness of the low end. In addition to the adaptive time constant circuitry, the release time is also varied with the position of the knob. As the knob is turned counter clock-wise, the release time is increased accordingly, as typically one would want a longer release time with a larger amount of reduction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The new limiter found in the MBP is designed to respond as fast as .03 mS in order to reduce the first half of a 20 kHz waveform over the threshold. It has a “medium knee” initial ratio and within 3 dB of the threshold attains a better than 10:1 ratio. A soft clipper circuit catches transients that may have been in the “knee” when the threshold knob is set quite high. Both the limiter and soft clipper are switched out of circuit with the knob is fully clockwise. The release times are fully automatic and adjust depending both on the average depth of limiting and the duration of the transients above the threshold. The limiters share the same discrete, class-A gain module and VCA with the compressors, so using the Limiter does not introduce more stages that the music would have to pass through. This combination of features provides exceptionally transparent limiting, and often allows twice as much gain reduction compared to other limiters before objectionable artifacts become apparent.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Stereo Field Editor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The stereo field editor on the MBP takes traditional M-S techniques to new heights with width, depth and corresponding bandpass filters.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambiance inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, often resulting in more ambient material, and accentuated stereo reverbs. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the stereo field editor′s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The depth control of the MBP adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage. Center-panned elements like solo instrument or vocal can be brought forward in a mix, in relation to supporting instruments. In many cases, these same elements may be virtually eliminated without adversely affecting the music bed. Used in conjunction, the depth and width controls effectively alter the perceived room ambience and dimension.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To fine tune the SFE, there are individual filters that allow a fine tuning of what information is reintroduced from the width and depth circuits, thus tailoring each effect to a specific bandwidth. For example, if one wanted to increase the amount of low frequencies in the center image, engaging the SFE Depth and Depth EQ, set to LF, would filter out everything in the Mid signal except what is below the filter point (in this case, 250 Hz), and once reintroduced to the original would result in a perceived increase in the low frequencies in the center image. It is also possible to do the same thing with the Width EQ, except instead of boosting the width, cutting it, which removes low frequencies from the Sides, tightening up the low frequency perception in the center. Using the Width EQ again, this time set to HM (or LM as the case may be), increasing the amount of band-passed Side information can provide a wonderful spreading of instruments, reverberation and background vocals, giving the illusion that the sounds are spread further out, enveloping the listener.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Another technique available on the SFE is routing the Mid and Side signals to the Channel A and Channel B compressors, respectively. Now whatever amount of Depth or Width is introduced is first routed to the compressors, allowing the user to utilize the compressor features on the Mid and Side information. Now it is possible to not only increase the side information, but to utilize the compressor to bring up some of the low level side information, or allow the user to tame an overly expressive lead singer. With the addition of using the EQ section on the Depth and Width, a wide range of tools is available to the engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449479983207,"sku":"26037","price":4699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/rupert_neve_portico_ii_master_buss_compressor_1_1_ff0de635-128e-4858-900e-c7f09b60a137.jpg?v=1787089118"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-portico-517-used","title":"Rupert Neve Designs Portico 517 (Used)","description":"Based on the Portico 5017 Mobile Pre, the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRupert Neve Designs Portico 517\u003c\/span\u003e \nprovides world class, transformer-coupled preamp, compressor and DI \ncircuitry, with Vari-phase, Silk and DI\/mic blending capabilities in a \n500 series model.

The “Fast”  switch alters the compressor’s attack to react to transients with a  roughly .1ms response time. When “fast” is disengaged, the compressor  responds to the RMS signal in conjunction with the attack and release  settings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Blend” works by creating a parallel mix between the  compressed and dry signals.

The “return” may also be used  as a “Key” input for ducking one signal under another. (for instance, a  voice-over keying the compressor to duck a background music track). By  connecting the “link” jack on the back of the Portico II to another  Portico II link jack and engaging the Link buttons, the compressor  section may be used for stereo material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449495285863,"sku":"18820","price":2695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_rupert_neve_designs_portico_ii_channel_strip_1.jpg?v=1787089200"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-portico-5042-42e0504-used","title":"Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5042 #42E0504 (Used)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second in an ever expanding series of all-analogue products designed  to be used either individually, or as one of the principal sound  control elements of an integrated Portico™ system.

The width control enables the user to increase or decrease the width of a stereo image (wide\/mono) and adjust the amount of ambience inherent in the recording. As the width control is rotated toward wide, the amount of difference material is boosted, thus altering the signal that the depth, insert and EQ affect. Conversely, the stereo field is contracted when rotated to mono, and, if the left and right channels are highly coherent (i.e. both channels include closely similar material that is in phase), this mono content is enhanced. If the phase of one of the input channels is then reversed the mono content may be virtually eliminated. Because the amount of effect the width control has is entirely dependent on the amount of stereo information in the original source material and the interplay between the 5014’s other controls, listening and experimentation are essential for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The depth control of the 5014 adjusts the spatial positioning of elements in the sound stage.

As the saturation level increases, the level on the “record” head rises, and the replay gain is reduced so that the overall output signal level remains more or less constant. In a real tape recorder, you would adjust the record and replay gain controls separately – however, in the 542 the record and replay gain controls are coupled so that the overall signal level only varies as the “Tape” saturation level changes. As you approach maximum saturation setting, the output signal level will drop due to the effect of extreme saturation and soft clip. Additionally, to compensate for low frequency loss at low “record head” levels, the saturation knob also controls a low frequency compensation circuit that boosts low frequencies more at low saturation levels, and tapers off at higher levels. This function can be useful on many sources like bass and kick drum to find the balance between a clean, boosted low end (low saturation) and a denser, more saturated low end (high saturation).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e15\/30 IPS: Selects the pre-emphasis \/ de-emphasis, record \/ replay tape characteristic.

This allows the engineer to dial in a subtle amount of the tape effect, to better control the amount of saturation, tone and soft clipping in the post blend signal. As the signal gets more saturated, dialing back the blend can be a great way to impart the feel of tape, while maintaining a similar level of detail and transparency.
