Ampli Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss Processor
The Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss Processor provides two linkable channels of compression and mid/side equalization based upon the circuitry of the Neve designed 5088 mixer. While designed as a master buss solution for both project and professional studios alike, the Portico II MBP offers you a range of control over all the features of this 2 rack unit making it optimal for recording and mastering as well as mixing.
Built to Neve's specifications, the Portico II MPB combines the classic warm tone of the Neve consoles of the 1970's with a few modernizations in design, such as mastering grade dented pots allowing for an increased headroom and dynamic range in comparison to his vintage gear. The customizable signal flow and straightforward parameters of both the compression and equalization components are geared towards analog gear users and those who want to add analog warmth to their digital or "in the box" mixes.
