Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5017

Rupert Neve Designs is now shipping the Portico 5017 Mobile DI/Pre/Comp, comprised of a portable chassis with Portico preamp, compressor and DI circuitry; the 5017 features two-channel operation, Vari-phase, Silk, DI/mic blending capabilities.

Based around a new LDR (light dependent resistor) design, the 5017’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 an internal jumper to change between standard and fast time constants. To set the compressor, simply dial the threshold control down until the desired amount of compression is achieved. A built-in LED indicates when the compressor is active.
