Description
Rupert Neve Portico 5017 is a 1-channel preamp/compressor that’s dripping with classic British vibe! Rupert Neve has had a huge hand in shaping what we know as the modern recording studio. The Rupert Neve Designs Portico series, continued here with the Portico 5017, makes the Neve sound available to project and professional studio owners alike. The DI input and the mic pre can be used simultaneously. And the 5017 also has a blend control, that can be used to combine and compress the direct and amplified signals. The 5017 gives you everything you want from a Rupert Neve box, but in an easily portable unit.
