Rupert Neve Designs Portico 517
Based on the Portico 5017 Mobile Pre, the 517 provides world-class transformer-coupled micpreamp, compressor and DI circuitry, with Vari-phase, Silk and DI/mic blending capabilities in a 500 series model. As the first 500 series module designed by Mr. Rupert Neve, the 517 incorporates outstanding sonic quality with an indispensable feature set.
Key features:
- Silk: the silk button reduces negative feedback and adjusts the frequency spectrum to provide a very sweet and musical performance
- Mic Gain: 0dB to 66dB. Overall gain to restore the apparent program level
- DI Gain: 0dB to 30dB
- DI input: balanced or unbalanced Hi-Z input for instruments
- Phantom power
- Polarity reverse: reverses the polarity of the mic input
- Threshold: when signals exceed the "threshold" level, the gain is reduced at a controlled 2:1 ratio, with fixed attack and release time constants
- Indicators: Indicators on the 517 denote signal presence and clipping on both DI and mic signals, as well as compressor activation
