The Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Bus Processor is a versatile and powerful tool designed for enhancing and refining audio in mastering and stereo field processing applications. Here are some of its key features and capabilities:
Custom Transformers:
The unit features custom input and output transformers designed by Rupert Neve himself, which contribute to its sonic character and quality.
Dual-Channel Compressor:
Each channel of the Portico II Master Bus Processor is equipped with a versatile compressor, offering controls for ratio, threshold, attack, release, blend, sidechain highpass filter, limiting, and makeup gain. This allows you to finely adjust the dynamics of your audio.
Linking Compressors:
You can choose to use the two compressors independently or link them with the push of a button, providing flexibility in stereo processing.
Silk Texture Control:
The Silk Texture control offers Red/Blue modes, allowing you to introduce classic Neve harmonic warmth to your audio.
Parallel Processing:
A blend control enables parallel processing, allowing you to mix the dry signal with the compressed signal. This preserves transients while adding desired compression effects.
1-Knob Limiter:
The 1-knob limiter is designed to be easy to use and features Adaptive Release Technology. It helps prevent clipping and maintains natural-sounding dynamics. You can also blend the compressed and dry signals for parallel limiting.
Sidechain Inserts:
The Portico II Master Bus Processor provides sidechain inserts for both compressors, giving you the ability to introduce external processing or apply sidechain effects creatively.
Stereo Field Editor:
In stereo mode, the unit includes a Stereo Field Editor, which employs Mid/Side stereo manipulation techniques. This allows you to adjust the width, depth, and ambience of your stereo bus, making it a valuable tool for mastering and subgroup manipulation.
Vintage and Modern Compression Modes:
You can choose between vintage-style feed-back and modern feed-forward compression modes, providing options to achieve different compression characteristics.
Rupert Neve Legacy:
The Portico II Master Bus Processor continues Rupert Neve’s legacy of designing high-quality audio equipment. It incorporates Class A signal processing and 72V topology, ensuring excellent sound quality and ample headroom.
This processor is well-suited for professionals and enthusiasts who require precise control over dynamics and stereo field manipulation in their audio projects. It’s designed to add a touch of Neve’s legendary warmth and precision to your audio processing chain.
