2X-/ Rupert Neve Designs Portico 511 500 Series Mic Preamp/Adesigns 500 HR - $1,050 - (Tarentum, PA)
Retiring ,Used for 1 Cd in Studio /100% feedback.This unit was only powered when needed which was approximately 2 hours/ Product DescriptionWith a big, bold preamp and the flexibility of variable Silk/Texture, Rupert Neve designed the Portico 511 to combine classic sonics with 500 Series value. Incorporating the 517's powerful preamp, the 5012's universally useful sweepable high pass filter, and the transformer-saturating power of a variable silk circuit derived from our flagship Portico II Channel, the 511 is a Rupert Neve-designed mic pre for the masses.Designed for 500 Series by Mr. Rupert NeveRupert Neve: “While creating functional 500 Series modules is relatively simple, designing those modules to equal their non-500 Series counterparts with the current, voltage and space restraints is quite challenging. In creating our Portico 500 Series modules, we experimented with a number of different transformer and circuit designs to achieve the same presence and sweetness found in the Portico Series of modules. The result of these efforts is that outside of the slightly lowered headroom, our 500 Series modules are nearly indistinguishable from standard Portico Series modules, and are perfectly suited for studios of the highest caliber.” Input SectionInput signals may be derived from mic or line sources (make sure 48V is off for line sources!). The input has a 10K O non-reactive input resistance that handles a full 22dBu signal without the need for a pad. The preamp is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability. A primary gain control provides 66dB of gain in 6dB increments for easy recall, with a +/- 6dB trim for fine adjustment. For condenser microphones and powered DIs, there is +48V phantom power. A transient-optimized HPF continuously covering the range from 20-250Hz is included to tame rumble and proximity effect.TextureOne of the key developments in the 511 is the Red Silk / Texture control from the P
