What's in the Box?

  • Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss Processor

  • Stereo Compressor with Advanced Controls:

    • The stereo compressor features independent threshold, ratio, attack, and release settings, allowing precise dynamic control of your mix. Its feed-forward and feed-back compression modes offer versatility in shaping the overall character of your sound.
  • Peak Limiter for Transparent Control:

    • The fast, responsive peak limiter ensures that your mix stays within desired output levels without unwanted distortion or pumping, making it perfect for mastering and high-level dynamic control.
  • Stereo Field Editor:

    • The width and depth of the stereo image can be finely adjusted, helping you create expansive, immersive mixes. The width control enhances the stereo separation, while the depth control brings out spatial elements in the mix.
  • "Silk" Mode for Harmonic Saturation:

    • The unique "Silk" mode adds vintage-inspired harmonic warmth and saturation, enhancing the richness and depth of the signal. "Silk" is available in Red (for harmonics and upper midrange focus) or Blue (for a darker, more rounded tone).
  • High-Pass Filter on Side Chain:

    • The high-pass filter in the compressor’s side chain helps prevent low-frequency energy from unnecessarily triggering the compressor, making it perfect for handling bass-heavy mixes.
  • Transformer-Coupled Outputs:

    • The transformer-coupled outputs provide classic Neve harmonic warmth, ensuring that even subtle processing adds tonal richness and musicality to your final mix.
  • Independent Left/Right or Stereo Link:

    • Can be used in stereo-linked mode for unified processing, or in dual-mono mode for more nuanced control over each side of the stereo field.
