Rupert Neve Designs Portico 511 500 Series Microphone Preamp

The Rupert Neve Designs Portico 511 Mic Pre combines some of the best features of leading Neve channels, including the 517 preamp, and the 5012’s sweepable High-Pass Filter. The Portico 511 is a great addition to any recording studio's 500 series rack, an extremely versatile preamplifier that is suitable for any application.

This transformer based, Class-A preamp can have up to 66 dB of dynamic range, each click of the preamp is in 6 dB increments for easy recall. The 511 is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability, this gives the 511 its signature Neve sound quality with very musical harmonic distortion. With the 511, the Texture control allows the preamp to be pushed even further, adding about 10 times the desirable THD of the original signal. A trim pot is included on the front panel for the perfect input to the preamp.

Features:
  • 517 Mic/Line Preamp circuit
  • 5012 Sweepable High-Pass Filter / 20 Hz - 250 Hz
  • Class A, Transformer based Preamp
  • 66dB of Dynamic Range
  • 6dB increments per click
  • Trim Pot ±6 dB for fine adjustments
  • TLA non-reactive design prevents unwanted distortion
  • 48 V Phantom power for active DIs or Condenser Microphones
  • Front Panel VU meter
  • Phase Flip Button
  • Texture Control - adding up to 10 times the amount of THD

Product Overview
The Rupert Neve Designs 511 mic pre module puts the Portico sound into your 500 Series rack. With 72dB of available gain and variable Texture/Silk control, the 511 interfaces beautifully with any microphone and lets you dial in exactly as much (or as little) extra harmonic love as you want. The variable high-pass filter provides an easy way to roll out unwanted bass right from the get-go, clearing out the mud and making room for everything else in the mix. At mix time, knock the gain down to unity and send line level signals into the 511 to take advantage of the mojo of the Silk circuit, dropping your tracks into a deep vintage well you won't want to pull them out of.
