This rare Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5042 is a highly sought-after collector's item. Built during the lifetime of the legendary Rupert Neve himself, this incredibly unique unit belongs to the prestigious Portico series.
A standout feature is the selectable 7.5 and 15 IPS tape speed settings - giving it a distinct advantage over the later 542 modules. By running the entire signal through a genuine tape-head inductor, it delivers authentic, fully inducted saturation alongside that iconic, velvety "Silk" harmonic texture.
Beyond tape emulation, it serves as an exceptional line driver. The custom-designed transformers offer pure sonic magic, working seamlessly alongside the continuous, precision front-panel controls. Don't miss out on this pristine piece of audio history - it won't stay available for long!
This piece has always been in a studio rack, connected though a power conditioner. This piece has always been in a pet free, smoke free studio and taken very good care of.
Piece is practically new.
