Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5051 Inductor EQ/Compressor Now Shipping

February 25th, 2012 by

The Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5051 EQ/Compressor module, first announced last October at AES 2011, has begun shipping.

The RND 5051 is the latest addition to the RND 5088 family.

According to RND, the Portico 5051 is comprised of a new inductor EQ circuit with a long heritage, and a compressor with elements from the Portico II: Master Buss Processor. The result is delivery of exceptional tonal and dynamic control to each channel of a RND 5088 discrete analogue mixer, which has an expandable architecture. The 5051 is intended exclusively for use in 5088 consoles.

RND explains that in the Portico 5051, traditional transformer coupled inputs and outputs are used for both technical performance reasons and optimum musical reproduction. By combining this minimalistic design aesthetic with discrete class-A gain blocks and custom transformers, the 5051 provides high levels of performance and musicality.
