Rupert Neve Designs 517 Mic Pre / DI / Compressor - BOX AND COMPRESSOR MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER

(This text is machine translated) The Portico Rupert Neve Designs 517 provides a mic preamp paired with a world-class transformer, compressor and DI, Vari-phase, Silk and DI / mic blending. The mic preamp provides 66dB of gain and is based on the Portico 5017 design. It also incorporates a switch for reverse polarity and phantom power. The separate instrument amplifier features a 30dB gain, ground-lift, variable phase and an instrument Thru connection. Used as a single channel device for instruments, the 517 can be used for phase alignment, for combining and compressing direct and amplified signals. The blend control is used to mix direct and amplified signals to achieve the desired mix between two sources, the variphase is used to reduce or attenuate phase cancellations between two signals. Based on a new LDR, the opto-compressor has been simplified with a single, self-compensating gain threshold control. In addition to reverse polarity, variable phase control can be used for incremental phase regulation....
