Master Buss Processor: Stereo Mastering Processor
The Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss Processor enables you to refine, reshape, and polish your sound to near-perfection. It stands as a significant buss compressor in audio history. This versatile VCA compressor features dual-channel compression and limiting capabilities, along with stereo field expansion. It seamlessly integrates sound field processing and Silk coloration into the dynamic processing workflow. Utilizing the same Class A high-voltage discrete circuitry found in the renowned 5088 console, the MBP operates at an internal 72V high voltage for exceptional dynamic performance. The SFE module handles M/S stereo field processing, while the specialized processing circuitry with I/O transformers and 72V internal voltage allows for perfect integration with various systems.
Suitable for large-scale live performances, recording studios, and other professional scenarios.
