Portico 5043 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Industry legend Rupert Neve introduces a compressor to the Portico series, furthering its appeal. George Shilling takes it to the limit.

Price: £1,463.00
Manufacturer: Rupert Neve Designs
Website: http://www.sonic-distribution.com

Rupert Neve founded the famous Neve console company many decades ago, and it is many years since connections were severed with what is now AMS-Neve. He also founded Focusrite, which, following a relaunch, still markets some of his designs. Following his separation from that company, he went on to design products for Amek, which also bore his name. Now living in Texas, he has again formed his own company (Rupert Neve Designs), and the company’s products are built in the USA. Previously released Portico boxes comprise a dual mic preamp (plus a version with EQ) and the unusual tape-emulating 5042; further modules are in the pipeline.
