Mercenary Audio - Rupert Neve Designs Portico™

The new Rupert Neve Designs Portico modular preamplifiers and analogue audio processors constitute a range of building blocks that may be used independently or in combination to provide key elements that were traditionally included in large format Sound Control Consoles.

Why "Portico™"?
A portico, in building terms, suggests a rather grand entrance or doorway. Its form tells you something about what to expect as you enter.

High quality sound control consoles can provide a powerful array of audio tools but your actual choice is limited by decisions the console designer has already made on your behalf and by the cost of providing a large number of identical modules, many of which are probably redundant to your purpose. The Portico range presents a means of interconnecting very high quality modules that give you those precise features that you need just when and where they are wanted in the chain, without the huge redundancy of a large console.

As new modules are added you will be able to select from a wide range of innovative audio processors that can be freely interconnected. In addition, because of the balanced inputs and outputs, the flexible mounting features and the independent powering, you can include any of your favorite transformer-coupled, balanced modules in a Portico chain without fear of ground loops or level discrepancies.

Except for the Portico II, all Portico units are 1RU and half a rack wide.
There are mounting kits for a single Portico unit or two Portico units.
