Rupert Neve Portico 5015

Mic Pre / Compressor 

With independent transformer-coupled mic preamp and compressor-limiter sections identical to those found in the 5012 and 5043 modules, the fully analogue Portico 5015 combines the outstanding sound quality expected from a Rupert Neve design with the total flexibility required by modern recording studios. Available in both Vertical and horizontal configurations, when used with the 5033 five band EQ it is possible to create a Portico channel strip with preamplification, dynamics processing and equalization. As an additional routing option, the mic pre output may be routed directly to the compressor section without patching by pressing the To Compressor Switch. 

Technical Specifications

  • Input: Balanced, using "Transfomer-Like-Amplifier" (T.L.A.) with toroidal Common Mode Rejection Low Pass Filter that excludes frequencies above 150kHz
  • Input Impedance: 10,000Ω + or 20%
  • Noise: 
    • Measured at Main Output: Input Terminated with 150Ω
    • Measured over band limited 22Hz-22kHz, Unweighted:
      • With Gain at Unity: Better than 100dBu
      • With Gain at 66dB: Better than 62dBu
      • Equivalent Input Noise: Better than 128dBu
  • Frequency Response: 
    • Main Output, no load @10Hz: 0.2dN 
    • Main Output, no load @160kHz: 3dB
  • Buss Output:
    • @ 10Hz: 0.2dB
    • @ 160kHz: 3dB
  • High Pass Filter: Swept Frequency continuously variable from 20Hz to 250 Slope: 12dB/Octave Hz
  • Gain: Switched Gain from Unity to +66dB in 6dB steps
  • Trime: Continuously adjustable potentiometer from 6dB to +6dB with reference to setting on the Gain Switch
  • Maximum Output Level: Balanced and Floating Transformer Output from 20Hz to 40kHz: +25dBu (Clips at just over +26dBu) 
  • Mute: Mutes Main Output only. (i.e. Monitor remains Live)
  • Total Harmonic Distortion and Noise: 
    • Main Output: @1kHz, +20dBu output Better than 0.001% level, no load: (No high order Harmonics)
    • Silk Engaged: Approximately 0.2% Second Harmonic
    • Main Output: @20Hz, +20dBu output Better than 0.01% level, no load
  • SILK: The 5015 uses mainly single-sided amplifier circuitry that excludes any possibility of crossover distortion. The "SILK" button reduces negative feedback and adjusts the frequency spectrum to provide a very sweet and musical performance. 
  • Buss Output: The Buss Output is designed to feed other Portico Series modules with Buss Inputs
  • Crosstalk: 
    • Measured Channel to Channel: Better than 90dB @ 15kHz 
  • Phantom Power: +48Volts DC ±1% 
  • Main Power Required (From External Power Unit): Voltage Range, 9 to 18 Volts DC
  • Current Consumption: 
    • @ 9VDC = 1.3 A typical 
    • @ 12VDC = 1 A typical 
    • @ 15VDC = 800mA typical 
    • @ 18VDC = 650mA typical 
  • Rear Panel Power Connector: 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC jack, Center Positive
