and the extent to which A-B has a more 'mono' sound is obviously a function of how directional one's microphones are; subcards are less affected, IMO.  i don't like a diffuse sound, often favoring the clarity offered by this config.

like i said, they sound good, gotta love the sub dpa's ;D

so the only option for 12v devices (fr2 etc) is the big/heavy/square batteries?  wtf  >:(

not true, there are online battery companies that sell 12v 4000mah NIMH batts, MUCH lighter than 12v sla's

just got this email from rupert....in short, if you are thinking of buying a portico do it now for the intro price ($1440) ends on friday (2005.11.04)

Dear Matthew,

 

The AES show was a tremendous success, and we would like to thank everyone that stopped by to say hello and check out our new products. The New York AES saw the launch of the Portico 5032 Mic Pre/EQ, the 5043 Limiter-Compressor and the Vertical Rack-Frame capable housing up to 8 Portico modules in 6 Rack Spaces, our first step towards the introduction of a full fledged mixing system! These new modules expand the Portico Series and increase your choice of high quality sound processing tools that can be connected when and where you need them in the signal chain.

 

The Portico 5032 is a single channel Mic Pre/EQ having a transformer coupled input, selectable from independent mic or line inputs. It includes a full featured Mic Pre identical to that found on the 5012 with the addition of a flexible 3-band Equalizer in the Mr. Rupert Neve tradition. The 5032 is equipped with high and low frequency shelving curves and has a Parametric Mid Band covering 80hz-8kHz in two ranges.

 

The Portico 5043 is a 2-channel compressor featuring a discrete main signal path. In addition to controls for Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Gain Make Up, the 5043 offers a choice of Feed-forward or Feed-back control capable of yielding unobtrusive musical sounding dynamics as well as "brick-wall" limiting.  The Portico 5043 can link both internal control lines or multiple additional 5043s enabling one of them to serve as "Master".  The Portico 5043 includes both line and mixing buss inputs.

 

For more information you can check out the entire Portico range at: http://www.rupertneve.com/porticorange.html

 

 

Friday November 4th will mark the end of our introductory pricing on the 5012 Mic Pre Duo and the 5042 True Tape FX/Line Amp. We would like to thank all of those that have purchased from us already and encourage all those that have not yet taken advantage of the limited-time introductory offer. Not only will you get the genuine Rupert Neve sound at a great price, if you purchase your 2nd unit, or buy 2 units before November 4th, 2005 we will include the optional rack mount kit at no additional charge!

 

Again, we appreciate your interest in our products and look forward to continuing to provide you with tools designed to provide the sound of genuine vintage analog modules at an affordable price. If you have any questions regarding any of our products or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Have any serious comps appeared?  They should loan one of these things to a taper who will do some real comps (vs. V3, etc).

Matt (ingsy) has one in town, and we both run MG's, we've talked about doing some sort of comp, although it wouldn't be the most scientific, because we'd also be using different A/D's.  if we get around to it, we'll be sure to post it.

A comp is pointless.  Nothing beats this box.
