Topic: demo'd a portico last Fri

[orechall]

I got mine 2 weeks ago and have run it 4 nights. My impressions of it are that for on stage instrumental music it has way more detail then most of the other pres I have run. (I've run almost everything portable)  Also it has amazing imaging when run on stage there was a real sense of space and distance between the instruments, once again much more than any other pre, I've run.  I ran it in silk and without.  My impression of this is that the silk is very warm and colored, thick, big, like a sweatshirt fresh from the dryer on a winter night.  With out silk I found it to be much more transparent, with more pronunced highs, more focused tigher, punchier bass, a little bright.  When I ran it in larger venues ortf, it sounded like my mics were at least 1/3 closer to the source than with previous pres, while still exibiting the same forementioned qualities.  There is a Moe from the filmore denver up on cotapers.org and also etree.  It is however a 4 mic mix

great post, +T

+T for the info I was going to make a move to get one of these since I figured with the silk mode they would pair up nicely with my JW mods and I havent ruled it out just got sidetracked and picked up a 148 for the time being...I still want to run one of these some day.

No offense, but you should be taken out back and shot for saying 148 and in the mean time in the same sentence.  No just kidding, but I probably wouldn't consider one better then the other.

I ended up buying it - sounds amazing on the guitar amp, a big punchy sound.

how are people powering it in the field, where did you get your battery cable? thx.

I made the cable, all you need is a power cable from any 12v device wall wart which you can buy at wallyworld, hack it and solder it.  I'll be running a 122amp hr lion for my whole rig.  This comes with a power cord.
