RUPERT NEVE DESIGNS Portico II Master Buss Processor Black

Compressor/Limiter on rack 2U Black version After many requests, the Master Buss Processor is now available in the new black color to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Rupert Neve Designs.

The Master Buss Processor is a creative tool that redefines the boundaries of traditional compression and limiting and is based on the discrete, class A and high voltage signal path that made the Mixer 5088 famous. Although originally designed for mastering, the MBP has quickly become one of the favorite processors for mixing, recording and even FOH sound engineers. Whether it's mixing an aggressive, low-frequency EDM track or doing a fine master of chamber music, MBP always has something to offer regardless of genre.


Features

Stereo compressor/limiter
Complete compression section for both channels, with attack, release, ratio and threshold controls
Side-chain input with high pass filter for both channels
Feed-back/feed-forward controls for modern or vintage-style compressions
Texture control with two Silk modes to add the classic Rupert Neve sound The
Blend control allows you to mix the clean signal with the compressed one, to preserve transients while adding punch Limiter to a simple 1-knob and highly musical with Adaptive Release technology, which allows a brickwall limiting that does not distort or influence levels below the threshold.
The Stereo Field Editor section contains independent controls for width and depth as well as their own equalization control that allows you to work on the perfect stereo field.
