After 15 years of design consultation for Taylor Guitars, Legendary Audio, Amek and Focusrite, among others, Rupert Neve has returned to manufacturing with a series of all-analog gear, set to be released this year under his own brand, Rupert Neve Designs.
Custom-designed transformers, very short signal paths, minimal negative feedback and single-sided transformer-coupled amplifier designs form the essential building blocks for the new Rupert Neve Designs Portico™ range. The first product to be released is the 5012 Duo Mic Pre, a dual-channel mic pre that offers a front panel Silk switch and a To Buss switch, which allows the 5012 to access busing in a custom-configured, multi-module setup or to assign a signal to a solo or cue bus in other Portico modules.
