Compressor / Gate

The Portico 5043H from Rupert Neve Designs is a 2-channel compressor / limiter, with independent and interconnected modes of operation. This is the ideal playing companion for the Portico 5012 Microphone Preamp or the Portico 5033 Equalizer. Designed to handle tracking or mixing, the Portico 5043 features two compression / limitation channels that can be used independently or in combination series, for two different compression sounds. The input and output transformers are there to give your tracks a typical British sound. Inject some classic flavor into your tracks by adding a Portico 5043 to your rack!

  • Type: VCA.
  • Controls: Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Gain.
  • Threshold: -30 dB to 20 dB.
  • Ratio: 1.1: 1 to 40: 1.
  • Frequency response: 18Hz-150kHz (-3 dB).
  • Inputs: 2 x XLR, 2 x 6.3mm Jack (Bus input).
  • Outputs: 2 x XLR.
  • Gain: Variable from -36 dB to +20 dB.
  • Threshold: Variable from -36 dB to +22 dB.
  • Attack: Variable from 20mS to 75mS.
  • Release: Variable from 100mS to 2.5 Seconds.
  • FF / FB: VCA Feed-Forward or Feed-Back Control.
  • S / C or LINK: Several 5043 can be chained via the rear panel jacks. When a single channel is turned on, its voltage control appears on the "LINK" jack. When both channels are switched on, they are "linked" together and their voltage controls also appear on the "LINK" jacks.
  • Selecting LINE or BUSS inputs: Use XLR inputs to enter the line level, or "Buss" jacks when using the Buss output of a Portico element.

  • Main output, compressor "bypass"> 0.0006% Main output, compressor switched on> 0.02%.
  • Noise: Measured on the main output, 22Hz - 22kHz, 40 Ohm load.
  • Unit level gain, bypass compressor> -103dBu.
  • Unit level gain, compressor switched on> -92dBu.
  • Crosstalk: Measured from channel to channel> -80dB @ 16kHz.
  • A / B Meters: Allows monitoring between "INPUT LEVEL" and "GAIN REDUCTION" between channels A and B.
  • 5043
  • Power Supply Voltage: 9 to 18 Volts DC, 9 watts.
  • Connector: 5.5mm X 2.5mm jack, positive in the center.
  • Consumption: at 9VDC = 1.0A at 12VDC = 730 mA at 15VDC = 570 mA at 18VDC = 480 mA.
