Rolls Royce under Channel Strips!

MaSz, 27.02.2011

As an alternative to Mixersound and other Channel Strips / Preamp's, the Portico II, as an excellent workhorse with a noble character, huge headroom, as well as an extremely successful EQ-Compressor package, which makes a bombastic mixture with a great preamp! Now 2 Egzemlare do their work in my studio, and are constantly in use. Clear recommendation!

Class Channelstrip!

Mosaik, 28.06.2017

With the Portico 2, I finally took a flagship home! Does not externally as much as for example an Avalon, but soundly worth every penny!
My favorite setting of the EQ during vocal tracking is by the way a peak at 150hz with circa +2 db, a small lowering around the 1000hz and a shelf from 12,000hz, where I reindreated about 3db.
My used microphone is the Neumann U87
