Neve - Yamaha - Portico 5045

Reduces Unwanted Signals Well in Excess of 20dB and has the Warmth of a Rupert Neve Designs DeviceThe Rupert Neve Designs 5045 Primary Source Enhancer is an amazing box that will assist mixing engineers where unwanted background sounds bleed into mics. Imagine inserting the 5045 over a podium mic, making a few adjustments to the very easy to use knobs on the front panel, and realizing how the intelligibility of that mic increases. The 5045 will handle or reduce unwanted signals well in excess of 20dB, if needed. By simply reducing the background sounds relative to the main audio source, the additional clarity and gain before feedback realized is quite stunning.General specifications
