Product Description

Incorporating four channels of renowned preamplification, independent silk controls, two channels of DI inputs, and an M-S Decoder into a 1U enclosure, the 5024 is workhorse equipped to enhance the front end performance of any digital or analogue recording system. Each channel of the Portico 5024 is based around the custom transformers and class-A circuitry found in the 5012.

In addition to 72 dB of gain, the 5024’s mic pres include individually selectable phase, mute, phantom power, a selectable frequency high pass filter, and the Silk circuit which yields the rich warmth and presence of the renowned classic designs. Channels 1 & 2 of the 5024 feature a high-Z input designed for instrument level sources. Channels 3 & 4 feature an M-S switch, which enables Mid-Side decoding without the use of multiple console channels.

Key features:

• Silk button reduces negative feedback and adjusts the frequency spectrum to provide a very sweet and musical performance
• M-S button engages Mid-Side decoding on channels 3 & 4. Channel 3 level controls the mid signal, and channel 4 level controls the side signal
• Instrument Inputs: balanced or unbalanced Hi-Z input for instruments using the Mic Pre's gain circuitry
• Level Meter: -30 dBu to +22 dBu with reference to the output
• Mute: cuts of the output signal post metering and pre Buss Output
• High Pass Filter: Ssignals below 30 or 90 Hz can be attenuated at 12dB / Octave, leaving the range above this unaffected. This gets rid of building rumble, air handling motor hum etc
• Phantom Power
• Phase Inverts
