Portico II Series and simultaneous pre / post “tape” operation. Utilizing class-A, discrete, +/- 24V topologies with custom-wound transformers and inductors, Rupert Neve designed the 5052 as a vintage-style channel strip that captures the soul of his classic designs, without the previous compromises. - Page 6 Following the preamplifier, the 5052 has a transformer-coupled output, which allows the 5052 to feed a tape machine or DAW directly from the mic pre while still using the EQ and Silk / Texture in a dedicated analogue mix path such as that found with a 5088, 5060 or vintage console.
- Page 7 MIC PRE DESIGN NOTES FROM MR. RUPERT NEVE In former years, before the introduction of solid state amplifiers, transformers were necessary to step down from the very high input impedance of tubes, and to provide a balanced input for the microphone line. An input impedance of 1,000 or 1,200 ohms became established for microphones having a source impedance of 150 or 200 ohms, with connection being made on a twisted twin screened cable (This type of cable, while excellent for low impedance work, has high capacitance...

The 5052 level meter is calibrated for dBu, and the red LEDs may not necessarily match up with the destination device. MIC IN XLR female transformer balanced floating input associated with the Mic position of the front panel input switch. - Page 11 aspects to hearing that are beyond the realm of simple traditional measurement characterizations. The way in which an analog amplifier handles very small signals is as important as the way it behaves at high levels. For low distortion, an analog amplifier must have a linear transfer characteristic, in other words, the output signal must be an exact replica of the input signal, differing only in magnitude.
