Rupert Neve Portico II Master Buss Processor

The Rupert Neve Master Buss Processor is based on Neve’s well-known class-A signal path, which became famous with the big 5088 mixer.
MBP redefines what you can use a master compressor and limiter for, and makes it an extremely creative tool whether it is to be used in the studio or live. This is not a 2254, but an extension of Neve’s early design, and the MBP can be used from the finest classic mixes to the most hard-pumped EDM tracks – it can do it all and has the flexibility needed in a modern production environment.
