hi,

I borrowed a Portico 5012. intend to use it on electric bass, but it has no jack hi-z in. So, what is the best way to connect the bass to it... I have a BSS-133. could it be used, and how would the setup be to the UA apollo interface. A mic or line signal?

regards

Hi,

I currently own the Portico 5012 dual mic preamp - I do like it a lot but am considering selling it to buy the API R20 Dual mic preamp. With the API I like the idea of having 2 additional high quality DI's plus the reviews on the API seem pretty solid. Just curious if any of you have compared the two or have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Hi there

Neve 5012 or http://www.mackie.c… Mackie Onyx 800R I'm kinda torn between the two. Yes you read correctly.

Hi all,

Just stumbled upon this forum while doing some research, and decided I might actually try to post a question I have yet to find an answer for..

I'm currently looking to buy a preamp and a new mic to supplement my very limited current setup. I've previously just been recording an SM57 directly in to a MOTU 828, and definitely think I could stand to step that up.

I've read favorable reviews on these preamps, but wanted to see if anyone here has used them, and if so, what is your opinion?
Would it be better to get the Seventh Circle preamps, or the Neve's?

who has tried the Neve Portico 5012 on voices? I went to sound sessions and heard clips on acoustic and electric guitars. On the elctric it sounds great but on the acoustic u can hear to many distortion from the transformers. I wonder if anyone knows how it does on voices related to a Neve 1073 or a chandler tg

hi all, i recorded a killer vox track using at4040 mic through personus firepod. i want to give the signal some warmth and color. a friend is willing to lend me her Neve Portico 5012 pre. what should i expect by running the signal through this unit.
a million thanks.
