V5 Reference Manual

154

The FB circuit is used in vintage compressors. This type is suitable when you want to

apply a smooth compression while adding a tonal character that is characteristic of such

devices.

4 GAIN REDUCTION meter

Indicates the amount of gain reduction.

5 THRESHOLD knob

Adjusts the threshold at which compression starts to be applied.

6 RATIO knob

Adjusts the compression ratio. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to switch to the limiter.

7 ATTACK knob

Adjusts the compressor’s attack time.

8 RELEASE knob

Adjusts the compressor’s release time.

9 GAIN knob

Adjusts the output gain.

 Portico 5045

This is a processor that accurately models the Portico 5045 Primary Source Enhancer made

by Rupert Neve Designs. Operation is extremely easy, allowing you to suppress background

noise that enters the mic while increasing clarity, enhancing the primary source and also

improving the feedback margin. It is suitable not only for a hand-held mic but also for a lavalier

mic or headset mic, and can be used in a variety of situations including event PA, concerts,

or broadcast. This processor is also equipped with the audio transformer and discrete amp

circuit that are the signature of the Portico series, so that simply passing the signal through it

will increase the luster and depth of the sound.

1 PROCESS ENGAGE button

Turns the enhancement circuit on/off.

2 RMS/PEAK button

Selects the operation mode for the level detector. You can select RMS mode or PEAK

mode.

3 TIME CONSTANT knob

Switches the attack and release time. The settings are as follows.

4 THRESHOLD knob

Adjusts the level at which enhancement begins. Signals below the THRESHOLD are

attenuated.

5 PROCESS ACTIVE indicator

This indicator is lit when the input signal exceeds the THRESHOLD. Adjust the

THRESHOLD so that this indicator is lit when the primary audio source is being input,

and unlit during periods of silence or between phrases.

6 DEPTH knob

Adjusts the amount of attenuation for signals below the THRESHOLD.
