517 Mic Pre / DI / Compressor with Vari-phase

R 19,300.00

Based on the Portico 5017 Mobile Pre, the 517 provides world-class transformer-coupled mic preamp, compressor and DI circuitry with Vari-phase, "Silk" and DI/mic blending capabilities – all in a single 500 series module.

Mic Pre and Instrument Amplifier

The 517’s mic pre – based on the TEC Award-winning Portico 5017 – provides up to 66dB of gain, polarity-reverse and phantom power switches, and the "Silk" circuit for a more vintage vibe. The separate instrument amplifier includes 30dB of gain, a ground lift, variable phase and an instrument Thru connection.
