Rupert Neve 542

Tape Emulator with Variable Silk, Blend & Soft Clip

The ultimate "color box". As a 500-series follow-up to the Portico 542, the 542 delivers the same thick, musical simulation of tape while drastically enhancing creative control via a number of new features. In addition to the "true tape" circuitry - great for bringing out 3rd-order harmonics - the 542 incorporates a soft-clip circuit that tames the harshest sources and enhances 2nd-order harmonics, a variable and versatile Silk/Texture circuit for three transformer tones in one, and a wet/dry control to blend in the perfect amount of saturation. 

The 542's "True Tape" emulation circuit provides the nostalgic rounding and compression usually only achieved by the use of tape, and can offset the harshness often round in digital recordings. Unlike digital emulations, the "True Tape" drive circuit works by feeding a custom-designed transformer acting as a "record head", which in turn is coupled to a correctly equalized replay amplifier. As the voltage rises on the "record head", saturation increases, and a soft clip circuit engages at higher levels to round off peak transients. The sound of the tape circuit can be further modified with selectable 15 / 30 IPS modes and a pre/post-tape blend control. In addition to the tape circuit, the 542 also has the variable Silk & Texture circuitry developed for the Portico II series modules, which allows the engineers to fine-tune the harmonic ratio and tonality on the output transformer.
