Rupert Neve Design - 511 500 Series Mic Pre with Silk

Rupert Neve Designs 511 - 500 Series Mic Pre with Silk

500 Series Preamp with Sweepable Highpass Filter

If you're a recording engineer you understand what we mean when we say this preamp gives you the Neve sound. With a preamp section taken from Rupert Neve Designs's acclaimed 5017 mic preamp, you get an amazing sounding signal path with that signature sound. Many products claim to have some lineage to Rupert Neve, but this preamplifier was actually designed by the man himself.

Versatile tone shaping provided by the Silk/Texture circuit

If the vintage Neve sound is what you're after, look no further. Rupert Neve Designs added their Silk tone shaping to the 511 preamp to dial in a warmer vintage sound. With its variable control you can get anything from warm round sounds to more modern crystal clear performance and everything in-between.

Sweepable highpass filter circuit from the 5012 preamplifier

Even with the compact 500 series design you get even more control of your sound with the 511's sweepable highpass filter taken from their 5012. You can remove the rumble and low-end that can muddy up your signal, and do it with surgical precision.

Rupert Neve Designs 511 Microphone Preamp Features:

• Sonically flexible microphone preamplifier in 500 Series format
• High-quality mic preamp taken from the 5017
• Silk control gives you vintage to modern sounds
• Tailor your low-end with a sweepable highpass filter
• Compact and convenient 500 series design

Excellent sound quality and flexibility makes the 511 a great preamp for any project!

With a truly legendary transformer-balanced preamp and the flexibility of variable Silk / Texture, the 511 was designed by Rupert Neve to provide classic sonic performance with 500-series value. Incorporating the pristine preamp circuitry from the 517, the universally useful sweepable high pass filter from the 5012, and the sweetness of the variable Silk circuit derived from our flagship Portico II Channel, the 511 is a workhorse for all your most important tracks.

From Rupert Neve: “While creating functional 500 series modules is relatively simple, designing those modules to equal their non-500 series counterparts with the current, voltage and space restraints is quite challenging. In creating our own 500-Series Modules, we experimented with a number of different transformer and circuit designs to achieve the same presence and sweetness found in the Portico Series of modules. The result of these efforts is that outside of the slightly lowered headroom, our 500 series modules are nearly indistinguishable from standard Portico Series modules, and are perfectly suited for studios of the highest caliber.”
