Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for mixing and mastering, the Portico II Master Buss Processor brings EQ, filtering, dynamics, output level, and metering together in a 2U rackmount processor. Five sweepable EQ bands handle tonal shaping, while separate 12 dB/octave high- and low-pass filters let you set the frequency range of the signal. Its opto-electronic compressor/limiter provides adjustable dynamics control, and output level control with LED metering keeps level and gain-reduction decisions visible while you work.
