PORTICO II MASTER BUSS CONVERTER - Overview

Whether you’re tracking, printing mixes, or mastering, the Master Buss Converter is a revelation in quality and functionality of A-D conversion technology. The analog drive circuitry allows the MBC’s converter to be fed by either a class-A transformerless path for maximum transparency, or by custom inter-stage audio transformers with variable Silk for a wide variety of tonal enhancements. Coupled with an astonishingly musical limiter, the MBC is always the best choice to capture your analog signals with breathtakingly three-dimensional accuracy.

  • Features:

    • 24-bit/192kHz Reference Conversion
    • Active Compound Release Analog Limiting- Push your levels further with fewer artifacts than plug-ins, and introduce clip safety for tracking or broadcast.
    • Class-A Transformerless Path- Maximizes clarity and transparency of the input signal.
    • Transformer Path with Silk / Texture- Add weight and punch with a dedicated custom inter-stage transformer before the converter.
    • Selectable Analog Drive Paths- class-A transformerless and custom transformer-coupled designs at the touch of a button.
    • Precision Clocking- Maximum accuracy with minimal jitter and phase noise.
    • Multi-Standard Connectivity- AES, S/PDIF, Toslink
