5015 and 5088 models nominated for TEC Awards for Outstanding Technical Achievement

Rupert Neve Designs has announced that the 5015 Mic Pre/Compressor and the 5088 Fully Discrete Analogue Mixer
have been nominated as finalists in the 2008 TEC awards for Outstanding Technical Achievement.

Nominated in the category of Microphone Preamplifier Technology, the Portico 5015 combines the rich detailed performance of the Portico Series mic pre with the sweet musical response of its compressor-limiter. Built around Mr Neve's custom transformer designs, with features like "Silk", "Feed-Forward/Feed-Back" modes, stereo link and dual mono/single channel operation (preamp and compressor), the 5015 has unparalleled power and flexibility.

Crafted from the ground up to incorporate Rupert Neve's custom input and output transformers, 90V rails, and discrete, class A circuitry throughout, the 5088 is nominated in the field of Large Format Console Technology.

With a completely modular design and the sweet musical quality expected from Mr. Neve, the 5088 represents a significant advance in the performance and philosophy of audio processing.

Held on October 4th in San Francisco, alongside the AES Convention, the TEC awards ceremony is the most respected event recognizing technical achievement in audio.

This year's nominations for Rupert Neve Designs come after winning the 2006 TEC award for Signal Processing Technology with the Portico 5042 "True Tape" FX.
