Product information "Rupert Neve Designs 5052 Vertical"
The Shelford 5052 evokes the timeless character of the classic 1073 with its mic preamp, high-pass filter, and 3-band inductor EQ, while incorporating modern refinements like the variable Silk / Texture control and simultaneous pre/post “tape” operation. Handcrafted with class-A, discrete, ±24V circuitry, custom transformers, and inductors, the 5052 captures the soul and warmth of Rupert Neve’s legendary analog sound with uncompromising performance for today’s studios.
