As the voltage rises on the “record head”, saturation increases, and a soft clip circuit engages at higher levels to round off peak transients. The sound of the tape circuit can be further modified with selectable 15 \/ 30 IPS modes and a pre\/post-tape blend control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is Silk?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the tape circuit, the continuously variable Texture control with Silk Red and Silk Blue modes provides a whole other level of control over the harmonic density and tonality of your tracks \u0026amp; mixes. The Silk Red mode accentuates transformer saturation in the high and high-mid frequencies to amplify the vibrant midrange harmonics associated with Rupert’s vintage equipment, while Silk Blue accentuates saturation of the lows and low-mids to add thickness and weight to any source – especially useful for “thin-sounding” tracks or mixes.

The low frequency band is designed to produce a creamy, resonant bass response similar to a vintage 1064 – but unlike the vintage modules, the LF band on the Shelford Channel can be used as either a shelf or a peak filter, adding punch, dimension, and control to your low end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe midrange band is based on that of the 1073, ideal for sweetening vocals and instruments while bringing them forward in a mix, and its proportional “Q” response makes it well-suited for minimizing problematic frequencies.

The Silk circuit was initially developed for the original Portico series mic preamplifiers, and was only a single switch – on or off – that added a specified amount of musical, pleasing harmonic saturation to the unit’s output stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking this concept one step further, the Texture knob is designed to adjust the actual amount of harmonic content from the source material. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo how does it work? By reducing negative feedback across the output transformer and adjusting this feedback’s frequency response, the Silk \/ Texture circuit provides the sweet, musical saturation found in Rupert’s legendary vintage designs – but with complete \u0026amp; precise control over the amount of classic tone you want. And when the level is driven to the edge of its headroom, the Silk effect is multiplied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy a -6dB Output?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplementing the Silk circuit is the custom-designed output transformer from the renowned Shelford Channel, which uses Rupert Neve Designs’ unique dual-tap output topology. This offers both full-headroom (+26dBu) and -6dB outputs, allowing the engineer to drive the unit fully into classic transformer saturation without clipping converters and other devices later in the chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the Shelford Channel, which uses a mic input transformer for a more vintage topology, the 5211’s input is fully transformerless, maximizing signal clarity direct from the microphone. Combined with the more extreme saturation from both variable Silk and the custom output transformer’s lower-headroom tap, the 5211 is capable of producing tones ranging from thick \u0026amp; warm to breathtakingly delicate \u0026amp; clear.

With the RNDI, the overwhelming majority of harmonic content is 2nd order (octave) with some 3rd order present (fifth above octave). These musically relevant harmonics, present in subtle amounts, actually add to the richness of the original signal.

The low frequency band is designed to produce a creamy, resonant bass response similar to a vintage 1064 – but unlike the vintage modules, the LF band on the 551 can be used as either a shelf or a peak filter, adding punch, dimension, and control to your low end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe midrange band is based on that of the 1073, ideal for sweetening vocals and instruments while bringing them forward in a mix, and its proportional “Q” response makes it well-suited for minimizing problematic frequencies. The high frequency band is a hybrid vintage \/ modern design, blending inductor circuitry with capacitor-based topologies to achieve vintage tones with enhanced control. The High Pass filter is a 12dB\/octave design with a fixed 80Hz frequency, and can be used in tandem with the low frequency EQ to add low-end presence without clouding the source material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with Rupert’s most prized classic designs, each EQ section uses low-feedback, class-A discrete electronics to prevent low-level artifacts and harshness from detracting from the tonal shaping.

When they saturate, they bring out beautifully musical harmonics that give your tracks the smooth, polished sound that has made Rupert’s consoles and equipment so desirable for over fifty years.

The lows felt richer, deeper and fuller, and the highs had outstanding clarity without any added harshness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eActive + Passive: The Best of Both Worlds\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RNDI’s signature sound is the product both of new custom Rupert Neve-designed transformers and class-A biased, discrete FET amplifiers.

The low impedance, transformer-balanced output excels at driving long cable runs, and performance is immensely consistent regardless of the connected equipment. This is very important for both live and studio environments where the unamplified signal may travel almost 100ft before hitting an amplifier. In other designs, these high-capacitance lines cause major reductions in high frequencies – not so with the RNDI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE CLASS-A, DISCRETE FET AMPLIFIERS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe class-A \u0026amp; discrete FET amplifier in the RNDI is powered by 48V phantom, and creates a very high impedance input of 2M Ohms that ensures consistent performance with a wide variety of instruments. The class-A design ensures that zero crossover distortion is added to the signal, which can add upper-order odd harmonics that are musically dissonant in nature. With the RNDI, the overwhelming majority of harmonic content is 2nd order (octave) with some 3rd order present (fifth above octave). These musically relevant harmonics, present in subtle amounts, actually add to the richness of the original signal. And the discrete aspect of the RNDI design means there are no ICs or digital components that can have negative effects on the tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMassive Headroom + Speaker Mode\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn instrument mode, the RNDI’s high input headroom of +21.5dBU is capable of handling not only instruments, but professional, line level sources like interfaces and drum machines – without a pad. This allows the RNDI to serve as a way to “re-preamp” any previously recorded track using your interface and a desired pre-amp. To do this, simply connect a channel output of the interface to the input of the RNDI and connect the RNDI’s output to the preamp and engage 48V. By “re-preamping” you can apply the tone of another preamp to the source and more accurately automate or control the drive level on the preamp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn speaker mode, the RNDI can handle the screaming output of a 1000-watt solid-state power amplifier (92 Vrms or 266Vp-p) to capture the full tone of the instrument, preamplifier, EQ, inserts, and the amplifier’s output stages before it hits the speakers. This technique allows the engineer to avoid any bleed in a live environment and any unwanted tone added by the speaker cabinet or microphone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e¼” INPUT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Z unbalanced input:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.2M Ohms (Instrument)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 kOhms (Speaker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e¼” THRU\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParallel ¼” port used to send signal to an amp or speaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPEAKER \/ INSTRUMENT INPUT LEVEL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelects Speaker or Instrument level. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax input: +21dBu Instrument, +41.5dBu Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e48V POWER LED\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndicates that +48V phantom power is present from the connected mic preamp (required to power the RNDI).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGROUND LIFT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsolates the XLR Pin 1 from the instrument input ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOUTPUT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransformer-balanced XLR output.

The Silk circuit was initially developed for the original Portico series mic preamplifiers, and was only a single switch – on or off – that added a specified amount of musical, pleasing harmonic saturation to the unit’s output stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking this concept one step further, the Texture knob is designed to adjust the actual amount of harmonic content from the source material. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo how does it work? By reducing negative feedback across the output transformer and adjusting this feedback’s frequency response, the Silk \/ Texture circuit provides the sweet, musical saturation found in Rupert’s legendary vintage designs – but with complete \u0026amp; precise control over the amount of classic tone you want. And when the level is driven to the edge of its headroom, the Silk effect is multiplied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy a -6dB Output?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplementing the Silk circuit is the custom-designed output transformer from the renowned Shelford Channel, which uses Rupert Neve Designs’ unique dual-tap output topology. This offers both full-headroom (+26dBu) and -6dB outputs, allowing the engineer to drive the unit fully into classic transformer saturation without clipping converters and other devices later in the chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the Shelford Channel, which uses a mic input transformer for a more vintage topology, the 5211’s input is fully transformerless, maximizing signal clarity direct from the microphone. Combined with the more extreme saturation from both variable Silk and the custom output transformer’s lower-headroom tap, the 5211 is capable of producing tones ranging from thick \u0026amp; warm to breathtakingly delicate \u0026amp; clear.

The low impedance, transformer-balanced output excels at driving long cable runs, and performance is immensely consistent regardless of the connected equipment. This is very important for both live and studio environments where the unamplified signal may travel almost 100ft before hitting an amplifier. In other designs, these high-capacitance lines cause major reductions in high frequencies – not so with the RNDI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE CLASS-A, DISCRETE FET AMPLIFIERS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe class-A \u0026amp; discrete FET amplifier in the RNDI is powered by 48V phantom, and creates a very high impedance input of 2M Ohms that ensures consistent performance with a wide variety of instruments. The class-A design ensures that zero crossover distortion is added to the signal, which can add upper-order odd harmonics that are musically dissonant in nature.

To do this, simply connect a channel output of the interface to the input of the RNDI and connect the RNDI’s output to the preamp and engage 48V. By “re-preamping” you can apply the tone of another preamp to the source and more accurately automate or control the drive level on the preamp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn speaker mode, the RNDI can handle the screaming output of a 1000-watt solid-state power amplifier (92 Vrms or 266Vp-p) to capture the full tone of the instrument, preamplifier, EQ, inserts, and the amplifier’s output stages before it hits the speakers. This technique allows the engineer to avoid any bleed in a live environment and any unwanted tone added by the speaker cabinet or microphone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e¼” INPUT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Z unbalanced input:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.2M Ohms (Instrument)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 kOhms (Speaker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e¼” THRU\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParallel ¼” port used to send signal to an amp or speaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPEAKER \/ INSTRUMENT INPUT LEVEL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelects Speaker or Instrument level. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax input: +21dBu Instrument, +41.5dBu Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e48V POWER LED\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndicates that +48V phantom power is present from the connected mic preamp (required to power the RNDI).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGROUND LIFT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsolates the XLR Pin 1 from the instrument input ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOUTPUT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransformer-balanced XLR output.
