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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOISE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured at Main Output, un-weighted, 22 Hz - 22 kHz, source impedance 150 Ohm balanced.
