This is an essentially mint condition unit, though it has been unboxed and racked. This unit has fewer than ONE HOUR of signal and power through it. This was purchased as part of a studio project that didn't get off the ground. This unit is, for all intents and purposes, "new" -- it has only been tested and dialed in for initial use, but other than that has been unracked and stored. 

The Portico II Channel was created using the high voltage topologies from the 5088 to create a channel strip with the ultimate sound quality. Comprised of a fully-featured mic preamplifier, 4-band EQ, compressor-limiter, “texture” control and level metering, the Portico II Channel includes a bevy of features including Variable Silk with Texture control, a fully tunable “de-esser”, multiple VCA filtering and detection options, a transient-optimized swept HPF and parallel compression blending.
