Two Rupert Neve Designs Win 2012 PAR Excellence Awards

We are proud to announce that the sE Electronics / Rupert Neve RN17 and the Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Channel have been chosen as winners in the 2012 PAR Excellence Awards.

PAR Editor Strother Bullins says, “The new PAR Excellence Awards voting process goes hand-in-hand with Pro Audio Review’s role as the ‘real world’ product review vehicle for the audio production industry. Between our talented, prolific team of PAR Contributors — working studio and live sound pros themselves — and our technically savvy, qualified subscriber base, the PAR Excellence Awards process is uniquely and credibly structured to truly recognize the past year’s most innovative products.”

The RN17 won in the category of Small Diaphragm Condensers, and is the first of its kind with a large scale, hand wound, ultra high performance output transformer. The combination of this transformer’s powerful low-frequency response coupled with the high-end detail derived from the 17mm gold-sputtered mylar capsule leads to an SDC like no other on the market.
