The Porta 05 is a four-track machine which is capable of mixing up to four inputs at once and then recording the mix onto either one or two tracks in one go. The mechanism runs at 1⅞ips (the same speed as domestic hi-fi decks) and Dolby dbx noise reduction is provided (the Mark II version) rather than the more popular alternative Dolby B or C. This means that while you’ll be able to play your pre-recorded Dolby tapes on the ’05, you’ll have to switch the noise reduction off, giving a more trebly playback than usual. The mixer section features basic EQ, an effects loop and has provision for trimming the inputs to match the impedance of just about any mic you might care to plug into it. Another refinement is a Sync Out socket which allows you to record a sync pulse on one track then pass it back out again to your drum machine, sequencer or computer without going through the dbx circuitry. All these facilities are packed in a neat, business-like box which is laid out in a clear and logical fashion. Newcomers to the multitrack scene will therefore have little difficulty in quickly coming to grips with the various facilities on offer.
