Rupert Neve Designs 5057 Orbit 16 x 2 Summing Mixer

Rupert Neve Designs 5057 Orbit, a 16×2 summing mixer that carries the classic and classy sound of Rupert Neve consoles within its comparatively compact 1 RU chassis. With the Orbit, you’ll be closer to achieving a world-class analog sound out of an otherwise digital mix.

The 5057 Orbit comes packed with goodies from proven Rupert Neve pieces. The signal path makes use of the same transformer configuration found in the company’s Shelford channels, providing the same Class-A sound at either operated or padded levels (exactingly attenuated at -6 dB, to suit any downstream processors).

Additionally, the unit comes stocked with the renowned Silk circuit found the Portico II Master Bus Processor. This circuit allows you to enhance the high midrange, or beef up the lows, so your mix will never sound too dull or too thin.

Use this summing mixer to handle 8 stereo pairs of submixes, or expand it with other renowned RND gear. The choice is yours.
