Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer at a Glance:
It's a Neve
In serious audio circles, Rupert Neve needs no introduction. Large-format Neve consoles from the 1970s are considered by many to be the pinnacle of analog mixer design. With the same design heritage and sonic mojo as the boards used to create countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer juices your tracks with legendary Rupert Neve warmth and presence. With 16 channels of Rupert Neve designed Class A alchemy and flexible tonal and routing options, the Rupert Neve Designs' 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer will take your DAW-based studio's sound to a whole new level.
Dial in some Silk
The Rupert Neve Designs' 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer's continuously variable Texture controls with Silk and Silk+ modes let you fine tune the harmonic ratio and tonality of each of 5059's stereo busses. The Silk mode adds sparkle to your tracks by juicing transformer saturation in the high frequencies. Silk + mode accentuates saturation in the low frequencies, adding density and thickness to the source - particularly desirable when you've got a dry, lackluster mix. Distinctly different-sounding from equalization, Texture saturates the output transformers, adding musical harmonics to your source according to the amount you've dialed in.
Flexibility - it's a beautiful thing
The dual stereo outputs of the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer are perfect for creating stem mixes, which you can enhance using the 5059's Silk/Texture controls, then process through bus compressors or other devices, finally feeding into the inputs of another mixer or your interface. This is but one example of the flexibility you'll get when integrate the 5059 into your recording rig. If you think about it, though, there's almost no end to the possibilities!
