Rupert Neve Designs Launches New 5057 Orbit Summing Mixer
On the heels of updating their 5059 Satellite and 5060 Centerpiece summing mixers, Rupert Neve Designs has announced the 5057 Orbit 16 x 2 Summing Mixer, the latest addition to the company’s award-winning family of summing products.
Housed in a 1U chassis, the Orbit features the same summing architecture as its older siblings, all of which are direct descendants of the company’s flagship 5088 mixing console. “Rather than using an external summing solution that offers little more than an ultra-clean representation of the in-the-box experience,” says Rupert Neve Designs, “the Orbit provides the extraordinary richness, harmonic complexity and depth that only a Rupert Neve console can bring to your mixes.” To shape the sound character, the company’s acclaimed Silk Red and Blue circuitry provides full control over the amount of harmonic content and tone of the mix. “Silk Red accentuates transformer saturation in the high and high-mid frequencies to amplify the vibrant midrange harmonics associated with Rupert’s vintage equipment, while Silk Blue enhances saturation of the lows and low-mids to add thickness and weight to any mix.”
