On the heels of updating their 5059 Satellite and 5060 Centerpiece summing mixers, today Rupert Neve Designs announces the 5057 Orbit 16 x 2 Summing Mixer, the latest addition to the company\u2019s award-winning family of summing products.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s flagship 5088 mixing console. \u201cRather than using an external summing solution that offers little more than an ultra-clean representation of the in-the-box experience,\u201d says Rupert Neve Designs, \u201cthe Orbit provides the extraordinary richness, harmonic complexity and depth that only a Rupert Neve console can bring to your mixes.\u201d To shape the sound character, the company\u2019s acclaimed Silk Red and Blue circuitry provides full control over the amount of harmonic content and tone of the mix. \u201cSilk Red accentuates transformer saturation in the high and high-mid frequencies to amplify the vibrant midrange harmonics associated with Rupert\u2019s vintage equipment, while Silk Blue enhances saturation of the lows and low-mids to add thickness and weight to any mix.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Centerpiece and Satellite feature various options to control level, pan, inserts, and monitoring, the Orbit is designed for easy recall and seamless integration with a DAW-based workflow. Sixteen inputs are provided via DB25 connectors, the first eight of which can be precisely center-panned via front panel switches, and both sets of XLR outputs utilize Rupert Neve Designs\u2019 own custom transformers. In addition to the Main outputs, the -6dB outputs \u2013 originally developed for the company\u2019s best-selling Shelford Channel \u2013 are also simultaneously available, allowing the user to drive the Orbit\u2019s mix buss harder into saturation without clipping the next device in the signal path. According to the company, \u201cThis unique transformer drive is a hallmark of the sound of Rupert Neve throughout the years \u2013 and the sound of countless classic hit records.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Orbit offers precisely fixed channel levels and accurate mix buss attenuation via high-quality stepped switching, leading to \u201cvanishingly low crosstalk, and channels matched to within +\/- 0.1dB. This provides the widest and most accurate stereo image, the greatest depth, and the most direct signal path, allowing you to hear every single detail of your mixes.\u201d
\nTo expand the channel count, multiple units can be combined via the Link I\/O on the rear panel. The 5057 Orbit can also be used as a building block in an expandable summing system utilizing the 5059 Satellite for flexible summing and routing, and the 5060 Centerpiece for additional mixing and monitoring features. According to Rupert Neve Designs, \u201cThese units create the core of a world-class analog modular console system rivaling any traditional large-scale studio setup. There are other summing solutions on the market \u2013 but only the Orbit, Satellite, and Centerpiece give you the legendary sound of Rupert Neve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5057 Orbit begins shipping worldwide in February 2021, with a manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail price of $1,999 USD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
