Sum your mixes through Neve transformers and dial in analog saturation levels to taste with the 5059 Satellite summing mixer from Rupert Neve Designs.

Built around many of the topologies and custom transformers made famous with the 5088 mixer, the 5059 is a 16x2+2 summing mixer designed to deliver the ultimate out-of-the-box sonics and control in a 2U, rack-mountable chassis.

The 5059 features 16 channels with individual level, pan, inserts, stereo-2 sends, and master texture controls, providing easy integration with outboard equipment, complete control for two separate stem mixes, and the ability to dial in analog mojo in two modes. With the same sonic heritage as mixers used to create countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite imbues your tracks with the legendary warmth and presence of a Rupert Neve design.

The Signature of Excellence

The most important element of the 5059 is its legendary sound, the keys to which are the custom transformers and true class-A topologies found within. The +/- 24V class-A topologies in the 5059 have been fine-tuned over a number of years to provide exceptional sonic performance and to completely eliminate crossover distortion. When combined with Mr. Rupert Neve's transformer design and implementation, the 5059 achieves a remarkable purity, while also conveying the signature warmth and larger-than-life sound reminiscent of Rupert's classic designs.

Making Connections

One drawback to mixing "in the box" is the inability to use high quality analog outboard equipment.

Making Connections

One drawback to mixing "in the box" is the inability to use high quality analog outboard equipment. Channel inserts are provided in the 5059 to streamline interconnections with analog outboard equipment and to allow for further expansions of the 5059's capabilities. By connecting a second 5059 to the insert outputs of a 5059, the dual stereo outputs can be used as a way to add 4 auxes to each of the 16 channels. When used with other products from Rupert Neve Designs' summing family, the 5059 becomes an integral part of a complete modular system for world-class analog mixing and monitoring.

The 5059 also offers a fantastic solution for keyboard or individual instrument mixing, with its 16 pan-able inputs, inserts and returns for effects and pedals, and up to 10dB of gain. It also allows for recording a stacked mix of sounds while simultaneously recording each of them individually via the "always on" insert sends.
