5059 Satellite

Summing Mixer

From Rupert Neve Designs:

Built around many of the topologies and custom transformers made famous with the 5088 large-format console, the 5059 is a 16 x 2+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 both flavors of our renowned SILK circuit simultaneously. With the same sonic heritage as classic mixing consoles used to create countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite imbues your tracks with the legendary warmth and presence of a Rupert Neve design.

The most important element of the 5059 is its legendary sound, the keys to which are the +/-24V class-A topologies and custom transformers, carefully refined over several decades to provide exceptional sonic performance and to greatly minimize crossover distortion.
