New Rupert Neve Designs 5057 Orbit 16x2 Summing Mixer + FREE Cables!
Firmly rooted in six decades of console design experience, the 5057 Orbit gives your mixes the legendary tonality, power, and wide-open soundstage that only Rupert Neve’s class-A analog summing can provide. Coupled with Rupert’s famous custom audio transformers and Silk Red & Blue circuitry for variable harmonic saturation, the Orbit launches sterile in-the-box mixes to new heights of tone, depth and clarity – without compromising the recallable convenience and repeatability of your DAW-based workflow.
Born to Drive
When
you push a mix buss and output transformers towards saturation, the
non-linear, musical harmonics that occur are what truly glue a recording
together and bring it to life. Rather than using an external summing
solution that offers little more than an ultra-clean representation of
the in-the-box experience, the Orbit provides the extraordinary
richness, harmonic complexity and depth that only a
Rupert Neve console can bring to your mixes.
The
Orbit utilizes a highly custom output transformer configuration
originally developed for the acclaimed Shelford Channel, which provides
both a Main Output and a -6dB Output – the latter of which enables you
to fully drive the Orbit to achieve more transformer harmonics without
clipping the next device in the chain. This unique transformer drive is a
hallmark of the sound of Rupert Neve throughout the years – and the
sound of countless classic hit records.
Classic Sounds on Demand
Every
mix demands its own treatment. In addition to the choice of outputs,
the continuously variable Texture control with Silk Red and Silk Blue
modes gives you complete control over the harmonic density and tonality
of your mix – or lets you keep it utterly pristine and uncolored. The
Silk Red mode 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 accentuates
saturation of the lows and low-mids to add thickness and weight to any
source – especially useful for “thin-sounding” mixes. Unlike EQ, these
Silk & Texture controls saturate the output transformers, and add
highly musical harmonics to the source material according to the amount
of Texture applied.
Drive the mix buss hard, choose your Silk flavor, and crank the Texture knob for a rich, saturated, vintage vibe – or disengage Silk entirely for clear, wide-open sonic beauty. The choice is yours.
Build your Dream
While
the Orbit is an extremely effective tool on its own, multiple units can
be combined through the Buss Link for a higher channel count. The 5057
Orbit can also be used as a building block in an expandable summing
system utilizing the 5059 Satellite for flexible summing & routing,
and the 5060 Centerpiece for additional mixing and monitoring features.
These units create the core of a world-class analog modular console
system rivaling any traditional large-scale studio setup.
Channel Separation and Accuracy
With
precisely fixed channel levels and accurate mix buss attenuation via
high-quality stepped switching, the Orbit’s purist signal path has
vanishingly low crosstalk, and channels matched to within +/-0.1dB. This
provides your mixes with 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.
DAW Based Recall without Compromise
Frequent
recalls can be a challenge for modern mix engineers. The Orbit’s
elegant simplicity and fixed level accuracy provides rapid, repeatable
DAW-based recall from mix to mix, while adding the rich, unrivaled sound
quality of Mr. Neve’s class-A transformer-coupled mix buss.
There
are other summing solutions in the world – but only the 5057 Orbit,
5059 Satellite, and 5060 Centerpiece give you the legendary sound of
Rupert Neve.
