With Rupert Neve's famous custom transformers and Silk Red \u0026 Blue circuits for variable harmonic saturation, Orbit takes sterile \"in-the-box\" mixes to new heights of depth and sonic clarity - without compromising the benefits of recalls and a DAW-based workflow.\n\nBorn to Drive\nWhen you saturate a mix bus and the output transformers, the musical and non-linear harmonics that appear are the true \"glue\" that can unite and bring recordings to life. Instead of using an external summing solution that offers little more than an ultra-clean representation of the in-the-box experience, Orbit provides the extraordinary richness, harmonic complexity, and depth that only a Rupert Neve console can bring to a mix.\n\nOrbit uses a custom output transformer originally developed for the Shelford Channel, which provides both a Main Output and a -6dB output. The latter allows Orbit to be driven to achieve more transformer harmonics without clipping the next device in the chain. This transformer has, over the years, become a Rupert Neve hallmark, and its sound can be found on countless records.\n\nClassic Sounds on Demand\nEvery mix requires its specific treatment. In addition to the choice of outputs, the continuous \"Texture\" control with Silk Red and Silk Blue modes will give you complete control over the harmonic density and tone of your mix - or it will allow you to leave it clean and uncolored. Silk Red mode emphasizes transformer saturation in the high and mid-high frequencies to amplify harmonics in the mid-range, often associated with vintage Rupert Neve equipment, while Silk Blue emphasizes saturation on the lows and mid-lows to add \"sonic weight\" to any source. Especially for those mixes that sound \"small\". Unlike EQs, these controls saturate the output transformers and add harmonic saturations to the source depending on the amount of Texture applied.\n\nBuild Your Dreams\nWhile the Orbit, on its own, is an extremely effective tool, to increase the number of channels, multiple units can be added via the Buss Link. The 5057 Orbit can also be used as an initial element in an expandable summing system using the 5059 Satellite for flexible summing \u0026 routing, along with the 5060 Centerpiece for additional mixing and monitoring functions. These units create the core for a modular system of an excellent analog console capable of competing with any much larger studio setup.\n\nChannel Separation and Precision\nWith precisely set channel levels and accurate mix buss attenuation via high-quality stepped switches, the Orbit's pure signal path and matched channels provide very low (almost non-existent) crosstalk, between +\/-0.1dB. This will give your mixes a wider and more accurate stereo image, great depth, and the most direct signal path that will allow you to perceive every single detail of your mixes.\n\nDAW Based Recall without Compromise\nFrequent recalls can be a challenge for modern mix engineers. The elegant simplicity and precision (fixed level accuracy) of the Orbit allows for fast and easily repeatable DAW-based recall from one mix to another, adding the rich, unparalleled 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, the 5059 Satellite, and the 5060 Centerpiece will give you the legendary Rupert Neve sound.\n\nFEATURES\n16 Channel +\/- 21V Class-A mix buss for massive headroom\nSilk Red \u0026 Blue modes with Texture control to precisely manage the preferred amount of classic tonality\nDual-tap output transformers create a rich, harmonically rich sound character without clipping downstream devices in the audio chain\nMono switches allow precise centering of each mono element of the mix, such as vocals, kick drum, snare drum, and bass\nExcellent linearity and precision, better than +\/-0.1dB per channel\nUltra-low crosstalk for great sonic depth and a wider, more open stereo image\nExpandable with other 5057 units via buss link to increase the number of channels\nRecallable, fast DAW-based recall with the added rich, unparalleled sound quality of Rupert Neve Designs\nRobust and compact 1U chassis design, with DB25 inputs and XLR outputs, combinable with other Rupert Neve Designs summing mixers to create an absolute top-level modular mixing system\n\nSPECIFICATIONS\nInput Impedance: 16 kΩ\nFrequency Response: 10 Hz to 50 kHz: +\/- 0.1dB 150 kHz: -3dB\nNoise (22 Hz - 22 kHz): -90 dBu typical\nMaximum Input Level @ 1 kHz: +26dBu\nMaximum Output Level @ 1 kHz: +26dBu\nTHD+N% (22 Hz - 22 kHz):\n0 dBu @ 1kHz: 0.003%\n+20 dBu @ 1kHz: 0.0006%\nCrosstalk:\n1 kHz: -103 dBu\n10 kHz: -93 dBu\n\nWEIGHT \u0026 DIMENSIONS\nProduct Dimensions (W x D x H): 19” (48.3 cm) x 9” (22.9 cm) x 1.75” (4.4 cm)\nShipping Dimensions (L x W x H): 24” (61 cm) x 13” (33 cm) x 4” (10.2 cm)\nShipping Weight: 10 lbs (4.5 kg)","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994109698381,"sku":"RND5057","price":1476.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/139404-large_default.jpg?v=1779951264","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/rupert-neve-designs-5057-orbit-16-x-2-summing-mixer","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
