The Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite is a modern summing unit with 16 input channels and 2 main mixes. Each single channel can be freely panned and has its own insert channel. In addition, a switch allows the signal to be routed to Main Mix 1 or 2, pulling 2 stems from 16 channels.
The electronics of the 5059 Satellite represent an exclusive symbiosis of the requirements of modern technical equipment and the sonic needs of today's music production. To this end, a carefully designed and completely discrete Class A amplifier architecture was used to create an extremely linear and transient-true signal path that ensures optimum separation of the individual tracks in the output sums across the entire spectrum. The fast rise times and hardly measurable frequency influence provide a transparent clean sound image with perfectly mapped instruments and a clearly separated stereo image.
In addition to these basic characteristics, the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite, thanks to the well-known Rupert Neve Designs Texture circuitry, allows the targeted addition of harmonics by means of overdriving the transformers at the output of the main mixes. Here, not only can be saturated continuously, but there is also the possibility to switch between two tones (Silk Red u. Silk Blue).
