With the same sonic heritage as mixers used to create countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite Mixer imbues tracks with the legendary warmth and presence of a Rupert Neve design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Signature of Excellence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important element of the 5059 is its legendary sound. The keys to the sonic prowess of the 5059 are the custom transformers and true class-A topologies found within. The class-A topologies in the 5059 have been fine-tuned over a number of years to provide exceptional sonic performance and completely eliminate cross-over 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaking Connections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne drawback to mixing \"in the box\" is the inability to use high-quality analogue outboard equipment. Channel inserts are provided in the 5059 to streamline interconnections with analogue 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom Clean to Colored and Everywhere in Between\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery mix demands its own treatment; continuously variable Texture controls with Silk and Silk+ modes allow the engineer to fine-tune the harmonic ratio and tonality of each stereo send of the 5059, or leave each mix pristine. The Silk mode accentuates the transformer saturation in the high frequencies to add a \"sparkle\" to tracks. The Silk + mode accentuates the saturation of the low frequencies to add thickness and density to any source – especially useful for dry, somewhat anaemic mixes. Unlike EQ, the texture control saturates the output transformers and adds musical harmonics to the source material according to the amount of texture applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStem It or Sum It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAside from providing aux functionality with a second 5059 module, the dual stereo outputs of the 5059 are generally used for creating stem mixes. These stem mixes can be enhanced using the Silk \/ Texture controls on the 5059, then processed by buss compressors or other devices, and fed into inputs of another mixer or an ADC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 16 channels of Rupert Neve designed class-A magic and numerous tonal and routing options, the 5059 Satellite mixer will elevate your DAW-based studio’s sound and performance to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44941624639780,"sku":"ITM006054","price":2399.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/products\/rnd-5059-shelford-kmr.jpg?v=1788328547"},{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-5211","title":"Rupert Neve Designs 5211","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRupert Neve Designs 5211\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a dual-channel mic preamp with a Variable Silk circuit, Class A output stage with custom transformer and new +\/-21V power rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/files\/rnd-5211-kmr_1_480x480.png?v=1692808549\" alt=\"Rupert Neve Designs 5211\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Rupert Neve Designs 5211 uses the same Transformer-Like Amplifier balanced mic input of the original portico 5012, designed to capture the sound in its purest form.

The RN4012 transformer provides 15dB of gain while discrete Class-A amplifier blocks are delivering another 57dB for a total 72dB, controlled via stepped attenuator and precision trim pot. This design produces the unmistakable smooth high and low frequencies of vintage equipment but with incredibly low noise floor and superior isolation.

The midrange band builds on the 1073 EQ design with proportional Q response and provides -15dB\/+15dB of gain.

Combined with the surrounding class-A circuitry, this specially crafted transformer plays a pivotal role in the amplifier's distinctive mid-focused magic that graces thousands of classic recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most of the harmonic richness in Rupert's designs emanates from the output transformer and surrounding class-A amplifiers, this input step-up transformer introduces a unique musical enhancement. The technical reasons for this enhancement are primarily due to the reactive impedance characteristics of the input transformer and how it interacts with the connected microphone, resulting in subtle, non-linear harmonic enrichments in the low frequencies and a remarkable sweetness in the high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal in creating the input stage for the Shelford Channel and Dual Shelford Pre was not mere replication but advancement. It combines the vintage technology's unmistakable sound with a wide-bandwidth frequency response, consistent amplifier performance across all gain settings, and exceptionally low noise operation. Custom transformer designs were meticulously optimized, and complete MuMetal shielding of the input transformer was implemented, resulting in a preamplifier that remains flat from below 10Hz to above 60kHz, offering the purest possible tone and unparalleled versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Silk?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exclusive Silk \u0026amp; Texture circuit on the Dual Shelford Mic Pre empowers you to fine-tune the harmonic content in the output stage.
