Calling on the design topologies and custom transformers used in the 5088 analogue mixer and Portico II Series, Rupert Neve Designs’ 5059 16×2+2 Summing Mixer provides 16 channels with individual level, pan, inserts, stereo-2 sends, and master texture controls in a 2U-high rack chassis.

Allowing easy integration with other outboard equipment, the 5059 gives two separate stem mixes, and the ability to add ‘analogue mojo’ in either of two operational modes.

‘The class-A topologies in the 5059 have been fine-tuned over a number of years to provide exceptional sonic performance and virtually eliminate crossover distortion,’ the company says. ‘When combined with 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.’

Alongside aux functionality with a second 5059 module, the dual stereo outputs of the 5059 are can be used used for creating stem mixes, which can be treated with the Silk/Texture controls. The signal is then processed by bus compressors or other devices, and fed into inputs of another mixer or an ADC.
