The Rupert Neve Designs 5057 Orbit is a 16 x 2 summing mixer designed to bring the legendary Neve analog sound to your digital mixes. Perfect for studios and mix engineers looking to add warmth, depth, and detail to in-the-box productions, the 5057 Orbit uses custom transformers and Rupert Neve's famous harmonic circuitry to transform sterile digital tracks into vibrant, dynamic mixes.

At the heart of the 5057 Orbit is its custom transformer-coupled output stage, which imparts the signature Neve tonal character. These transformers saturate gracefully, adding subtle harmonics and richness to your mix, particularly noticeable in the low end and midrange. This results in a fuller, more dimensional sound, bringing the energy and presence of classic analog consoles to modern DAWs.

For further tonal shaping, the 5057 Orbit includes Rupert Neve's acclaimed Silk processing. The Silk control provides two distinct modes—Silk Red and Silk Blue—that allow engineers to dial in different textures of harmonic distortion. Silk Red emphasizes harmonic content in the high-end, adding brightness and energy, while Silk Blue enhances the low-end and midrange for a thicker, rounder sound. These options enable precise control over the tonal color of your final mix, whether you're looking for added sheen or a warmer, vintage tone.

With 16 input channels and a +21dBu headroom, the 5057 Orbit handles complex, dynamic sessions with ease, allowing you to sum multiple stems or mix outputs into a stereo signal that’s larger than the sum of its parts. This high-headroom design ensures your mix retains clarity, even when pushing levels to drive the transformers for creative effect.

The 5057 Orbit’s compact rackmount form factor makes it an ideal addition to any professional or project studio. It integrates seamlessly with DAWs, hardware processors, or additional summing units, offering flexible routing options to fit your workflow. Whether you're mixing music, film scores, or broadcast audio, the 5057 Orbit enhances the depth and cohesion of your mix, bridging the gap between analog warmth and digital precision.

From tight, controlled low-end punch to shimmering highs, the Rupert Neve Designs 5057 Orbit excels at bringing the best of analog summing to modern productions. Its robust construction, intuitive controls, and unmistakable Neve sound make it a go-to solution for those who want to elevate their digital mixes with the richness and character of classic analog consoles.
