Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite 16 x 2+2 Summing Mixer (Shelford Blue)

Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite 16 x 2+2 Summing Mixer (Shelford Blue) – premium analog summing mixer delivering Rupert Neve console warmth in a 2U rackmount design. Features 16 channels with level, pan, inserts, and dual Stereo 2 sends for stem mixing. Custom transformers and Class-A amps provide galvanic isolation and rich harmonics. Silk/Texture circuit with Red/Blue modes adds vibrant saturation. Ideal for DAW enhancement, outboard integration, and professional studios.

Each channel offers continuous level (-∞ to +10dB), center-detent pan (3dB law), and insert sends/returns. Master controls include dual bus outputs with Silk/Texture for harmonic density. Stereo 2 bus enables simultaneous stem processing. High headroom (+26dBu) and low noise ensure pristine summing. Cascadable for expanded setups.

Rugged build suits fixed or mobile rigs, elevating digital mixes with analog depth and presence.
