Flexible, feature-rich analog summing with classic Rupert Neve console sound.Built around many of the topologies and custom transformers made famous with the 5088 mixer, the 5059 is a 16 x 2+2 summing mixer designed to deliver the ultimate out-of-the-box sonics and control in a 2U, rack-mountable chassis.The 5059 features 16 channels with individual level, pan, inserts, stereo-2 sends, and master texture controls, providing easy integration with outboard equipment, complete control for two separate stem mixes, and the ability to dial in analog mojo in two modes. With the same sonic heritage as mixers used to create countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite imbues your tracks with the legendary warmth and presence of a Rupert Neve design.“The difference in mixing in the box vs. through that summing mixer...it’s unbelievable the effect that it has.”
