Elevate Your Mixing with the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Shelford Edition
If you're working exclusively inside the box and looking to significantly enhance your mix, the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Shelford Edition is the summing mixer you need. While DAWs offer unparalleled convenience, they often lack the sonic depth and character provided by high-quality analog gear. The 5059 Satellite bridges this gap, providing 16 channels, each equipped with individual level and pan controls, as well as insert and bus-2 send buttons. With two stereo buses featuring RND’s proprietary Silk Texture controls, you gain seamless integration with outboard equipment, comprehensive control over two separate stem mixes, and the ability to apply harmonic enhancement in two distinct flavors.
