Sized for your desktop, the 5060 delivers the tonality and center section features of Rupert’s flagship 5088 console at your fingertips, cementing outboard together with serious custom transformers, flexible monitoring, DAW transport controls, and the raw power of a Rupert Neve-designed 24×2 mix-buss.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eDEFINE YOUR WORKFLOW\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith a modular, hybrid analog\/digital mix system built around the 5060, you can outfit your studio with exactly what you need – and nothing that you don’t. Utilizing modern DAW control technologies, the 5060 seamlessly integrates stem outputs from the DAW with the rest of your control room, sums the final mix, and provides 2-track outputs, source selection, and up to three speaker feed outputs from the monitor section.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUsed in conjunction with Rupert Neve Designs’ other summing products and outboard equipment, the 5060 Centerpiece forms the core of a scalable analog system. In this arrangement, additional summing mixers provide expandable channel counts and aux routing capabilities, Portico and Shelford modules provide preamplification, EQ, and dynamics, and the Centerpiece unites it all. The 5060 brings your dreams of a seamless hybrid workflow to reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eDEFINE YOUR TONE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith custom transformers, a Class A mix buss and variable Silk, the 5060 can provide a wide range of tonal flavors. Drive the mix buss hard and crank the Texture knob for a rich, saturated, vintage vibe – or disengage Silk entirely for clear, wide-open sonic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silk circuit reduces the negative feedback on the output transformer, adding harmonic content as the Texture is increased. Silk Red mode accentuates the saturation in the high-mids and highs, while Silk Blue features more saturation in the lows and low mids.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith Silk engaged, the 5060’s distortion characteristics and harmonic content are very reminiscent of many of Rupert’s Class A vintage designs – but here, these characteristics are fully variable. These controls add an unparalleled range of tonal options to the 5060, and should be explored creatively with a variety of different sources for best effect. Additionally, by using Rupert Neve Designs’ other summing products to feed the 5060, you can further control the tone by using different Silk \u0026amp; Texture settings on each individual stereo output, and by creating parallel processing on the stems using the insert sends into processors, and then into stereo inputs 9-24.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE NEW ANALOG STANDARD\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile digital technologies come and go, the modular, Class A analog designs Rupert created decades ago have been proven to stand the test of time. Instead of merely cloning these “classics”, Rupert’s team of engineers have crafted new designs – built on the same key principles – that take sonic performance, flexibility, and ergonomics to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese designs embody the high voltage, Class A, discrete and transformer-coupled architectures found in the 5088 console, which represent a culmination of Rupert’s vast analog circuitry knowledge. With the 5060 Centerpiece, the primary aim is to deliver the extraordinary quality of the 5088 in a compact, modular framework. With an abundance of interconnectivity, exceptional fidelity, and the tonal versatility of Silk, the 5060 is the ideal core of the sound-conscious modern studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450643509351,"sku":"147634","price":11999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/rnd-5060-centerpiece_147634_1_75899e4f-5cc2-454b-9273-d0272e2ae44f.jpg?v=1787093885","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/rupert-neve-designs-5060-centerpiece-shelford","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
