Product information "Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Console"

The analog standard

Elegant, flexible, and powerful: the discrete, modular
RND 5088 analog mixing console exemplifies the philosophy of outstanding signal processing and significantly raises the bar for sound quality.

The 5088's core consists of an expandable 16-channel line mixer with 8 bus groups, 8 aux sends, 4 stereo returns, and a stereo output bus. The channel strips can be freely configured to suit your needs. For this purpose, microphone preamps, compressors, equalizers, and more can be integrated into up to two Penthouses using the Portico series modules. Pure flexibility.

The 90V difference

The new, fully discrete architecture of the 5088 is the essence of Rupert Neve's accumulated experience in analog circuit design. High-voltage operational amplifiers custom-built for the 5088 completely eliminate crosstalk. The new op-amp cards offer generous headroom, a wide dynamic range, and astonishing frequency response, all while maintaining extremely low distortion and noise.

Legendary Transformers

As a staunch advocate of transformer-based designs, Rupert Neve has installed custom-designed transformers for each output and input. These transformers electrically decouple the console (floating ground) and ensure the classic, high-quality sound of his classic designs.

Completely Modular Design

As the heart of a studio, a mixing console must be reliable, offer uncompromising audio quality, and ensure a fluid workflow. The timeless design of the 5088 has been developed and continually improved over the past decades. In terms of sound, it represents the pinnacle of Rupert Neve's previous developments. Because the 5088 is completely modular, engineers can integrate their existing equipment and continue to use their microphone preamps, equalizers, and compressors without having to pay for unnecessary features on their channel strip.

Expansions, Penthouses, and Porticos:

Both the number of input channels and the channel strip features can be customized on the 5088 using a 16-channel expansion chassis and Penthouse frames. By adding one or two Penthouse frames, the modules of the Portico series can be installed. This creates, for example, channel strips equipped with microphone preamps, dynamics processing, and a 5-band equalizer. The module bays above the groups and the master section can be used for stereo bus and group processing, such as tape saturation emulation, stereo compression, and stereo field processing. Unlike other consoles, the Portico modules can be removed from the Penthouse at any time and used in standalone mode.

The meter bridge

Both a VU and an LED meter bridge for input and group level control are available for the 5088.

Automation:

Optional automation can be installed to expand the 5088 console with motorized faders and DAW read/write capability.

Safety Warnings: Die spezifischen Sicherheitshinweise für das Produkt sind in dessen Bedienungsanleitung aufgeführt.
