An outstanding addition to any DAW-based studio
With a Class A mix bus and custom transformers, the Rupert Neve Designs 5060 Centerpiece gives you the gloriously vibrant sound that made Neve consoles among the most revered mixing desks in recording history. For today’s DAW-based studios, the 5060 Centerpiece gives you the sound of Rupert Neve Designs’ renowned 5088 console in a smart design tailored to your DAW workflow.
A powerful 24x2 summing mixer
Engineers at Sweetwater appreciate the flexibility and sonic advantages the 5060 brings to DAW-based setups. You can mix up to 24 tracks from your DAW on the 5060 Centerpiece, and you’ve even got insert points on the master bus and inputs 1–8 for adding external processors to your signal chain. The 5060 Centerpiece’s high mix headroom means your mixes will sound fuller, punchier, and more dynamic than ever before.
Versatile Silk and Texture controls let you create the perfect musical vibe
The 5060 Centerpiece offers two Silk modes that let you fine-tune the harmonic ratio and tonality of the mix bus. The Silk Red mode adds sparkle to your tracks by enhancing transformer saturation in the high and high-mid frequencies. Silk Blue mode accentuates saturation in the low frequencies, adding density and thickness to the source — particularly desirable when you’ve got a dry, lackluster mix.
DAW control and other smart features enhance your studio’s workflow
With transport controls for your DAW software, the 5060 Centerpiece bridges the gap between an analog mixer and a digital control surface. And that’s not the only workflow convenience you’ll find here. A built-in talkback mic, a powerful headphone amplifier, and multiple monitor outputs make the 5060 Centerpiece much more than a summing mixer — it’s the new control center for your studio.
