Rupert Neve Satellite 5059 16x2+2 Mixer - Manual (Page 6)

The third examples shows the 5059 used to create “stems” that feed into a 5088 or any other mixer
(the two stems can also be brought back into a DAW if necessary as well). In this case, the two stereo
outputs create two separate subgroups with the intention of summing them back together at a later stage.
Two separate settings of texture / silk can be used, and both stems can be processed with equipment
like the Portico II Master Buss Processor or a stereo EQ. The final mixing stage in this configuration
feeds both the monitors and the 2-track recorder. The fourth example also creates stems, but it also
incorporates a patchbay, and utilizes both the line inputs and insert returns to switch between the DAC
and other line level sources. The stems are both returned to the DAW.
With two 5059 modules, the same concepts can be applied. The first example arranges the two 5059’s
to mix 32 channels into 4 stereo “stems”. Like the “stem” mixing configurations with one module,
this method requires a secondary mixer or final capture into a DAW. If there is no secondary mixer
available, the two stems in the first 5059 can be mixed into one mix buss on the second 5059.
A second 5059 can also be used to create four auxes for feeding cue sends, reverb, or any other
processing module connected to its outputs. In this case, the second 5059’s line inputs are fed from the
insert sends of the first 5059. Like the other configuration with two 5059’s, the stems and auxes must be
summed in a mixer or captured into a DAW.
