| Content | The Heritage Audio MCM-20.4 is a rackmount analog summing mixer that delivers vintage-quality sonics along with sophisticated routing options to streamline your hybrid studio setup. The MCM-20.4 offers 16 input channels arranged into two subgroups of eight. Each channel features concentric pan and level controls plus a balanced insert and a mute switch. Each group has its own stereo fader and balanced insert point. Both stereo subgroups are passively summed into the master bus, which has its own balanced insert point and VU meters. Makeup gain is provided by a transformer-coupled, 1073-style Class A mic preamplifier with four transformers (two per channel). Four channels of pre/post-fader aux sends are provided: AUX 1 and 2 are mono; AUX 3 is stereo. Insert send points are always signal-present, giving them an alternative use as direct outputs for recording. Rear-panel connections are made via DB-25 connectors; except for the master bus, which has dedicated XLRs.
The best of both worlds
Done up in classic RAF blue-gray livery — complete with concentric pots and Marconi knobs — the Heritage Audio MCM-20.4 gives visual hints as to the sound lurking beneath the bonnet. Flavored by four transformers, that sound is decidedly vintage British, although Heritage has taken pains to improve crosstalk and self-noise specs from those of the vintage designs. The smart-summing topology employed in the company's MCM series mixers delivers impressive headroom and low noise for a 20 channel, vintage-topology mixer. Sweetwater's advice: If you want to smoothly integrate analog gear — and robust, colorful sonics — into your DAW-based workflow, the Heritage Audio MCM-20.4 is a great-sounding, elegant solution.

Sweetwater would like to recommend a summing mixer that will seriously up your game: the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Shelford Edition. If you record and mix entirely within your DAW, you’re hampered by the inability to leverage the sonic advantages of high-quality analog outboard gear. Enter the 5059 Satellite. The 5059 gives you 16 channels — each with individual level and pan, plus insert and bus-2 send buttons. You get two stereo buses with RND’s proprietary Silk Texture controls, giving you effortless integration with outboard equipment, total control for two separate stem mixes, and the facility to dial in harmonic enhancement in two distinct flavors.
It’s a Neve
In serious audio circles, Rupert Neve needs no introduction. Large-format Neve consoles from the 1970s are considered by many to be the pinnacle of analog mixer design. Boasting the same design heritage and sonic perfectionism that went into the boards used to record countless hit records, the 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer graces your tracks with legendary Rupert Neve warmth, punch, and presence. With 16 channels of Rupert Neve designed Class A alchemy and flexible tonal and routing options, the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer will take your DAW-based studio’s sound to a whole new level.
Dial in the Silk
The Rupert Neve Designs’ 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer’s continuously variable Texture controls with Silk and Silk+ modes let you fine-tune the harmonic ratio and tonality of each of 5059’s stereo buses. The Silk mode adds sparkle to your tracks by introducing alluringly airy transformer saturation in the high frequencies. Silk+ mode accentuates saturation in the low frequencies, adding density and thickness to the source — particularly desirable when you’ve got a dry, lackluster mix. Distinctly different sounding from equalization, Texture saturates the output transformers, adding sweet, musical even-order harmonics to your source material for authoritative, radio-ready mixes that blast right out of the speakers.
Flexibility: it’s a beautiful thing
The dual stereo outputs of the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer are perfect for creating stem mixes, which you can enhance using the 5059’s Silk/Texture controls, then process through bus compressors or other devices via the inserts, finally feeding into the inputs of another mixer or your interface. You can send any input to stereo bus 1 or 2, and create two very different-sounding mixes from the same 16 channels. These are just some examples of the amazing flexibility you’ll enjoy when integrating the 5059 into your recording rig. Smartly attired in classic Shelford livery, the Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Summing Mixer is housed in a rugged, fan-cooled 2U steel chassis for dependable, no-compromise professional performance year after year, in the studio or on the road.
The legend continues
Rupert Neve’s 80-series consoles had a huge, punchy, and authoritative sound that defined the sound of ’70s rock. From London to New York to Los Angeles and beyond, top studios were installing Neve boards as fast as they could. By 1977, with the introduction of the NECAM automation system, 80-series boards were the main component of the success formula for any recording studio with world-class aspirations. Mr. Neve’s current company, Rupert Neve Designs, continues to advance the state of the art with cutting-edge products that sound incredible and intelligently address the challenges of the digital age. With your Rupert Neve Designs 5059 Satellite Shelford Edition from Sweetwater, the legend continues.
