  • Page 4: Introduction

    Please contact our support team at the following email address for troubleshooting if you encounter an issue: service@rupertneve.com DO NOT operate the 5088 near any water sources or in areas with high indoor air pollution. (smoke, dust, etc.) DO NOT place any beverages on or around the 5088 console. If liquids (water, coffee, soda, etc.) are spilled on the console, immediately turn off all console power supplies.

  • Page 5: Unpacking

    Unpacking the 5088 The 5088 is a large-format mixing console that ships in high-quality wooden crates to ensure safe transport. These are a few important items to note when getting ready to unpack and install a 5088 console. 1. Please make sure to have at least 4 people on-hand to help with unpacking the crate and moving the console.
  • Page 6 Unpacking the 5088 (continued) 1. Use a powered drill with a Phillips head bit to unscrew the top panel of the crate. 2. Carefully slide the top panel off the crate and set it safely to the side. 3. Starting with the bottom center screw, remove the longer side panel by alternately loosening the screws on the left and right sides of the panel.
  • Page 7 Unpacking the 5088 (continued) 4. A) For 16 and 32 Channel consoles, unscrew the brace that supports the Meter Bridge. 1. Carefully lift it out of the crate. 2. Unscrew the brace that lays across the penthouse section and carefully lift it out of the crate.
  • Page 8 When lifting the front of the console it is best to hold it by the metal frame, NOT the armrest. 6. Once the 5088 is out of the crate you may begin removing the boxes from the bottom section of the crate.

  • Page 9: Installing Modules

    BEFORE loading the 5088 chassis with modules, make sure to secure the chassis to the console stand once it is placed in the desired location. A fully loaded 5088 console can weigh more than 750lbs, making it significantly more difficult to reposition once it is loaded.

  • Page 10: Connecting The Main Power Supply

    Connecting the Main Power Supply The 4 RU Main Power Supply included with the 5088 Console is designed to supply power to 32 channels maximum. If another 16 Channel Expansion Chassis is added, an additional power supply will be required.

    Alternatively, in order to capture a more complete picture of the 5088’s sonic character, the penthouse module outputs can be routed to the line inputs on the 5088, and the 5088’s Direct Outputs can be connected to the A/D Converter/tape machine inputs for recording through the 5088, using Auxes 1-8 and Groups 1-8 to create cue mixes and effects sends/returns.
