5060: 24x2 Desktop Mixer User Guide
Thank you for your purchase of a 5060 Desktop Mixer.
Everyone at Rupert Neve Designs hope you enjoy using this tool as much as we have enjoyed
designing and building it. Please take note of the following list of safety concerns and power
requirements before using the 5060 module.
Safety
It's usual to provide a list of "do's and dont's" under this heading but mostly these amount to
common sense issues. However, here are important safety requirements that must be adhered to:
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with a dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (includ-
ing amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs convenience recep-
tacles and at the point where the cord exits from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as when power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not op-
erate normally, or has been dropped.
14) Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
15) The apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Heat generated by the module is radiated through the case work, and by a silent fan at the back of the
module. Ventilation holes should not be covered or blocked for any reason. To avoid overheating, 5060
units should not be stacked immediately above or adjacent to other equipment that get hot. Also bear
in mind that other equipment may radiate strong hum fields which could spoil the performance of your
5060.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs convenience receptacles
and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety. Unplug the module during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Don’t operate your 5060 module in or around water! Electronic equipment and liquids are not good friends. If any liquid is spilled, such as soda, coffee, alcoholic or other drink, the sugars and acids will have a very detrimental effect. Sugar crystals act like little rectifiers and can produce noise (crackles, etc.). -

DAW. Although one could conceivably use parts of the 5060 in the pre DAW path, all of our suggestions use the 5060 entirely in the post DAW or “mix” path. In the “Lone 5060” configuration, up to 12 separate stereo pairs (stems) can be outputted from the DAW through the DAC and into the 5060 for analogue mixing. - Page 4 “The Lone 5060” Optional: Supplemental Digital Control Rupert Neve Designs MIC PRE + SILK Tablet Computers POWER Control Surfaces TRIM Digital Faders / Rotary Encoders Future Control Technology LEVEL GAIN 20Hz 250Hz TEXTURE SILK Equalizer Reverb 2 Delay Transport control...

One other way you can integrate hardware is to take the insert send signals on channels 1-8, run them out through processors like EQ and Compression, and then return them to a stereo pair on channels 9-24 for parallel stem processing.

- Page 8 To do this, create a tone generator in the DAW and assign it channel 1-2 with the output level at 0dB. Make sure SILK is off, and the stereo output gain on the 5060 is set to 0dB. Patch the stereo output to the 2-track destination (the device that is going to capture the mixed stereo signal).

Either USB or MIDI can be used to provide DAW transport control from the 5060. The USB functionality of the 5060 is plug and play in both PCs (win 7 and newer) and Mac (10.3 and newer). For older operating systems, the USB may work, however we recommend using a MIDI interface. 5060: Rupert... - Page 10 / peripherals / control surface setup in your DAW. For MIDI setup, simply connect the MIDI in / out on the 5060 to a MIDI in port on your MIDI interface, and the MIDI in port on the 5060 to the MIDI out port on your MIDI interface.
- Page 11 “sweet spot“ of the 5060. By pushing the level on the channel faders on the 5060 and backing off the level of the master fader, the mix insert can be engaged and the insert send transformers can be driven to create a dynamic saturation effect on the mix buss.
- Page 12 With silk/texture engaged, the distortion characteristic and harmonic content of the unit are very reminiscent of many of Rupert’s class-A vintage designs. These controls add an unparalleled range of tonal options to the 5060 and should be explored creatively with a variety of different sources for best effect.

this must surely emphasize the importance of listening to “natural” sound, and high quality musical instruments within acoustic environments that is subjectively pleasing so as to develop keen awareness that will contribute to a reliable data bank.
