Bring the Console to Your DAW
The Orbit isn't just a passive box; it's a dynamic instrument that breathes life into sterile digital mixes. By running your stems through its 16 channels of Class-A circuitry, you unlock a three-dimensional soundstage that plugins simply can't replicate. It offers the best of both worlds: the instant recall of your digital workflow and the undeniable mojo of real iron transformers.
Massive Headroom: With a 16-channel +/- 21V Class-A mix bus, the Orbit delivers massive headroom and vanishingly low noise. You can push your mix bus hard without worrying about harsh digital clipping, resulting in a wide, open sound that feels expensive.
Legendary Transformers: At the heart of the Orbit lies the custom Rupert Neve output transformer, originally developed for the acclaimed Shelford Channel. These transformers provide the harmonic complexity and musical non-linearity that have defined the sound of hit records for decades.
Seamless Integration: Designed to fit perfectly into a modern hybrid workflow, the Orbit features DB25 inputs for easy connection to your interface and XLR outputs for your mix print. It’s a set-and-forget solution that instantly upgrades the sonic quality of every track you bounce.
Craft Your Ideal Sound
While some summing mixers are designed to be transparent, the Orbit was born to drive. It gives you precise control over the amount of harmonic saturation you apply, allowing you to go from pristine clarity to thick, vintage grit with the turn of a knob. It's like having a master section from a large-format console at your fingertips.
Silk Red & Blue Modes: Tailor the harmonic content of your mix with the push of a button. Silk Red highlights the high-mid and high frequencies, adding shimmer and presence to vocals and snare drums, while Silk Blue enhances the low-end weight, perfect for fattening up bass guitars and kick drums.
Texture Control: The Texture knob works in tandem with the Silk modes, allowing you to continuously vary the amount of harmonic saturation. Whether you need a subtle touch of warmth or full-blown analog grit, you can dial in the exact amount of "vibe" your track calls for.
Dual Output Options: The Orbit features both a Main Output and a -6dB Output. The -6dB output allows you to drive the mix bus and transformers harder into saturation without clipping the next device in your chain, giving you more creative freedom to shape your sound.

Rupert Neve Designs MBT Master Bus Transformer
If your mixes have been asking for more weight, more width, more of that elusive "glue" that separates a good mix from a great one, the MBT Master Bus Transformer is the answer they've been waiting for.
Built around Rupert Neve's legendary Class-A, transformer-coupled signal paths, the MBT isn't just a piece of outboard gear; it's decades of audio philosophy packed into a single 1U rack unit. Equally at home on a full mix, stems, groups, or individual sources, it delivers the kind of tonal character that engineers spend entire careers chasing — and makes it surprisingly easy to find.
