Tape Op Reviews the 5057 Orbit

“The 5057 Orbit has two big, beefy transformers that tilt the weight of the metal box in your hands, and there’s a wealth of copper-colored wire glistening through the ventilation grill. It’s got plenty of tone.”

“…[it] seems to soak up as much sound you throw at it, then spits it out sounding better. There is more air in the sound, and the harder you drive the Orbit, the further that air seems to expand, imparting a depth and separation to instruments.”

“…the 5057 Orbit was downright exciting on my mixes, yielding tons of fun and excellent, transferable results. This summing mixer made a believer out of me…"

“For my project studio, the 5057 Orbit would be at the top of the list. Exceptional features at a reasonable price; and without skimping on quality.”
