The Rupert Neve Designs Satellite is a modern summing amplifier with 16 input channels and 2 main mixes. Each channel can be freely panned and has its own insert channel. In addition, a switch allows the signal to be routed to Main Mix 1 or 2, pulling 2 stems from 16 channels.

The Satellite's electronics represent an exclusive symbiosis of the requirements of modern technical equipment and the sonic needs of today's music production. To this end, a carefully designed and completely discrete Class A amplifier architecture was used to create an extremely linear and transient-true signal path that ensures optimum separation of the individual tracks in the output sums across the entire spectrum. The fast rise times and hardly measurable frequency influence provide a transparent clean sound image with perfectly mapped instruments and a clearly separated stereo image.

In addition to these basic characteristics, the Satellite allows the targeted addition of harmonics by means of overdriving the transformers at the output of the main mixes, thanks to the well-known Rupert Neve Designs Texture circuit. Not only is saturation infinitely variable, but there is also the option of switching between two timbres (Silk Red and Silk Blue).
