5057 Front-Panel Features
Mono
These four push-button switches allow the user to input mono signals for equal summing to the left and right mix buss
outputs. Each individual channel gets summed to mono at unity gain from input to output (0dBu In = 0dBu Out). There
is no pan law associated with this feature. If an input signal is connected to Channel 1 or Channel 2, and the MONO 1/2
button is depressed, that signal will be equally summed to the left and right mix buss outputs. If two identical input
signals are connected to Channels 1 and 2, the output will be +6dB due to standard voltage summing laws.
Silk
The SILK illuminated push-button switch allows the user to toggle between OFF, RED and BLUE SILK transformer modes.
Red SILK has adds high-frequency emphasis to the transformer harmonic content. Blue SILK adds low-frequency em-
phasis to the transformer harmonic content.
Texture
This 31-detent potentiometer allows the user to control the amount of harmonic saturation added to Main Out and -6dB
Out signal path. The texture potentiometer is only functional when Red or Blue SILK modes are engaged.
Signal Present / Overload (Left and Right)
The Signal Present / Overload LEDs illuminate green to show Signal Present conditions (-20dBu) and subsequently illu-
minate Red to indicate Overload conditions (+24dBu). The Overload LED illuminates when the signal is 2dB below clip
point in order to warn the user that the signal peaks are close to actual clip point so that the user can adjust accordingly.
Trim
This 12-position rotary switch allows the user to accurately adjust the desired attenuation level for the mix output. The
TRIM control is accurate to /- 0.1dB of the labeled attenuation steps on the front panel control. (see pg. 2)
Power
The front-panel POWER LED illuminates GREEN to provide the user with power status of the 5057.
Power
An IEC 3-Pin grounded AC inlet with power switch is provided on the back of the 5057. The 5057 can accept an input
range of 100-240VAC, and draws a maximum of 35 Watts. There are no user-accessible fuses, they are integrated within
the internal power supplies.
GND Lift
This slide switch lifts XLR Output Pin 1 from chassis ground. This switch enables the user to more effectively eliminate
ground loops if they are present.
-6dB Out
This output is fed from the custom Rupert Neve Designs tapped transformer output. This lower level output allows the
user to drive the transformer harder, achieving more harmonic saturation, without having to worry about clipping the
inputs of their DAW or other successive piece of gear. The -6dB Output and the Main Output can be connected simulta-
neously to feed two different destinations.
