Nice.  Can’t wait to win the lotto I don’t play.  I’ve got the Orbir and it does give the big console flavor.  And if you want to hear how a musical a transformer can be, drive this unit.  The transformer just blooms your sound.

Cool!  A 16 channel model is a real bargain!

Sweet!  Only $14,000 extra for automation!

What's the different between this and my iCon Platform? Oh wait, iCon doesn't produce sound....

FYI, the Orbit is 16 a channel input summer, not console.  It only runs $2K.  It does have 2 separate stereo outs, but the alternate outs has a transformer that is -6 dB down so that is driven harder.  Again, if you’ve never heard a good Neve-tuned transformer, it is really revealing  when your music passes thru it hard.

I’ve heard but never worked on a 5088.  It is about par for big boards price wise with a full pre/eq section. The RND Sheffield channel strip alone is 4 grand.  Even the orbit is expensive.  A 16 channel summer shouldn’t cost over a grand but 2 custom transformer plus the silk options add up.  Top notch components and parts cost but makes for long  lasting equipment.
