Description
The Union Audio orbit.6 is a 6-channel rotary rackmount mixer specifically designed for discerning vinyl lovers and audiophile DJs. Each of its six channels features a dedicated tube stage (valve stage) and a fully discrete analog signal path from input to output, delivering an exceptionally clear, warm, and dynamic sound. With four RIAA and eight line inputs, high-pass filters, aux send, and custom-damped rotary faders, the orbit.6 offers uncompromising control over your audio signal. The proprietary damping system provides a smooth, velvety fader feel that remains consistent over time. In the master section, a 3-band EQ/isolator and precision analog VU meters ensure clear monitoring and creative flexibility. Built with premium materials - including a 6?mm bead-blasted, black anodized aluminum front panel and gold-plated connectors - the orbit.6 delivers an audiophile-grade experience that enhances both compact setups and high-end sound systems. Designed by Andy Rigby-Jones and handcrafted in Cornwall, UK, the orbit.6 is a true statement piece for professional sound.
