After more than four years in development, Andy Rigby-Jones has released the Orbit.6 DJ Mixer. The brilliant Rigby-Jones, known for his Allen & Heath, MasterSounds Audio, TPI and Play Differently’s DJ mixers, has finally stopped tinkering with his finicky Jaguar, and designed the Orbit.6 under his own brand, Union Audio.
The six-channel rack-mounted analogue rotary mixer features a per-channel valve stage, and a fully discrete internal signal path from Channel Input to Mix-Out. Equipped with four RIAA and eight RCA Line inputs. Each channel contains an Aux send, High-Pass Filter and a heavily damped rotary fader, using Union Audio’s bespoke dampR system.

“It has long been my dream to launch Union Audio’s own product line, so it’s incredibly exciting to see all this effort finally come to fruition,” said company founder, Andy Rigby-Jones.
Designed for the home studios of DJs and vinyl enthusiasts, as well as resident mixer in the booths of clubs and entertainment venues, Orbit.6 presents a unique and distinctive listening experience. The Orbit.6 claims to offer “sweet clear highs, warm forward mids, and extended, driving low end.” There is also an EQ/Isolator and custom VU Meters on the master bus.
The six rotary channel faders feature a custom damper, developed in-house by Union Audio and dubbed, dampR. This damping system, gives a silky smooth, heavily weighted feel for the most precise of mix transitions, while the constant-torque makes for easy and subtle level changes, taking the rotary mixer experience to new heights. And unlike a conventional potentiometer, the damping system will not lose its feel over time. To further enhance the mix experience, each of the 33mm classically styled fader knobs are subtly backlit for easy identification in low light conditions.
Union Audio’s Orbit.6 is crafted using only premium-grade materials and components with discrete circuitry to ensure long life and superb sound quality. The front panel is precision machined from 6mm 5083 Aluminum tooling plate, glass bead blasted, black anodized and white silk-screened, while the rugged steel chassis is manufactured from 1.5mm Zintec, black texture powder-coated and white silkscreened. All connectors are either gold or silver plated, and internally high precision film capacitors are used throughout. Potentiometers are long-life metal-shaft Alps types.
