Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core - Thunderbolt 3 & USB Audio Interface with 12 Discrete Preamps
The Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core is a flagship 2U rackmount audio interface that combines 12 discrete ultra-linear mic preamps, pristine 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA conversion, and the powerful Synergy Core real-time FX processing platform. With Thunderbolt 3 and USB connectivity, extensive analog and digital I/O, and over 50 modeled analog effects processed on-board with imperceptible latency, it serves as the ultimate centerpiece for professional recording, mixing, and production studios.
12 Discrete Ultra-Linear Preamps
Featuring 12 studio-grade discrete preamps with up to 75 dB of gain, the Orion Studio Synergy Core captures every nuance with stunning clarity and low noise. Four of the preamps are Hi-Z compatible for direct instrument recording, while all channels work seamlessly with Antelope’s Edge modeling microphones for authentic vintage mic emulations in real time.
Synergy Core Real-Time FX
Powered by 6 DSP + 2 FPGA chips, the Synergy Core platform runs over 50 faithfully modeled classic compressors, EQs, mic preamps, guitar amps, and more with zero latency and no strain on your computer. Load up to 144 effect instances per session for powerful, CPU-free processing during tracking and mixing.
