Product information

General

When you pick up this Antelope Audio offering, you don't just get an audio interface, you get a fat bundle of 90 real-time outboard hardware emulations, including legendary EQs, compressors, microphone preamps and effects. All of these emulations run directly from the FPGA and DSP chips that make up part of the audio interface, lightening the load on the CPU of your computer and leaving it free to concentrate on other tasks. This bundle also gives you the right to a yearlong Synergy Core Native membership for just £9.99, where plugins can be downloaded and added to your DAW as native plugins.

Antelope Audio MRC Included

The Antelope Audio MRC multi-channel remote controller gives you tactile control over Antelope Audio's surround sound and immersive audio monitoring systems like the Galaxy 32 en Orion 32+ G4. The smart lay-out and practical buttons streamline your workflow by making it easy to toggle between a calibrated multi-channel output and the stereo output, and gives you access to 23 possible monitoring format options, ranging from stereo to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. All presets are fully customisable and, leaving nothing to chance, Antelope have fitted LED indicators so you can see what's going on at a glance. Completely plug-and-play, the MRC is USB-C-powered and comes in a solid metal housing with a slick brushed aluminium finish.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

This is a fantastic unit. Amazing sounding converters and preamps. So many useful features that a lot of other companies fail to leave out. Getting the Edge Duo bundled with the interface was a big bonus and having direct access to the mic emulations in the preamp section make its so easy to get great sounds without any messing. Really well designed routing and intergrated effects makes this the ideal interface for any studio large or small. Really can't reccomend this evough. 10 of 5 start. it's scarry good.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

Wow what can i say. about three years ago i was looking for an interface and had it down to the focusrite clarrett 8prex and the Antelope discrete 8. for some reason i went with the focusrite. what a big mistake. as i am on windows i was stuck with a beta driver that worked for a lot of the time and fought with it for three year untill it decided it didnt want to play nicely anymore so was definitely time to change. in terms of i/o there wasnt too much choice for me and narrowed it down to the new discrete8. as i was about to hit the and to basket i saw the orion studio bundled with the Edge duo mic. I thought this looked amazing and would be crazy to turn down a deal like that . managed to scrape the extra money together for it and after plugging it in i am so glad i did. wow what an upgrade to what ive been using. no comparison. Its sounds incredible. Really couldnt ask for any more in an interface. The converters sound fantastic, The preamps sound better than the few choice pre amp i already have (which are probably gonna be sold now). The Routing is insanely well thought out. Being able to patch hardware into the converters and bypassing the preamps is a nice touch always something i had an issue with in the past. My only regreat was not getting the Discrete 8 in the first place. Really cannot reccomend this enouogh. its got everything and a whole lot more you could ever need and most important its sounds amazing. took me a whole minute to get up and running. cant say that about my last interface. If your thinking of a new interface, Look no further and join the Antelop Family.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

I am very new to Antelope Audio, but this unit is brilliant. My primary reason was mic modelling technology and after much research, Antelope Audio was the way I went.

Since I took receipt of the unit, it does not disappoint, and the integration into my workflow has been very positive. With the mic modelling technology, the units onboard processing, the plug-in emulations, and the clarity of the mic-pre’s make this unit a serious bit of kit which can easily work in a pro environment to home recording spaces.

Awesome

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

Very clean sounding converters and preamps with more i/o than any other interface in this price range. The realtime effects are top notch and great for zero latenncy mixing and tracking. The Antelope Audio support staff have been very helpful and are always there if you need them. All in all a great product with professional build quality.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

This is my second interface from Antelope, as upgraded my Orion Studio to the latest version in order to use the new plugins based on the newly added DSP cores.

This company produces pristine hardware and software, but be aware that they drop the driver update process of old hardware quite quickly, and that third-party plugins like Autotune are excluded from promotions.

The support is very responsive to queries, and they remotely fix issues

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

Top toestel. Eindelijk een interface die onder Windows perfect over Thunderbolt werkt. Top geluidskwaliteit en eenvoudig te begrijpen routing-tabel.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

Ik vind het een heel stuk meesterwerk voor in de studio en vooral de plugins die je kunt kopen zoals bijv. de auto tune en verder leuke compressors en equalizers die je heel goed kan gebruiken van het masseren van de muziek die je opneemt

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

This is a really great sounding interface.
The converters are sublime, I hear so much more detail in recordings. Extensively configurable routing options via the software interface and enough inputs and outputs. Furthermore, a large number of useful effects are included as standard. Just activate the Orion Studio Synergy Core and download the latest drivers via the Antelope website. Effects run independently on the unit and require no computing power from your computer Perfect!!

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

This is superb equipment! Your audio interface is the heart of your DAW studio setup. It is where sound quality begins and ends. So there's plenty of reasons to buy the best there is. I am pretty sure the Antelope Orion Studio is just that!
It has all the ins and outs I need with plenty of extra connectivity. Preamps and converters are magnificent. Connections and knobs are sturdy and professional quality. Effects are top notch and plenty with no latency monitoring and relief of cpu usage during mixing/mastering. Routing is comprehensive and full of handy, smart options.
Last but not least: great customer support!
I highly recommend this gear! I love it and will never regret the money I spent on it. Not cheap maybe, but well worth every penny.

Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C audio interface

Avantages:

Le son, le meilleur de cette gamme de prix. Mes mixages sonnent vreiment clair et spacieux par rapport à mon ancienne carte son.

Excellents convertisseurs A / N - N / A.

Construction solide. Ce n'est pas chinoise comme la Universal Audio Apollo. ;)

Très bon routing, vous pouvez faire ce que vous voulez.

Les plugins sont excellents, un son analogique incroyable.

C'est une carte son haute gamme.

Le SAV ça marche bien.



Les inconvénients:

Le logiciel a besoin d'être amélioré, en particulier les "Save and Load".

Le plugin Vca 160 est très bon, mais les paramètres sont perdus lors de l'ouverture d'une session enregistrée.

Parfois, le plugin opto 2A (teletronix) arrête de fonctionner sans explication.

Afx2daw ne fonctionne pas à 96 kHz dans Pro Tools. Mais a 48 khz ça marche bien.



Si Antelope est capable d'améliorer le logiciel et de rendre le système plus stable, je pense que ce serait la meilleure interface dispo dans ce prix.

Merci.
