Sub-millisecond Roundtrip Latency. A Fact
Orion32+/Gen3 delivers true sub-millisecond round-trip latency for both AD and DA conversion. We proudly present the following stellar measurements, using our proprietary Windows Thunderbolt driver ver. 1.0.4.87 tested using the Oblique Audio RTL Utility. Stable playback & recording were achieved at these measured settings, in PreSonus Studio One 4, on an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU. But, let the figures speak for themselves.
