About Antelope Audio Orion 32+ and MP32

Orion32+

32-Channels Of Audio Via Thunderbolt USB

Connect Orion32+ To Any DAW On The Market
Orion32+ is a successor to the world's first 32-channel AD/DA, now offering a greater variety of interfaces such as Thunderbolt, MADI and USB. The digital connectivity options are complimented also by ADAT and S/PDIF. Orion32+ provides seamless connectivity to any DAW, allowing for low latency simultaneous I/O streaming of 32 channels of 24-bit, 192 kHz audio signal. The analog I/O are handled by 8 D-Sub 25 connectors and a pair of TRS connectors for the monitoring.

Powerful FPGA
Custom FPGA for flawless real-time effects processing integrated AFX.

64-Bit Acoustically Focused Clocking
AD/DA powered by their world-renowned jitter management algorithm.

Extended Connectivity
Thunderbolt, MADI, USB, ADAT, S/PDIF, 8x D-Sub 25.

Supreme Clocking
Oven Controlled Oscillator, 2 WC Outs, WC In, Atomic Clock In.

Software Control
Routing, mixing, real-time effects processing via OS X Windows compatible app.

Stunning Flexibility
Enhanced Routing, Mixing and Monitoring.

Orion32+ offers stunning flexibility and great productivity, providing a color-coded routing matrix with four separate mixers, built-in DSP effects and zero latency monitoring. The entire control is gathered in a desktop application available for both OS X and Windows. The control panel is based on the software created initially for Orion32 and further developed for another Antelope Audio leading product, Zen Studio. Orion32+ control panel is an extremely intuitive user-friendly interface, which incorporates both their know-how and customers' feedback.

High-End Clocking Conversion

Digital Clarity Meets Analog Detail In Antelope Audio's Signature Sound
The proven clocking accuracy is supported by Antelope's renowned 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management technology, the same as with the flagship Trinity Master Clock. The clean, transparent and detailed conversion in Orion32+ is the same as with its predecessor, which has proved its sound quality in a great number of studios and live shows across the Globe.

The 10 MHz input, enabling connectivity to Antelope's legendary 10M Atomic Clock and its successor 10MX, makes Orion32+ crystal oscillator remarkably precise, emphasizing the signature Antelope sound. The two word clock outputs make Orion32+ a great fit in any setup, not only as an interface, but a master clock as well.

The Power Of The On-board DSP

Antelope Audio Fitted The Orion32+ With Their Own Proprietary DSP Engine
It is optimized to run custom equalization, compression and reverb plug-ins. This potent processing arsenal includes their new AuraVerb, as well as other effects to be released all included at no additional cost. AuraVerb creates various ambient colors or "Auras", using a unique algorithm to provide richness like no other reverb plugin on the market. Producers can easily design thickening effects, washing effects, bright halo type film score effects.

There are also darkened mood effects and long, clear and rich decays just a few of the many dimensions, which AuraVerb is able to add to the mix. AuraVerb comes with reverb presets, exclusively designed by the 5-time Grammy Award winning recording and mixing engineer Brian "Dr. Vibb" Vibberts.

MP32

Does Your Orion32 / Orion32+ Feel Lonely?

This 32-Channel Mic Pres Perfectly Matches The Orion32 Orion32+ Audio Interfaces
MP32 is a 32-channel console-grade microphone preamp with integrated software remote control and Antelope Audio's exciting new approach to analog circuit design. The rave reviews shared by several top audio engineers regarding the quality of the 12 mic preamps in their portable audio interface Zen Studio urged them to expand further and create a 32-channel mic preamp housed in only two rack spaces.

Antelope Audio designed MP32 to be a perfect match for their top-selling audio interface Orion32 or its Thunderbolt successor Orion32+. This ensures a full transparency of the sound and complete integrity of the signal via the whole chain, from the mic pres through the conversion, recording and playback, all of them characterized by the signature Antelope sound. The combination of the Orion32 and MP32 - totalling just 3U in rack space - make it a perfectly suited solution for studios and live recording where rack space can be a precious commodity.

Analog Feel
MP32 features 32 class-A mic pres with phantom power, 32 line inputs, of which 4 can operate as Hi-Z instrument inputs. All inputs are XLR combos on the front panel of the MP32. MP32's mic preamps are open and transparent, yet designed to maintain both signal clarity and sonic realism consistently throughout the recording process. The MP32 offers excellent headroom and up to 68 dB of gain in 1 dB steps, more than enough to power even the most demanding ribbon mics, while maintaining ultra-low THD+N (-110.5 dB).

Digital Convenience

Control MP32 Via Its Fast And Flexible Software Control Panel
A user-friendly control panel for OS X or Windows allows for easy remote management of the device's input types and mic gain levels. The intuitive software control panel provides fast set up and easy fine-tuning of individual mic preamp gain, as well as the independent assignment of phantom power and mic/line/hi-z switching.

Complex gain structure and preamp settings are made incredibly simple by the user-defined presets, just a mouse click away. In addition, individual V/U style metering allows for instant signal confirmation at a glance of the software.

Let's Recap

In Just 2U Space
32 class-A mic pres with phantom power; 32 line inputs, 4 of which can operate as Hi-Z instrument inputs; all front panel inputs are XLR combos. Plus, the MP 32 offers up to 68 dB of gain in 1 dB steps, while maintaining ultra-low THD+N (-110.5 dB).
