About Antelope Audio Orion Studio

How does the Orion Studio Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 and USB Audio Interface redefine the boundaries of music production This advanced audio interface is a powerhouse of professional-grade audio conversion and connectivity. It's designed to deliver high-quality audio conversion, making it the perfect choice for professional musicians, producers, and engineers who demand superior sound quality for their recordings.

The Orion Studio Synergy Core is equipped with two proprietary Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chips and six ARM-based DSP processors. This innovative combination offers astounding computing power, allowing the device to handle up to 32 FX channel strips X 8 FX slots each for a maximum of 256 FX instances, at any sample rate and over AFX2DAW. This is four times the processing power of the Orion Studio Rev. 2017, making it a true FX processing beast.

The device features both Thunderbolt 3 and USB connectivity options, offering versatile connectivity for a wide range of devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. This makes it an ideal choice for musicians and producers who need to work on the go. The Orion Studio Synergy Core is also backward-compatible with Thunderbolt 2 and includes a USB 2.0 port for added convenience.

The Orion Studio Synergy Core comes with a compelling library of 50 real-time studio effects, meticulously modeled after their hardware originals. These effects are processed inside the audio interface with the lowest latency possible, thanks to the FPGA's massive parallel computing capabilities, DSP processing, and fast Thunderbolt connectivity. The library can be expanded to include any effects you choose from our web store.

The Orion Studio Synergy Core is also equipped with 12 discrete preamps, providing exceptional sound quality for vocal and instrument recording. All analog inputs have the Direct-In feature, allowing you to bypass preamp controls and record line-in signals directly into the converters.

The Orion Studio Synergy Core's Accusonic 3D modeling engine lets you transform the Antelope Audio Edge and Verge modeling microphones into expensive-sounding vintage replicas. This feature gives you complete control over proximity effect and allows you to change polar patterns during or after recording.

The Orion Studio Synergy Core is not just an audio interface; it's a comprehensive solution for all your audio needs. With its immense analog and digital flexibility, industry-leading clocking, and sturdy, sleek design, the Orion Studio Synergy Core is the ultimate tool for professional audio production.
