Antelope Orion Studio Core - A Solid Decision For Me and My Studio

I bought the Orion Studio Synergy Core a few months ago and I'm really enjoying it. I replaced a whole rack of equipment with just this and so far I'm glad I did. The setup was simple. The customer care from Adorama and Antelope was great. The Antelope team returned emails within a day every time I wrote to them. They also made it easy for me to call them direct with any questions. I love the flexibility of this interface. It's powerful onboard processing is awesome and I love the FX that come with it. I got the Edge Duo mic and some Verge mics too. Running those through the different preamp models and mic emulations really makes this unit and all-in-one powerhouse. I've also done some mic shootouts with some $3000+ mics and come away pleased and excited about what I can do with this I/O and it's FX combined with the emulation mics. I count this as a solid purchase and backbone for my studio!
