Product information "Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core"

The Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core is a professional 26 × 38 USB-C 2.0 audio interface designed for advanced recording, mixing, monitoring and hybrid studio workflows. It combines class-leading AD/DA conversion with up to 130 dB of headroom, recording and playback at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, and Antelope's proprietary 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology for enhanced width, separation and detail.

Eight fully discrete 6-transistor microphone preamps provide up to 75 dB of gain and 48 V phantom power. All eight inputs support microphone and line operation, while two can additionally be used as Hi-Z instrument inputs. The interface also offers eight DC-coupled line outputs, dedicated stereo monitor outputs, four independent stereo headphone outputs, two reamp outputs, ADAT, S/PDIF, Word Clock and footswitch connectivity.

The onboard Synergy Core platform, powered by 2 DSP chips and 1 FPGA, handles real-time effects processing with imperceptible latency. The interface includes 37 Synergy Core Real-Time FX, customizable routing and monitoring presets, X-feed headphone crossfeed, built-in talkback, and remote software control over a network. It can also operate independently from a computer in standalone mode.

The Discrete 8 Oryx is particularly well suited for professional studios that require extensive analog and digital connectivity, multiple headphone mixes, real-time effects processing, reamping, clock distribution and flexible monitoring from a single interface.
