Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core

High-End Audio Interface for Serious Recording and Mixing Engineers
The Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core is a professional-grade 16x26 audio interface designed for high-resolution, low-latency multitrack recording, mixing, and monitoring. Built for demanding audio professionals, it delivers pristine A/D and D/A conversion, real-time hardware FX processing, and extensive I/O for both analog and digital setups. Whether you're running a commercial studio or handling immersive Atmos sessions, this interface provides the sonic clarity, flexibility, and processing power needed for premium production environments.

Discrete Preamps Provide Pristine Analog Clarity
Equipped with 12 discrete ultra-linear preamps, the Orion Studio Synergy Core is engineered to capture sound with clarity and precision. Offering up to 75 dB of gain and near-zero noise performance, these preamps are ideal for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, and even dynamic ribbon mics without additional amplification. The preamps remain transparent across a wide dynamic range and offer a Direct-In option to bypass coloration when recording line-level instruments and external mic preamps.

Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2 Ensure Compatibility Across Systems
Featuring both Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 connectivity, the Orion Studio Synergy Core is compatible with a wide range of Mac and Windows systems. Thunderbolt 3 ensures high channel counts and ultra-low roundtrip latency, while USB 2 offers flexibility for mobile or legacy studio setups. This dual connection approach allows seamless integration into any modern recording rig or production workflow.

Onboard DSP and FPGA Power Over 50 Real-Time Effects
The built-in Synergy Core platform combines DSP and FPGA processors to run over 50 real-time audio effects modeled after rare and legendary studio hardware. These effects include compressors, EQs, reverbs, modulation, and amp simulations—available directly on the interface without taxing your computer’s CPU. Track and mix with zero latency and process audio using the same hardware-modeled FX chains found in elite studio environments.

Expand Your Studio with Digital I/O and Reamp Options
The Orion Studio Synergy Core supports both ADAT and S/PDIF digital I/O, providing additional channels for connecting external converters or gear. Two dedicated Reamp outputs allow DI guitar signals to be re-recorded through amps and pedals. A total of 16 analog line outputs give you plenty of options for outboard gear routing or surround speaker configurations. This makes the unit ideal for hybrid analog-digital studios looking for routing flexibility and expandability.

Immersive Audio Support for Surround and Dolby Atmos Workflows
Designed with immersive audio engineers in mind, this interface integrates seamlessly with Antelope Audio's Atmos-ready monitoring system. With support for over 23 surround formats, from stereo to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, along with intuitive speaker calibration and preset recall, Orion Studio Synergy Core is ideal for post-production, film scoring, and multichannel music mixing. Optional hardware such as the MRC monitoring controller adds tactile control to this advanced setup.

Precision Clocking and High-Fidelity Conversion for Artifact-Free Audio
Antelope’s proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology is built into the Orion Studio Synergy Core, drastically reducing jitter and delivering ultra-precise timing for all conversions. Paired with high-end AD/DA converters offering up to 130 dB of dynamic range, the unit provides transparent, accurate, and detailed sound reproduction—essential for critical listening, mixing, and mastering applications.
