Professional sound quality

High-quality A-d/D-A converters and accurate clocking are the cornerstones of professional-sounding audio recording. With the Discrete 4 Pro SC, you now get up to 130 dB of headroom, while proprietary 64-bit AFC clocking achieves a new level of detail per recording and delivers an excellent stereo image.

Transparency is the key

Antelope Audio's discrete preamp technology is the result of an intensive study of the unique preamps found in the most popular consoles in recording history. The unique 6-transistor topology allows for ultra-low noise and the simultaneous extremely precise recording for transparent recordings.

Advanced features for creative sessions

Discrete 4 Pro's virtual patchbay streamlines the routing process, allowing you to assign any signal source to a Output. In addition to intuitive routing, you can create your very own presets, assign mixes with four independent 32-channel virtual mixers, and much more!

Furthermore, effects can be used in any input signal. Create different versions of a recording with unique effects chains, export them simultaneously, and beautiful the signals to four independent headphone outputs. Your bandmates and/or clients will love it!

Combine & Expand

Although the Discrete 4 Pro SC is a compact unit, it delivers a lot of connectivity. Four mic/line inputs, two instrument inputs, four DC-coupled line outputs, one stereo output, four headphone outs, ADAT and S/PDIF I/O... What more could you ask for?

And no matter whether Mac or PC user - the Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 interfaces offer maximum flexibility on all systems and allow simultaneous use of all inputs and outputs at any time.

FX for that certain something

With a total of 37 effects, this audio interface delivers all the tools you need for professional recording or post-production. Based on iconic studio equipment, EQs, compressors, reverbs and more can be monitored while recording and in real time! Thanks to the integrated processor chips, your computer is thus relieved and more resources can be kept ready for further processes. Up to 16 channel strips can be assigned effects and monitored in real time - that's 4 times more than the original Discrete 4 SC!

Of course, you can optionally expand your collection by purchasing additional effects such as Grove Hill's Liverpool and Antares Auto-Tune.
