Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core is a 19" capable, extremely flexible and well-equipped Thunderbolt & USB audio interface. The connections alone allow both PC and Mac users - or users who want to use both in the studio - to integrate Antelope' s professional hardware and software into their workflow. Equally special is the built-in DSP, which allows the Antelope FPGA effects library to be run within the interface itself, taking the load off your computer. This way you can run several favorite plugins simultaneously without having to worry about latency problems. Speaking of plugins: 36 Synergy Core FX are on board, which were modeled after well-known hardware originals.
With solidly parallel FPGA computation capabilities and combined industry-standard DSP performance, Synergy Core offloads your CPU and processes your effects with ultra-low latency. Reduce buffer size, record with less than one millisecond latency, and monitor in real time.
The Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core offers a compelling library of 36 real-time studio effects, carefully modeled after their hardware originals. Thanks to solidly parallel FPGA computing, DSP processing and fast Thunderbolt™ connectivity, this is all done within your audio interface with the lowest possible latency. The library can be expanded to include any effects you choose from the Antelope web store.
The Discrete 8 Synergy Core features unique, discrete 6-transistor preamps for console-quality sound. The circuitry is the result of extensive study of legendary microphone preamps that shaped the sound of countless records. The interface was designed with Antelope's Edge & Verge family of modeling condenser microphones in mind. With their features perfectly complemented by the preamp design and Synergy Core technology, a new level of microphone recording is achieved.
Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core's Accusonic 3D modeling engine lets you transform Antelope Audio Edge and Verge modeling microphones into expensive-sounding vintage replicas. Shape the final sound with complete control over proximity effect and change polar pattern during or after recording.
*Available with Antelope Audio Edge & Verge modeling microphones.
Instead of recycling outdated technologies, Antelope always tries to use the latest innovations. With up to 121 dB dynamic range and sampling rates up to 192 kHz, the AD/DA converters ensure that your precise performances are captured with the highest possible signal quality. Combined with a state-of-the-art preamp design and renowned clocking technology, any recording is elevated to a new level.
As the pioneer of atomic clocking in pro audio, Antelope Audio has over 20 years of experience in clocking its audio interfaces. With its proprietary 64-bit AFC jitter management algorithm, the Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core delivers the kind of artifact-free audio available only to the most prestigious studios.
With a wealth of analog and digital connectivity options, as well as USB and Thunderbolt ports for computer connection, the Discrete 8 Synergy Core offers more options than any other DSP-compatible interface. Eight combo jacks, eight line outputs (pin connector), a pair of monitor outputs, two headphone outputs, and S/PDIF are at your disposal. Digital expandability is possible through ADAT chains. furthermore, you can distribute the interface's highly stable clock signal in your studio with three word clock outputs.
