Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core Interface

The Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core is a premium, high-performance Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 rackmount audio interface. It functions as a 30x44 studio hub designed for low-latency recording, complex signal routing, and heavy onboard DSP processing.

Comprehensive technical specifications and features for this interface include:

🎛️ Onboard Processing & Performance

Synergy Core Chips: Equipped with 6x DSP and 2x FPGA processors.

FX Processing Capacity: Handles up to 144 simultaneous real-time effect instances without taxing your computer's CPU.

Clocking Technology: 4th-Generation 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) with oven-controlled crystal oscillators for jitter-free stability.

Conversion: Premium 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA conversion.

📉 Audio Quality Specifications

Monitor D/A Dynamic Range: 130 dB.

A/D Converters Dynamic Range: 124 dB.

D/A Converters Dynamic Range: 128 dB.

THD+N (Monitor D/A): -115 dB.
