Powerful Studio Interface for Recording and Mixing
The Orion Studio Synergy Core is a versatile 16x26 audio interface built for engineers, producers, musicians, and hybrid studios that need professional conversion, extensive I/O, and real-time effects processing in a single 1 RU unit. It gives you a complete set of tools for tracking, mixing, monitoring, and home mastering with pristine 24-bit / 192 kHz audio quality. With 12 discrete microphone preamps, multiple digital expansion options, onboard DSP acceleration, and detailed software control, this interface serves as the central hub for modern recording workflows ranging from single-artist productions to full multi-channel studio sessions.

High Resolution Conversion and Acoustically Focused Clocking
The Orion Studio Synergy Core features up to 32 channels of premium AD/DA conversion supported by Antelope’s renowned 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking for exceptional stability and imaging. A monitoring dynamic range of up to 130 dB delivers clarity for mixing and mastering decisions, while the precise clocking enhances detail, separation, and transient accuracy across all connected devices. For studios seeking clean, accurate sound with minimal jitter and excellent stereo depth, this interface provides the technical performance required for professional results.

Discrete Preamps and Flexible Analog Inputs
With 12 discrete preamps across XLR-1/4" combo inputs, the Orion Studio Synergy Core supports microphones, line-level sources, and instruments with a transparent, low-noise circuit design. Four of the inputs handle mic, line, and Hi-Z sources directly, while eight additional inputs deliver consistent performance for multi-mic tracking, vocal recording, and full-band productions. These preamps can also be bypassed when needed, allowing engineers to use their own external preamps and feed audio straight into the converters for flexible hybrid setups.

Comprehensive I O for Hybrid Hardware and Digital Expansion
The interface provides a wide range of connectivity suitable for complex studio environments. Up to 16 line outputs are available through the DB25 connector, making it easy to route signals to outboard compressors, EQs, monitoring systems, or summing mixers. Two insert points allow you to integrate external analog gear into the signal path without additional routing hardware. For guitar workflows, the two reamp outputs let you send dry tracks to amplifiers or pedals for tone shaping. Digital expansion includes ADAT and S/PDIF connections, supporting large setups and multiple digital devices simultaneously.

Thunderbolt and USB Connectivity for Large Sessions
Engineers handling multi-track sessions will appreciate the high channel counts available over Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0. The interface supports up to 32 channels of audio over Thunderbolt or up to 24 channels over USB, delivering flexible integration with Mac and Windows systems. These options allow studios of any size to design workflows based on their preferred DAW, operating system, and computer performance, ensuring compatibility with both portable rigs and high-end production workstations.

Real Time FX Processing with FPGA and DSP Power
The Orion Studio Synergy Core includes two FPGA chips and six DSP processors that handle Antelope’s library of modeled effects with near-zero latency. With 50 real-time FX included, users can track through compressors, EQs, preamp emulations, guitar amps, cabinet models, and more—all without placing any load on the host computer. This hardware-accelerated system is ideal for monitoring with effects, printing processed tracks, or maintaining smooth performance during large recording sessions.

Mastering Grade Monitoring and Studio Workflow Tools
With its clean converters, detailed monitoring path, and comprehensive software control, the Orion Studio Synergy Core provides a streamlined workflow for mixing and mastering. The intuitive software panel offers routing options, preset recall, and advanced control over all input and output channels. Low-latency performance, a quiet noise floor, and high sample rates ensure reliable results during demanding production tasks, making this interface a strong fit for studios that require precision and scalability.
