With the Discrete 8 Synergy Core in your rack, you don't need a latest-spec computer to run your favorite plugs. Antelope effects running on Antelope hardware means you can shorten buffer size, reduce latency, and free up your host Mac or PC to run CPU-hogging VST synths and native time-based effects. 1 FPGA + 2 DSP = More Effects, More Variety Antelope's unique Synergy Core platform combines FPGA + DSP in one interface. With the Discrete 8 Synergy Core, you get state-of-the-art ARM DSPs with faster clock rates than chips found in lesser interfaces, plus Antelope's proven FPGA platform that delivers lower latency in FX chains. This exclusive hybrid architecture enables a wider variety of Antelope effects than ever -- time-based delays, choruses, flangers, and more. Your Discrete 8 Synergy Core comes with $3,000 of plug-ins: compressors, EQs, reverbs, amp models based on iconic vintage gear -- and all the processing power you need to run them! Uncompromising A/D and D/A Conversion Quality Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are at the heart of every DAW-based studio -- and your converters can make or break your sound. That's why the Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Synergy Core offers pristine AD/DA with 121 dB dynamic range on the analog inputs and class-leading 130 dB dynamic range on the monitor outputs, so you can capture and play back your audio with Antelope clarity. More I/O for Your Growing Studio The Discrete 8 Synergy Core is hand-built by Antelope engineers to deliver impressive analog and digital I/O in one rack space. Plug into two front-panel XLR-1/4" inputs with switchable mic/line/Hi-Z preamps. On the back, you'll find 6 mic/line inputs, monitor line outputs, dedicated ReAmp outputs, 8 more line outputs on a DB25 connector, two banks of ADAT I/O, and S/PDIF I/O. Antelope Audio's Proven Clocking Technology Pro recording studios rely on Antelope master clocks to maintain stability and sonic integrity in PCM digital audio. The Discrete 8 Synergy Core wouldn't be an Antelope Audio interface if it didn't offer rock-solid clocking, with Antelope's 4th-Generation 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management algorithm, three 75-ohm BNC Word Clock outputs, and Word Clock input. Add Antelope's industry-leading digital clocking to your studio, and capture recordings with greater clarity, dimension and detail. 37 Synergy Core effects plug-ins included - a $3,000+ value Gyraf Gyratec IX - Tube Mic PreampVCA160 - CompressorStay-Levin - CompressorFET-A76 - FET CompressorVEQ-1A - Tube EQVMEQ-5 - Tube EQX903 - Compressor / LimiterFeedForward Antelope Compressor - CompressorClear Q - Parametric EQPower EX - ExpanderVEQ-HLF - Passive High/Low FilterAuraverb - ReverbBA-31 - Mic PreampPower Gate - GatePlexi 59 (UK) - Tube Guitar AmpBass SuperTube VR - Tube Guitar AmpDarkface 65 (US) - Tube Guitar AmpTop30 (UK) Bright - Tube Guitar AmpTweed Deluxe (US) - Tube Guitar AmpOverange 120 (UK) - Tube Guitar AmpBurnSphere (DE) Lead - Tube Guitar AmpMarcus II (US) Lead - Tube Guitar AmpModern (US) CH3- Tube Guitar AmpRock 75 (UK) - Tube Guitar AmpRock 22.10 (UK) - Tube Guitar AmpDarkface 65 2x12 - Guitar CabinetTop30 2x12 - Guitar CabinetModern 4x12 - Guitar CabinetGreen 2x12 - Guitar CabinetVintage 4x12 - Guitar CabinetGreen 4x12 - Guitar CabinetCaliper 50 1x10 - Guitar CabinetBluelux 1x12 - Guitar CabinetClst 1x12 - Guitar CabinetEngland 4x12 - Guitar CabinetBass Tube 1x15 - Guitar CabinetA-Tuner – Guitar tuner Specifications ANALOG Analog Inputs6 x Mic / Line Inputs2 x Mic / Line / Hi-Z Inputs Analog Outputs1 x Monitor Out on TRS 1/4 Jacks, +20 dBu max2 x ReAmp Out on TRS 1/4 Jacks1 x Line Out (8 channels) on DB25, +20 dBu max 2 x Stereo Headphone Outputs Mic PreampEIN: -128 dBu (A-weighted)Dynamic Range: -121 dB (A-weighted)THD: -106 dB Max input: +18 dBuMax Gain: 65 dB D/A Monitor ConverterDynamic Range: 130 dBTHD + N: -115 dB A/D ConverterDynamic Range: 121 dBTHD + N: -112 dB D/A Converters(Line Out)Dynamic Range: 121 dBTHD + N: - 100dBDC CoupledDIGITAL Digital Inputs2 x ADAT (up to 16CH)1 x S/PDIFDigital Outputs2 x ADAT (up to 16CH)1 x S/PDIF USB 2.0 I/O USB 2.0 Type B connector Thunderbolt Thunderbolt connector CLOCKING Word Clock Input1 x Input @ 75 Ohms 3Vpp on BNC 32 – 192kHz Word Clock Outputs3 x Outputs @ 75 Ohms 3Vpp on BNC 32 – 192kHz Clocking System4th Generation Acoustically Focused Clocking64-bit DDS Sample Rates (kHz)32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192Other Operating Temperature0-50°C, 32-122°F Weight (Approx)3.0 kg/ 6.61 lbs Dimensions (Approx)Width: 483 mm / 19”Height: 44 mm / 1.7”Depth: 220 mm /8.6” Power Consumption20 WattsIn-the-Box Content Discrete 8 Synergy Core InterfaceQuick Start GuideWart External Power Supply UnitUSB CableWarranty Card
