With optimized and tactile controls, the MRC controller is the key to effortless, advanced monitoring.
With 6 DSP + 2 FPGA chips under the hood, enabling the integration of a huge effects library from Antelope Audio and platform partners, the Orion Studio Synergy Core takes the load off your host Mac or PC, allowing you to create larger mixes and compositions without bringing the system to its knees. Thanks to Antelope's state-of-the-art Synergy Core FX processors, you have enormous processing potential for any type of project - now and in the future!
50 Antelope FX
Antelope's Orion Studio Synergy Core comes with 50 of the best real-time effects plug-ins - impressive mic preamp emulations, compressors, EQs, reverbs, guitar amps and cabinet models, everything you need to bring your tracks to life and process them. And thanks to the Synergy Core architecture, you can run all the processing plug-ins you need for your session simultaneously.
Thunderbolt 3 + USB connectivity
The system provides a cross-platform audio interface for Windows and Mac and offers both USB and Thunderbolt 3 connections to your DAW host computer. You can even charge your MacBook via the Orion Studio Synergy Core.
130 dB dynamic range D/A for critical listening
Why trust your projects with anything less than the best D/A converters? The Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core delivers 130 dB dynamic range on both monitor outputs - which can run simultaneously or in A/B mode.
12 Discrete Microphone Preamps + Direct Inputs
The Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core offers you 12 microphone preamps based on Antelope's ultra-linear Discrete MP standalone preamp, delivering 75 dB of pristine gain. You want to process line level signals? No problem - the Orion Studio Synergy Core's Direct In bypasses the microphone preamps and drives directly into the A/D converters (124 dB dynamic range)
Digital patchbay for pro studios
Thanks to the integrated software control panel, audio signals can be beautiful anywhere - digital, flexible routing and monitoring just like an analog patchbay.
Antelope's 4th Generation of clocking
Antelope Audio is known for building solid digital audio clocks that can be found in world-class recording studios and broadcast facilities around the world. The Orion Studio Synergy Core wouldn't be an Antelope interface if it didn't deliver world-class clocking. With word Clock I/O, the Orion Studio Synergy Core synchronizes your Studio to Antelope's 4th Generation of clocking and uses 64-bit DDS to keep your audio in lockstep at up to 192 kHz.
