Antelope Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core|Professional-grade 26x38 USB-C Audio Interface with Real-time Effects Processing
8-Track Discrete Microphone Preamp Audio Interface with Synergy Core Platform
The Antelope Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core is a professional-grade 26x38 USB-C audio interface from Antelope Audio, featuring the Synergy Core hybrid processing platform with dual DSP chips and a single FPGA chip. It boasts AD/DA conversion capabilities up to 24-bit/192kHz and an impressive 130dB dynamic range. At its core are 8 independent 6-transistor discrete microphone preamplifiers, delivering pure, detailed, and analog-warm sound quality for your recordings.
Unlike traditional effects plugins that rely on computer CPU processing, the Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core utilizes its built-in real-time effects processing chips to deliver a near-zero latency (< 1ms) monitoring and recording experience. This means you can apply high-quality compressors, EQs, reverbs, and other effects while recording audio, without worrying about latency issues, thereby fully unleashing your computer's processing power and streamlining your creative workflow. This USB-C audio interface is designed for professional recording studios and music producers who require multi-track simultaneous recording.
