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

Antelope Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core 產品外觀

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.

Antelope Discrete 8 FAQ

Q：Are the effects included with the Antelope Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core permanently licensed?

▼

A：Yes, the 37 Synergy Core effects included are permanently licensed for lifetime use. Some more advanced effects can be purchased separately or subscribed to via the Antelope official website.

Q：How does the Discrete 8 Oryx differ from other Antelope models (e.g., Zen Quadro)?

▼

A：The main differences lie in the number of I/O and the unit's design. The Discrete 8 Oryx offers 8 microphone preamps and more analog outputs, featuring a 1U rack-mountable design suitable for multi-track recording; the Zen Quadro is more compact and portable, ideal for personal studios.

Q：Can this audio interface operate independently without a computer?
