Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy Core

Introducing Synergy Core - Antelope Audio's next generation signal processing platform. Using FPGA's massive parallel computation capabilities and industry-standard DSP power combined, Synergy Core frees up your CPU while processing your FX with extremely low latency. 2x DSP + 1x FPGA chips let the Discrete 4 Synergy Core handle up to 4 FX channel strips X 8 FX slots each for a maximum of 32 FX instances at any sample rate. That's four times the processing power of the Discrete 4 Basic.

Features:

• 4 x 10 Desktop audio interface with Thunderbolt & USB connection for Mac/Windows
• Four Discrete console-grade 6-transistor preamps on combo XLR jacks for professional recordings. All work as microphone/line inputs, and two of them are Hi-Z compatible
• Four DC-coupled analog output channels on TRS jacks
• A pair of monitor outputs and four headphone outputs with independent cue mixes
• Thunderbolt 2 and USB 2.0 port: up to 16 channels each for native DAW application with custom macOS & Windows drivers
• Digitally expandable over ADAT (up to 8 channels) and SPDIF (up to 2 channels)
• Two word clock outputs letting you distribute the interface’s highly stable clock signal across your studio
• Proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology for increased width, separation, and detail in musical performances
• Collection of 36 analog-modeled effects featuring classic as well as rare compressors, EQs, mic preamps, and guitar amps and cabs
• 2×DSP, 1×FPGA Synergy Core proprietary onboard real-time platform for effects processing with imperceptible latency
• Up to 32 effects instances per session loaded simultaneously on 4 individual virtual racks
• Easily adjust the monitor mixes for the monitor output and separate headphone mix that can be split into individual cue mixes and sub-mixes while applying pan, reverb, other effects and stereo link
• Direct hardware monitoring with effects, processed in real-time with imperceptible latency
• Front panel with volume knob and buttons for frequency adjustment, and hands-on control of core parameters
• Option to work without being connected to a computer (standalone operation)
• Wireless control of software features from a separate computer connected to the same network
