EXEMPLARY CLOCKING & CONVERSION

Antelope Audio is known over the world as the premier audio clocking experts. This legend lives on thanks to our next-generation 64- bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology & jitter management algorithm. A pair of Word Clock outputs turn the Orion32+ | Gen 3 into a world-class Master Clock for your entire studio, while a 10MHz input allows for use with the best possible stability using Antelope’s legendary 10M & 10MX Atomic Clocks. With it’s brand-new AD/DA converters achieving up to 129dB dynamic range (Monitor Outs), Orion32+ | Gen 3 continues our reputation for pristine conversion quality. Hear the true sound of your music with both digital clarity and analog warmth.

SUB-MILLISECOND ROUNDTRIP LATENCY. A FACT.

Orion32+ | Gen3 delivers true sub-millisecond round-trip latency for both AD and DA conversion.  We proudly present the following stellar measurements, using our proprietary Windows Thunderbolt™ driver ver. 1.0.4.87 tested using the Oblique Audio RTL Utility. Stable playback & recording were achieved at these measured settings, in PreSonus Studio One 4, on an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU.  But, let the figures speak for themselves.

EXTENSIVE FLEXIBILITY

Orion 32+ | Gen 3 offers powerful flexibility for easy workflow integration.  A color-coded software routing matrix with four separate mixers, effects chaining, and zero latency monitoring capabilities.  (color changed users will appreciate that all selections are viewable in the center of the routing matrix when hovering over a connection).  The routing matrix, mixers, and control panel all reside inside an easy to use application for both macOS and Windows!

afx2daw HARDWARE PROCESSING, NATIVE WORKFLOW

Taking advantage of high-speed Thunderbolt™, the afx2daw plug-in lets you use Synergy Core effects inside most popular DAWs, providing native workflow while keeping all the processing inside the interface. afx2daw is available as a separate purchase from our software store, for macOS and Windows.

HAND-BUILT IN EUROPE STURDY AND SLEEK
