ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE DANTE Audio Interface

DANTE Audio Interface

The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE sets a new performance standard in its class by expanding the capabilities of the Orion 32 line with Dante audio networking and Synergy Core processing. Designed for professional recording studios and high-profile production and broadcast facilities, the interface offers 32 channels of analog I/O with master-grade AD/DA conversion and clocking, as well as industry-standard HDX and Thunderbolt for easy integration with your setup.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE allows you to connect all your gear in a single 1U rack-mountable chassis. In addition to acting as a patch bay, the interface handles all routing, recording, and monitoring and lets you easily interconnect multiple rooms.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE provides 64 audio channels via Dante, and the entire device I/O is available at all times. Simply plug in an Ethernet LAN cable, and your entire facility benefits from the interface's features and conversion. A secondary mirrored port for redundancy is also available.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE integrates seamlessly with Pro Tools via two HDX ports and lets you maintain 64 I/O channels even at 192kHz, thanks to a unique FPGA configuration. This means you will no longer need to accumulate additional hardware to record and mix so many channels at such a high sample rate. Coupled with low-latency monitoring from HD Native or HDX and delay compensation for hardware inserts, the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core’s extensive connectivity and pristine conversion make your Pro Tools system formidable.
The use of the same 64-bit AFC™ clock as high-end master clocks like the Isochrone Trinity ensures the quality of AD/DA conversion, which has proven irreplaceable for some of the world's most acclaimed studios over the years. This makes the interface the essential source of the true sound that every professional audio engineer needs.
Signal routing on the ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE comes down to simple drag-and-drop of color-coded analog and digital inputs and outputs. With the virtual patch-bay, you can distribute a single source to multiple destinations simultaneously for creative routing scenarios that can be saved as presets for later use. Once the cables enter the interface, cable management is one less thing to worry about in the studio.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE is the only interface that allows you to use Thunderbolt, Dante, HDX, MADI, and ADAT ports simultaneously within a single hardware frame. The channel count of individual ports remains the same when used concurrently and is always available. This provides the flexibility to work in Pro Tools over HDX and another DAW application over Thunderbolt using a total of up to 598 I/O channels simultaneously.
The four built-in low-latency stereo mixers with 32 input channels each can be split into individual cue mixes and sub-mixes, allowing you to adjust levels and panning while applying reverb and other effects. This makes the mixers ideal for monitoring and summing.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE uses a proprietary client/server system, allowing you to work without being connected to a computer once a connection to a local network is established. This feature is ideal when using the interface's I/O and conversion for live recording.
You can create custom presets by adjusting signal routing, levels, audio mixers, and effects. Everything can be custom-configured for individual recording sessions, live events, and pre/post-production sessions. Preset files can be shared between multiple studios and devices to lighten the workload and optimize the production process.
The ANTELOPE GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE gives access to a wide variety of effects modeled after iconic studio gear. They can be applied in real-time during monitoring, post-production, and live recording with latency well below the threshold of visibility and no host CPU load. The integrated Synergy Core contains the processing power of a complex multi-rack setup, allowing you to load up to 128 instances of your favorite signal processors in a single session.
