Following the Orion Line, Synergy Core Power for Modern Studios
A direct descendant of the Orion series, the Orion Studio Synergy Core builds on Antelope's expertise in conversion and clocking and adds hardware effects processing. This generation emphasizes stability at 192 kHz, the proprietary 64-bit "Acoustically Focused Clocking," and connectivity ready for ambitious hybrid setups.Who Is It For? Sound Engineers, Producers, and Multi-Source Creators
Designed for multitrack recording (vocals, drums, live takes), guitar reamping, and hybrid mixing, it suits professional studios as well as demanding creators working in home studios. Flexible routing, A/B monitoring, and real-time effects processing facilitate a smooth workflow, whether you're managing outboard gear, modular synths (CV/Gate), or heavy virtual instrument sessions.Key Features for an Uncompromising Workflow
Real-Time Processing, Controlled Latency
The 6 DSPs and 2 FPGAs run Antelope plug-ins without burdening the computer's processor. You can reduce buffer size, stabilize large sessions, and monitor with effects either printed or in real time.Conversion, Preamps, and Reference Clock
The 12 "Discrete MP" preamps offer up to 75 dB of transparent gain. Line inputs bypass the preamps to achieve 124 dB dynamic range into the A/D converters. The 64-bit AFC clock, with Word Clock I/O, ensures precise stereo imaging and excellent temporal coherence.Comprehensive Connectivity and Powerful Routing
Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 provide broad Mac/PC compatibility, with the ability to power/recharge a MacBook. Monitoring outputs deliver 130 dB dynamic range and switch between parallel or A/B modes, complemented by 2 independent headphone outputs, 2 reamp outputs, 16 DB25 line outputs, 2 ADAT ports, S/PDIF, and DC-coupled I/O for controlling modular systems. The digital patchbay and zero-latency mixer are managed via the software control panel.Antelope Effects Ecosystem
50 real-time effects are included (preamps, compressors, equalizers, reverb, guitar amps, and cabinets). Thanks to Synergy Core, you can stack multiple effects per channel without sacrificing responsiveness or stability.Technical specifications

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praised this professional audio interface for exceptional sound quality with "129db dynamics" and "impeccable audio quality." The 12 high-quality preamps, integrated DSP effects (AFX), and comprehensive I/O connectivity in 1U rack format impressed shoppers. Routing software is complex initially but powerful. One concern: AFX2DAW Windows support needed.
Review highlights

The dream! This is the interface I was looking for!
Impeccable audio quality, I am rediscovering sounds thanks to the 129db of dynamics on the monitor outputs.
All the I/O connections you need to evolve a studio based on hybrid mixing in 1U, the choice of inputs such as MIC/LINE/Direct and Hi-Z (Hi-Z on front panel input only) make this professional device very very flexible because it acts as a simple converter or preamp according to our needs.
So the AFX are breathtaking, I have never had the opportunity to work with a UAD but these AFX are simply amazing, also by the fact that the effects are already on our card and that you just have to buy them as you go to unlock them, and to make updates when new ones come out when they come out so that they are integrated into our machines really makes it a piece of hardware in its own right..
I wouldn't talk about the control panel in detail but it's very easy to use, just be careful where you go so as not to close up;)
It's a powerful tool and you can feel it! It exudes solidity and reliability, I recommend 1000 times.
PS: it's just a shame that my package arrived in its presentation box, with only a black film around it.. I don't know if Woodbrass sent me the package as it was, or if Chronopost sent the box to me?.. despite its dubious packaging and the recommendation not to open if the box is damaged, there was no mark on the cardboard, with 2 corners barely inserted, which correspond to the weight of the animal once the cardboard was put... I was afraid that it would be damaged internally, but when opened it was flawless and everything worked perfectly! Enough to get through the discomfort.. for the price of the bike it chilled me all the same..
After 2 weeks of using RAS! Great product.Automatically translated

What a sound! I hesitated to take an Apollo 8+ UAD but I went with this beautiful machine for several reasons: 12 preamps of quality equivalent to UAD, a routing software that is complex at first glance, but formidable when you master it, integrated DSPs (AFX are a marvel), 2 integrated reamp outputs, several listening outputs, all possible connections to connect other interfaces, all in the format 1U rack.
In short, it's amazing!Automatically translated

This interface corresponds perfectly to my expectations. It's stable, transparent, powerful,...
In addition, the integrated effects are of excellent quality, they provide significant comfort for sound recording.
All that's missing is the support of AFX2DAW on Windows for it to reach perfection in my eyes.Automatically translated

What connectivity is available for a hybrid studio?
Sixteen line outputs on DB25, 2 ADAT ports, S/PDIF, and Word Clock I/Os are available. Two reamp outputs and DC-coupled I/Os also allow integration of external gear and modular systems.
Are there two headphone outputs and A/B monitoring?
