Get extreme quality and flexibly from the Antelope Audio Orion 32 AD/DA converter. At only 1U, this impressively small digital converter won't take up much space in your rack. Nonetheless, the Orion 32 manages to pack a ton of useful routing and connectivity into this compact frame. D-Sub connections keep all your I/O organized, and thanks to both USB and MADI connections, the Orion 32 is a great choice for you studio or mobile rig, or as part of a full-scale media production house. And at this price, any professional engineer can afford an Antelope Audio Orion 32 from Sweetwater.



Antelope Audio Orion 32 AD/DA Converter at a Glance:
  • 32 channels of digital conversion for any kind of production rig
  • Rock-solid clocking makes this converter the beating heart of your setup
  • Ultra-compact form factor accommodates cramped studios and mobile rigs

32 channels of digital conversion for any kind of production rig
Whether you're running an up-and-coming 2-room studio or overseeing an elaborate multimedia production house, your new Antelope Audio Orion 32 digital converter will fit right in. That's because Antelope equipped this compact AD/DA converter with both a custom USB port and a full-fledged MADI port. This isn't your standard USB 2.0 port either. You get a full 32-channels of up to 192kHz resolution pristine audio over this USB connection. And that's not all. In addition to the analog D-Sub connections on the back, there's also an extra 16 channels of ADAT optical I/O onboard, so you can easily hook up a ton of additional outboard gear as well.

Rock-solid clocking makes this converter the beating heart of your setup
The Orion 32 is more than a phenomenal AD/DA converter, it's also a top-notch master clock that comes with four separate word clock outputs. But that's just the beginning. Sporting Antelope's amazing fourth-generation 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology and an oven-controlled crystal oscillator, the Orion 32 easily competes with just about any well-established studio standard clock. This is the same technology that's made Antelope a household name in top recording, post-production, and mastering facilities around the world - and the Orion 32 delivers it for an incredible low price.

Ultra-compact form factor accommodates cramped studios and mobile rigs
Can you believe Antelope audio managed to get all of this production power packed into a single rackspace (1U) chassis? That's not all, the Orion 32 also consumes only a mere 15 watts of power, causing it to generate very little heat. Without the need for extra space for venting, your Orion 32 will really only take up 1U worth of rack space total, allowing you to travel light or save valuable space in your studio rig.

Antelope Audio Orion 32 AD/DA Converter Features:
  • A compact 32-channel AD/DA converter that's perfect for your studio, mobile rig, or full-scale media production house
  • Clocking controlled by Antelope's renowned 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) with Atomic input and oven-controlled crystal oscillator
  • Conveys up to 32 channels of 192kHz digital audio to and from your computer via a custom USB chip
  • Delivers 32 channels of up to 96kHz digital audio via fiberoptic MADI I/O connections
  • All analog connections are simplified thanks to 8 x standard 25-pin D-Sub connectors
  • 4 x ADAT optical connections provide you with an additional 16 channels of digital I/O
  • 4 x word clock outputs and 1 x word clock input give you handy master clock distribution
  • 5 x presets add fast and easy recall of your favorite setups
  • 1U chassis takes up minimal space in your equipment rack
  • 15W power consumption generates virtually no heat
  • User-friendly desktop application available for both Windows and Mac OS X

From small studios to sprawling media houses, the Antelope Audio Orion 32 gives you the conversion you need!

Antelope Orion 32

by Matthew Raughton from Alabama

Music Background: Recording Engineer, Producer, Installer, Live Sound Technician, Tech Director
This orion is Pretty Ridiculous!!! Not only is the sound incredibly clean and open but the functionality is something you can't appreciate until you get it in your rack and hook it in.
I'm usi... read more [+]ng it with Pt9 going into my ShadowHills Equinox and the mixes are going to another level. It took a little finagling to get it rocking with Pt but when it did you have complete digital soft-patch control for your ad da and usb playback and record so the options for routing and signal flow far exceeded my expectations.
It will clock any source through spdif also through its spdif to src which is awesome for my eleven rack. When i go do my live gigs mixing through any digital console worth having i can outsource the clock with Antelope and thats just an added bonus for this thing
If your like me my abilities were exceeding my gear now I have some more room to grow my knowledge and the quality and integrity of what I'm putting out.
I have been getting opportunities to work with some next level artists and you cant work with next level artists without next level gear. If you're serious about mixing, and tracking audio this is an excellent buy especially if you want to remain portable for those travel gigs. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Marcos Sanchez
The Antelope Audio Orion 32 sets a new benchmark for high-quality audio interfaces. Having an interface with 32 analog I/O in a single rack space is normally unheard of! Beyond that, the Orion gives you the lowest latency spec out of a standard USB driver that I've ever seen - I didn't think USB could handle this kind of low latency! With the best clocking in the world, amazing converters, and all the connections you'd ever need for your studio, this interface is a must-have for the studio needing high quality and lots of connectivity.
Stuart Niven
The Antelope Audio Orion 32 uses the same advanced clocking as the acclaimed Isochrone OCX-V (as used in high-end mixing/mastering and post facilities worldwide). 32 channels of I/O over USB 2.0 combined with a super-flexible routing matrix mean that "high-end" sound and track count are available to the home studio. How does it sound? Simply stunning! This is the new standard.

The level of customer service and resources like your sales engineers is unrivaled in the industry. Just fantastic!
