I just bought this 2 weeks ago only went in my rack lightly used have an emergency and I have to sell.
Product Description
The Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core is a powerful 26×38 USB-C audio interface combines eight console-grade preamps, four independent headphone outputs, flexible reamp outputs, and plenty of digital I/O into a single rack space, making it an ideal choice for any studio. Mastering-grade AD/DA conversion and advanced 64-bit clocking deliver pristine audio and rock-solid stability, while onboard DSP enables real-time Synergy Core effects processing. The included virtual patch bay and mixer software lets you save and recall custom routing configurations, monitor settings, and headphone mixes, so you can seamlessly switch from tracking a four-person band to mixing with all your outboard gear at a moment's notice. If you're looking for studio-grade sound, expansive I/O, and incredible value, you can't go wrong with the Discrete 8 Oryx.
PRISTINE CONVERTERS AND CLOCKING FOR UNCOMPROMISING CLARITY
True to Antelope Audio's legacy, the Discrete 8 Oryx features top-notch conversion and clocking. Antelope's latest AD/DA converter chips provide up to 130 dB of dynamic range with ultra-low distortion specs, delivering transparency and headroom that outclass most audio interfaces in its price range. Fourth-generation 64-bit AFC clocking minimizes jitter and keeps timing consistent across three independent BNC Word Clock outputs, so all your devices will stay in perfect sync. With Antelope Audio's latest tech under the hood, the Discrete 8 Oryx delivers impressive transparency and stability for studio tracking and live performance alike.
EIGHT DISCRETE CONSOLE-GRADE PREAMPS
The Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx gets its name from its eight discrete microphone preamps, which are inspired by classic console circuitry. Each of the eight mic inputs feeds a Class A preamp circuit featuring high-quality transistors, providing up to 75 of gain. All eight XLR/TRS combo jacks support mic- and line-level inputs, while the two front-panel inputs also offer Hi-Z operation for direct instrument recording. With eight premium preamps in one rack unit, the Discrete 8 Oryx is ideal for small to mid-sized studios.
REAL TIME FX PROCESSING
Antelope's onboard Synergy Core platform takes advantage of cutting-edge DSP and FPGA chips to power real-time Synergy Core effects without bogging down your computer with CPU-intensive processing. The Discrete 8 Oryx includes Synergy Core effects, including compressors, EQs, reverbs, amp models, and mic emulations, all with virtually no latency. Load effects across up to sixteen digital channel strips and apply them to any of the Discrete 8 Oryx's digital and analog inputs, monitor outs, or headphone outs.
FOUR INDEPENDENT STEREO HEADPHONE OUTPUTS
Featuring four front-panel headphone jacks, each with individual gain controls and dedicated low-latency virtual mixers, the Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core offers separate cue mixes for each musician. X-Feed, Antelope's advanced headphone tool, provides headphone calibration, speaker emulation, and spatial crossfeed so everyone benefits from neutral, accurate monitoring and reduced ear fatigue during long sessions. Best of all, each headphone out supports Synergy Core FX with zero perceptible latency, so you and the talent can monitor their performance through classic analog gear emulations in real time.
COMPREHENSIVE 26×38 ANALOG AND DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY
Designed for modern hybrid workflows that demand maximum connectivity, the Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx Synergy Core interface offers a total of 26 inputs and 38 outputs across a variety of digital and analog ports. Analog I/O includes eight XLR/TRS inputs, eight line-level outputs on a DB-25 connector, four stereo headphone outs, two main monitor outs, and two reamp outputs that can double as additional monitor outputs when switched from instrument to line level. Digital I/O includes 16 channels of ADAT In and Out, stereo S/PDIF In and Out, and a USB-C host connection supporting up to 24 channels at 24-bit/192 kHz. Additional convenience features include one BNC Word Clock input and three outputs, a built-in talkback mic, footswitch input, and a redesigned software control panel with a virtual drag-and-drop patch bay providing expansive routing functionality for all analog and digital channels.
