Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core

The Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core is a high-performance 14-in/20-out interface which blends state-of-the-art conversion/clocking technology with console-grade analogue circuitry. It features four discrete preamps on combo XLR, doubling the mic/line inputs and two offering Hi-Z compatibility. The unit has a dedicated stereo monitor output, four additional line outputs, and four independent stereo headphones outputs, all on jack sockets. ADAT and S/PDIF connectivity provide a further 10 channels of both inputs and outputs. Taking advantage of Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0, the Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core features 64-bit AD/DA conversion and clocking rates, with a 130dB dynamics range. Its comprehensive routing options are matched with 37 premium analogue-modelled effects on the Synergy Core platform, powered by two DSPs and an FPGA chip and offering top-tier processing with no extra CPU load.

The four discrete microphone preamps of the Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core feature a unique six-transistor topology, providing remarkably precise and transparent amplification with a noteworthy 65dB of gain. These preamps also perfectly complement the Antelope Edge line of modelling microphones since they are designed with perfectly adapted frequency responses for the Synergy Core mic-modelling technology, which features an extensive library of all-time classic microphones. The unit's proprietary 64-bit AF clocking technology ensures ultra-precise and crystal-clear AD/DA conversion, at rates of up to 24-bit/192kHz which capture the subtlest transients during recording and mixing sessions. The Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core also features two word-clock outputs, allowing its highly stable clock signal to be distributed across the studio, for optimum stability and performance.

With its extensive connectivity in a compact 1U half-rack format, the Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core is ideal for small studios, producers, bands, and solo musicians. The 37 on-board effects can be applied to 16 strips simultaneously, and the selection of new effects processors is continually expanding. The Synergy Core effects library includes many legendary compressors, preamps, reverbs, guitar effects, and more, which run in real-time with zero CPU load thanks to the onboard DSPs and FPGA chips. Its user-friendly interfaces enable seamless tracking and mixing without noticeable latency, vastly expanding creative possibilities at any stage of audio production.
