The missing link

Antelope's Galaxy 32 Synergy Core is a compact yet feature-rich digital audio interface that bridges the gap between the Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core and the Orion 32+ | Gen 3. Occupying just a single 1U rack space, it boasts 32 analogue inputs and outputs (D-Sub 25) and Pro Tools HDX, MADI, Dante, ADAT, and S/PDIF compatibility. This Thunderbolt 3 interface is equipped with the latest generation of AD/DA converters, combined with Antelope's 64-bit AF clocking technology, ensuring 32 channels of mastering-quality conversion with a dynamic range of 130dB. It features precise word-clock I/O for external synchronisation, including to Antelope’s renowned "10M-Atomic Clock". Additionally, the powerful onboard Synergy Core real-time effects and intuitive hardware and software interfaces add further value to this already impressive interface.

Dante and HDX integration

The Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core features two HDX ports, enabling 64 simultaneous channels at 192kHz for Pro Tools HDX systems. It's also Dante-compatible, facilitating audio transmission over IP networks with 64 channels via its primary RJ-45 port, and a secondary port for backup. Moreover, the interface supports 64 channels of MADI at 24-bit/48kHz, eight channels of ADAT, and two channels of S/PDIF, plus 64 channels over Thunderbolt 3. Special macOS and Windows drivers ensure low-latency performance in native DAW applications. Impressively, all 598 channels are available simultaneously, offering remarkable routing options to accommodate diverse setups, including the ability to address multiple systems at once.

Real-time effects processing

The Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core shines in any professional setting, from mixing albums and film scores to post-production, broadcasting, and even mastering. It also features the expandable and ever-growing Synergy Core library, which features 37 pro-audio real-time effects, including top-tier software emulations of vintage analogue gear and boutique rarities like compressors, EQs, and guitar effects. Powered by six DSPs and two FPGA chips, Synergy Core efficiently handles up to 128 instances of these professional-grade plugins across 32 tracks without latency or CPU load. Each effect is easily programmable through an intuitive interface, ensuring the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core's impeccable performance in tracking, mixing, and live scenarios, thus demonstrating its versatility and adaptability.

Virtual patchbay for flexible routing

About Antelope Audio

Antelope Audio is a manufacturer of professional audio equipment that was founded by developer Igor Levin, who invented the famous AardSync clock generator with which his then-company Aardvark made waves in the world of audio engineering at the end of the 20th century. In 2005, Igor Levin went – as he himself put it – back to his roots and continued to develop the AardSync concept. The result of this development work was the “Oven Clock”, a word clock generator that is kept at a constant temperature of 64.5°C to provide increased stability and improve jitter performance. The newly founded Antelope Audio caused a similar splash in 2005 with its OCX Clock Generator. Today, Antelope Audio, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality audio interfaces and AD/DA converters and includes big names such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan among its users.

Optimum performance in every setting

The Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core excels in all audio environments, from immersive and surround sound setups to complex sound productions. It is particularly adept where intricate mixes are required in music, film, TV, video games, and VR, as well as being ideal for live multi-channel productions and complex art sound installations. Speaker and monitor calibration is simplified with a flexible eight-band EQ, independent level adjustments, alignment delays, and room correction, complemented by a visual representation of the speaker layout and bass management. The inclusion of 23 presets for various surround sound formats, such as 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos 5.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.1.6, streamlines the setup process, ensuring optimum sound quality in any environment.

4000euro for the word clock & comes with 32*32 adda is a great deal.
all input & output is configurable between +12dBu ~ +22dBu.
afx2daw not available for now.
Driver's quality is not good compared to RME, even in macOS.

Toller Sound aber schreckliche Anschlüsse

Robin822 23.01.2022

Der Sound dieses Interfaces ist genial. Wenn es denn mal stabil läuft. Die große Schwachstelle sind die Anschlüsse. Der schlimmste: USB-C... Das erste Gerät ging nach wenigen Tagen wieder zu Thomann zurück. USB-C Buchse im Gerät abgebrochen und ratterte schön im Gehäuse irgendwo rum. Das zweite Gerät fängt jetzt auch schon wieder mit wackeln an. (Ohne, dass ich auch nur in die Nähe des USB-C Anschlusses gekommen bin.) Die Adat Kabel rutschen einfach immer mal wieder raus und die SUB-D Anschlüsse wackeln auch.
Der Klang und das Routing sind toll, aber was bringt das, wenn es nicht zuverlässig läuft. Ich werde es jetzt zurückschicken und mir UAD Interfaces holen. Die scheinen ja dann doch robuster gebaut zu sein. Sehr schade. Was mich auch ärgert: Ich habe sehr viele Kabel zusätzlich zu dem Interface gekauft damit ich mein Studio verkabeln kann. SUB-D sind ja auch sowas von billig... Ich bin echt enttäuscht von der Marke.
