Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy Core Sound Card

Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy Core

Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy core is an audio interface that guarantees real-time performance with low latency.

New frontier in effects processing

Synergy Core is Antelope Audio's next generation signal processing platform. By leveraging FPGA's powerful parallel computing capabilities and industry-leading DSP power, the device frees up your CPU while simultaneously processing FX with extremely low latency. Two DSP chips + one FPGA chip can handle up to 4 lanes of the FX channel, 8 slots each for a maximum of 32 samples at any sample rate.

Real-time monitoring

Built from the ground up for the Synergy Core platform, Auto-Tune Synergy adds real-time pitch correction. Fully adjustable Retune Speed, Flex-Tune and Humanize are at your disposal with auto key and auto scale.

Unlimited library possibilities

The card includes a remarkable library of 36 real-time studio effects carefully modeled after the original hardware. It all happens inside your audio interface with the lowest possible latency thanks to the FPGA's massive parallel computing capabilities, DSP processing, and fast Thunderbolt connectivity.

6 discrete transistor preamps

The core of Discrete 8 Synergy is equipped with unique 6-transistor discrete preamps for console-grade sound quality. The circuit is the result of extensive research into the legendary microphone preamps that have shaped the sound of countless recordings.

Compatible with simulated microphones

Accusonic 3D Synergy Core's discrete modeling engine transforms Antelope Audio Edge and Verge modeling microphones into expensive sounding counterparts. Shape the ultimate sound with complete control over the proximity effect and reverse polar patterns during or after recording. Choose from a collection of classic and rare microphones and record them live, showcasing the musician's finest performances.

Best-in-class monitor DAC

With a dynamic range of up to 130dB during the monitoring phase, you can mix with confidence while enjoying exceptional detail and instrument separation.

Unprecedented connectivity

With an abundance of analog and digital connections, as well as USB and Thunderbolt ports for connecting to a computer, the card offers more options than any DSP interface. Choose from eight mic / line inputs, two instrument inputs, eight DB25 DC coupled line outputs, a pair of monitor outputs, two amplifier outputs, two headphone outputs and S / PDIF.
