Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core Audio Interface with MRC Remote Controller

Key Features

• Synergy Core FX Processing:Run a massive library of 50 included analog-modeled effects in real-time with imperceptible latency, powered by 2x FPGA and 6x DSP chips. This frees up your host computer's resources for larger projects.
• 12 Discrete Preamps & Mastering-Grade Conversion:Capture every nuance with 12 ultra-linear, transparent preamps offering 75dB of pristine gain. The class-leading AD/DA converters provide up to 130dB of dynamic range for critical listening and artifact-free recording.
• MRC Remote Controller for Immersive Audio:Gain tactile control over your monitoring setup. The MRC allows seamless management of over 23 formats, from stereo to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6, with physical knobs and buttons for volume, mute, solo, and preset recall.
• Extensive Connectivity:Connect your entire studio with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 ports, 16 line outputs via DB25, dual ADAT, S/PDIF, and Word Clock I/O. The interface is ready for any recording scenario, from tracking a band to connecting modular synths with DC-coupled I/O.
• 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking:Experience unparalleled sonic depth and stereo separation. Antelope's proprietary jitter management algorithm ensures a stable and artifact-free audio signal, a hallmark of the world's most prestigious studios.
• Dual Monitor & Re-amp Outputs:Utilize two independent pairs of monitor outputs for A/B referencing. Dedicated re-amp outputs allow you to send recorded DI signals back through guitar amps and pedals for creative flexibility.

Why Orion Studio Synergy Core with MRC Is Better

The Orion Studio Synergy Core with MRC stands apart from its competitors by offering a fully integrated hardware and software solution. Unlike interfaces that rely solely on your computer's CPU for effects processing, the Synergy Core platform offloads this intensive task to dedicated onboard chips, ensuring system stability and near-zero latency, even in large sessions. This bundle is also a direct gateway to immersive audio production; while other interfaces may support multichannel output, the included MRC provides the essential tactile control that is critical for an efficient Dolby Atmos workflow, a feature often sold separately at a significant cost. The 130dB dynamic range on the monitor outputs surpasses many interfaces in its class, providing mastering-grade fidelity for critical listening.

FAQs for Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core Audio Interface with MRC Remote Controller

Q: What is the main advantage of the Synergy Core processing?

A: It allows you to run dozens of high-quality effects plugins in real-time with near-zero latency, without using your computer's CPU power. This leads to a more stable system and allows for much larger and more complex projects.

Q: Is this bundle ready for Dolby Atmos mixing?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Orion Studio Synergy Core supports immersive audio formats up to 9.1.6, and the included MRC Remote Controller provides the essential tactile control needed for an efficient Atmos workflow.

Q: Can I use the Orion Studio with both Mac and PC?

A: Yes, it offers both Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 connectivity, making it compatible with both macOS (10.12 or newer) and Windows 10 systems.

Q: How many effects can I run at once?

A: You can load up to 256 effects instances across 32 individual channel strips, with up to 8 effects per strip, providing immense processing power for any session.

Q: What kind of plugins are included?

A: The interface comes with a collection of 50 analog-modeled effects, including classic EQs, compressors, mic preamps, and guitar amp/cab simulations.

Q: Can I connect my analog outboard gear?

A: Yes, there are two analog insert points on the first two preamps for integrating hardware like compressors or EQs directly into your recording chain. You can also use the 16 line outputs to connect to summing mixers and other gear.

Q: What is the benefit of the MRC controller over software control?

A: The MRC provides a much faster, more intuitive, and tactile workflow. Instead of using a mouse, you can control monitor volume, speaker selection, mutes, solos, and presets with physical buttons and a knob, which is crucial in a professional mixing environment.

Q: Is the MRC controller bus-powered?

A: Yes, the MRC connects and is powered by a single USB cable connected to your computer, requiring no external power supply.

Q: What is 'Acoustically Focused Clocking'?

A: It is Antelope Audio's proprietary 64-bit jitter management technology. It ensures an extremely stable clock signal, resulting in wider stereo imaging, greater detail, and an artifact-free, professional sound.

Q: Can I record line-level sources without preamp coloration?

A: Yes, the 'Direct In' feature allows you to bypass the microphone preamps entirely, feeding the signal directly to the high-quality A/D converters for the most transparent recording possible.

Q: How many headphone outputs does it have?

A: It features two independent stereo headphone outputs on the front panel, allowing for separate cue mixes for two performers.

Q: Do I need to buy a separate license for the immersive audio features?

A: No, with the purchase of the MRC controller, the immersive monitoring functionality for the Orion Studio Synergy Core is included.

Q: What is the warranty policy in India?

A: As an authorized dealer, we provide the official 1-year manufacturer warranty. Service is handled by the authorized service center located in India.

Q: Will I get a proper GST bill for my purchase?

A: Yes, we always provide a full GST invoice, so you can claim input tax credit for your business.
