Antelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen3

Full Description

Connect and control

There are 64 channels (in and out) over Thunderbolt or 32 channels over USB as well as digital I/O features like MADI, ADAT, S/PDIF. All the ins and outs you'll ever need. The front panel provides an easy way to control all these connections ,as well as an intuitive way to control the routing via the PC/Mac application. So long as your computer is the same network as the Gen 3, you can control its parameters. Connect easily with whatever DAW you use and record, playback, and mix with super low latency.

Top class level conversion

Impeccable conversion for your studio rack. The cutting-edge AD/DA converters have up to 129dB dynamic range. This gives you loads of headroom as noise levels get drastically reduced from regular recording devices. As a signal travels through to the mixing environment noise levels build up. Thanks to the converters high dynamic range, this is hugely reduced, resulting in a much higher quality of sound.

Ultra low latency

Thanks to Thunderbolt now being available on Windows as well as Mac, the Orion 32 now operates at sub-millisecond latency. This means that your recordings are at a pinpoint level of accuracy resulting in better timings and tighter mixes. The driver that runs Thunderbolt is also extremely stable - get incredible results no matter what operating system you run.

The future of effects

The Gen 3 features a massive selection of real-time effects that help shape your mix. Hear your music, the way you want to. As the Antelope Audio library grows, so does your ability to harness some of the best effects available. De-Esser, to control your sibilants. PowerEx to help expand your sound. Auraverb to add width and colour to guitars, vocals, and drums. This huge array of high-level effects means you can take your mixing to the next level with all the essential mixing and mastering tools you need to help your tracks stand out.

Next level clocking

Prevent distortion and jitter thanks to Orion Gen 3's world-class clocking. Clocking allows you to create very accurate recreations of your audio signals. The better this clocking is, the better your music sounds. Gen 3's acoustic naturality is thanks to Antelope Audio's next-gen 64-bit clocking tech and jitter management. The two-word clock outputs can turn your Orion 32+ into a professional standard Master Clock for your studio.
