Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Pro Synergy Core Audio Interface

A New Frontier in FX Processing - The Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Pro Synergy Core Audio Interface

The new Discrete 8 Pro SC introduces Antelope Audio’s latest software features and allows studio owners, bands, and recording engineers to record with legendary sound quality. With blazing-fast Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0, ultra-low latency performance, and even better effects processing capabilities, this audio interface is worthy of carrying the name of the model that first introduced us to the Synergy Core technology.

• High-fidelity conversion for detailed sound when recording and streaming audio, and 64-bit AFC clocking technology delivering spacious stereo image with distinct separation
• Eight Discrete console-grade 6-transistor preamps on combo XLR jacks for professional recordings; the combo jacks work as microphone/line inputs, and two of them are Hi-Z compatible
• Eight DC-coupled analog output channels (D-Sub 25), two reamp outputs (TRS), ADAT and S/PDIF I/O; all I/O can be used simultaneously in real time
• 37 Synergy Core analog-modeled effects included and over 60 available as optional expansions, processed in real-time with imperceptible latency
• Two routing options are available – standard routing that lets you switch audio sources per channel via drop-down menu and virtual patch-bay allowing the execution of advanced input/output routing via drag and drop
