Usb audio interface
TheAntelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen4 is a professional audio interface designed for demanding studio, broadcast and post-production applications. It's ideal for complex setups requiring a large number of inputs/outputs and impeccable audio quality. You benefit from high-end conversion, massive routing and ultra-stable synchronization. A reference choice for technically demanding professional environments.
Features
High-end audio conversion
Capture and reproduce sound with extreme precision. With up to 130 dB of dynamic range in 24-bit/192 kHz, your recordings gain in detail, depth and definition. Ideal for mixing, mastering or demanding productions.
Next-generation 64-bit clock
You benefit from ultra-stable synchronization. The proprietary clock reduces jitter and improves stereo accuracy. The result: sharper, more coherent sound, even in complex setups with multiple digital devices.
Up to 128 Streaming Channels
Manage large-scale sessions without limitations. Thunderbolt 3 and MADI support up to 128 channels. Perfect for multichannel studios, analog consoles or broadcast environments.
Multi-unit daisy-chaining
Easily expand your configuration. Up to 4 units can be connected to a single computer. Adapt your setup to your needs, without changing interfaces.
Complete professional connectivity
Integrate the interface into any studio. Thunderbolt, USB, MADI, ADAT, S/PDIF and DB25 connect consoles, external devices and existing digital systems. DC-coupled inputs and outputs also open the door to CV control.
Advanced and flexible routing
You have precise control over all your audio streams. The routing matrix makes it easy to connect all sources and destinations. Presets save time between sessions.
Latency-free monitoring and mixing
Create monitor mixes in real time. Four internal mixers let you manage multiple monitors or perform internal summing. Ideal for recording or tracking sessions.
Audio Immersive compatible
Working in surround or Dolby Atmos. The interface supports many immersive formats with precise speaker calibration. Perfect for post-production and advanced audio projects.
Realtime FPGA effects
Apply studio hardware-inspired processing without latency. Compression, EQ and other effects add character directly to the take or mix.
Compact, silent rack format
You can easily integrate the interface into your rack. The fanless 1U format guarantees silent operation, suitable for professional studio environments.
