Antelope updated the Orion Studio with advanced A/D for 124 dB dynamic range. You get 12 mic preamps, 32x32 I/O via Thunderbolt/USB and 70+ FPGA FX on board.

The Antelope Audio Orion Studio Rev2017 Thunderbolt and USB Audio Interface secret weapon is the extremely powerful Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Its massive parallel processing capabilities are far ahead of DSP chips used in similar devices. Through smart algorithms, oversampling and custom-tweaked models, the FPGA provides the lowest latency possible, allowing you to create up to four independent, zero latency mixes. Those can be easily assigned to any output including the two separate headphone outs.

Enjoy The True Sound Of Classic Studio Gear With Orion Studio's Real-Time FPGA Vintage FX.

Orion Studio comes with a full yet ever-expanding list of Antelope Vintage FX models. Open up to 32 compressors at once, without losing any of your 40 EQ instances. This is a major advantage over DSP processing. All Antelope Audio FX can be used for real-time tracking, monitoring and are easily routed to work on a mix inside the DAW.
