Antelope Audio Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core Thunderbolt/USB Audio Interface

The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core builds upon the sonic heritage of its predecessor with the latest generation AD/DA converters (now with up to 130 dB headroom), and adds signal routing and processing capabilities seldom seen in a compact unit of this price range.

The audio interface has been redesigned to give small and medium studio owners, bands, and recording engineers unlimited flexibility in every recording scenario.

Soundquality
• Discrete 6-transistor preamps inspired by vintage console design.
• Latest generation A/D converters with improved dynamic range (up to 130dB)
for even better sound quality.

• Proprietary 64-bit AFCTM clocking technology – the same as in our industry-
standard master clocks.

14 × 20 I/O simultaneous connectivity
• 4 × Discrete 6-transistor preamps with 65dB of gain for pristine recordings.
All work as microphone/line and two are also Hi-Z inputs, on combo
XLR jacks, and supply 48V of phantom power.
• 4 × DC-coupled line outputs on TRS jacks.
• Dedicated stereo monitor output.
• Digitally expandable over ADAT and S/PDIF (total of 10 in/10 out channels
available).
• Two word clock outputs, letting you distribute the interface’s highly stable
clock signal across your studio.
• Four independent stereo headphone outputs with separate volume control.

Workflow-enhancing features
• Expanded routing capabilities – select audio sources per channel from
a drop-down menu, or make use of a virtual patch bay.
• 4 fully independent virtual 32-channel mixers – output of each can be routed
to any of the outputs of the interface.
• Save and recall all settings of the control panel with presets.
• Color display with configurable metering.
• ThunderboltTM 3 and USB 2.0 ports with custom low-latency macOS &
Windows drivers.

Real-time effects processing
• Included collection of 37 Synergy Core effects modeled after classic and rare
analog outboard gear (compressors, EQs, mic pres etc.)
• Synergy Core proprietary onboard platform powered by 2 × DSP & 1 × FPGA
chips.
• Direct monitoring, recording and playback with Synergy Core effects,
processed in real-time with imperceptible latency.
• Expandable library with over 60 effects available for additional purchase.
