128-Channel Thunderbolt/USB audio interface with 64-bit AFC
For over a decade now the Orion 32 line of interfaces has been revolutionizing the world of professional audio recording and production. The latest revision of this iconic 1RU studio centerpiece steps up the game by taking the best of its predecessors and adjusting it to the ever-growing needs and standards of the industry. Orion 32+ Gen4 incorporates the latest Antelope Audio tech, drastically boosting the unit's potential.
STANDARD-SETTING CONVERSION AND CLOCKING
Antelope Audio interfaces are globally renowned for their industry-leading conversion and clocking and Orion 32+ Gen4 gives you the latest Antelope technology. Its AD/DA converters are capable of achieving up to 130dB dynamic range, ensuring Gen4 its leading position among 1U studio centerpieces. Antelope Audio's signature 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology powers the high-performing conversion and the unit's two Word Clock outputs are there to keep your whole studio in line. Additionally, the available 10MHz input is compatible with the cream of the crop of clocking - the unrivaled 10M & 10MX Atomic Clocks by Antelope Audio.
128-CHANNELS OF AUDIO VIA THUNDERBOLT? AND MADI
Orion 32+ Gen4 can stream twice as many channels over Thunderbolt? as its predecessor and has twice as much MADI connectivity, now at 128 channels for both. These significant upgrades allow for up to four units to be daisy-chained for 128 channels of AD/DA via a single computer connection. This makes the unit a top choice for large recordings, live sound applications, complex post-production setups and broadcast facilities. It's a preferred companion to large mixing consoles, hardware effects processing chains, analog summing boxes, reel-to-reel setups, hardware synthesizers and pretty much anything else you can throw at it.
EMBRACE THE FUTURE OF AUDIO PRODUCTION
Orion 32+ Gen4 is compatible with the latest Antelope Audio Atmos-ready surround and immersive audio monitoring system. The integrated platform supports over 23 audio formats from stereo to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 and offers precise speaker and room calibration tools. The system's intuitive monitoring controls and fast preset recall functionality are designed to increase productivity. It is available as an optional upgrade for the Orion 32+ Gen4. As a physical extension of the system, the compatible Antelope MRC hardware controller provides streamlined and tactile controls that are key for effortless yet advanced monitoring.
REDESIGNED WORKFLOW FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY
Orion 32+ Gen4 comes not only with an updated look and drastically boosted hardware but with a redesigned Software Control Panel for an even smoother workflow. It now features a powerful preset recall system complete with signal routing, level adjustments, mixer settings and monitoring controls, among others. A handy monitoring pop-out widget has been introduced for hands-on output level control and preset recall, featuring an always-on-top function.
The unit's signal routing matrix is now fully customizable with convenient patching and less complexity in mind.
EASY INTEGRATION IN ANY SETUP
Orion 32+ Gen4 is more than generous when it comes down to its available connectivity options. The unit is designed for quick and effortless integration in a variety of studio configurations - be that Thunderbolt or USB based. The interface is compatible with both Windows and macOS systems and with extra options such as its ADAT port is guaranteed to fit all possible applications - from recording, mixing, interfacing, and conversion to being used as an advanced patch bay or monitor controller. Orion 32+ Gen4 is also ready to become your modular synth's best friend as it features DC Coupled I/O allowing you to send CV signal from your DAW of choice straight up to your hardware instruments.

Antelope Orion 32+ Gen 4
My last Sound Card Interface was the Apogee I/O Mark1. So I was very used to having pristine sound with no problems what so ever. I needed a to upgrade as it was time but I now needed some with 32 ins and outs and with Apogee that would have costed me over $10,000.00.
Read moreSo I have heard lots about Antelope and the price was in my price range. So it's now in my studio and I think this is a great product. It's a slightly different sound than my Apogee and the Antelope is as every bit as good as the Apogee. Actually the sound is more real like because there is no bumps in the frequencies as with the Apogee. I started off using the USB cable they give you and that's actually a waste of time. I bought a Thunderbolt cable and the program worked flawlessly once I bought the Thunderbolt cable. I really like the sound of this unit. It was actually easy to configure. The only problem I had was with the USB cable. So if your thinking of getting one go out and buy one, you will not be disappointed what so ever. Plus, thanks Mario for putting me in the direction of the Antelope Orion 32+ Gen 4. Merci?..
