Antelope Orion Studio Rev 2017 Overview

Featuring USB and Thunderbolt connections, twelve class-A mic preamps, and multiple output connection points, the 2015 iteration of the Orion Studio provided Antelope's signature conversion and clocking capabilities in interface form, and thus, allowed you to record and mix multi-channel audio either on the go or in your own studio; the Orion Studio Rev 2017 improves upon the original by increasing the dynamic range of the A/D while simultaneously decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio. Its latency has also been reduced.

Hi-Z, mic, and line inputs abound, and the interface can facilitate 32 channels of conversion via Thunderbolt or 24 channels via USB—giving you low-latency audio in either case. The Orion Studio also features ADAT and S/PDIF digital connection points, as well as BNC jacks providing wordclock I/Os. Indeed, this unit offers Antelope-style clocking powered by 64-bit AFC technology to handle jitter.

Turning your attention to its form-factor, notice how the Orion Studio fits all of these features into a single RU of rackspace. Additionally, the unit includes a digital control system; compatible with OS X and Windows operating systems, this software offers user-friendly manipulation over the interface's various controls.

Class-A Mic Pres
The Orion Studio provides twelve Class-A Mic Pres, as well as combination jacks which handle both XLR and 1/4" sound sources.
Guitar Interface
In partnership with Overloud, the Orion Studio offers integrated amp and cabinet simulations both vintage and contemporary in sound. The hardware-based FPGA effects allow guitarists to experiment with multiple speaker configurations, mic placement and EQ settings—all with low-latency.
Low Latency
Orion Studio utilizes a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device to offer parallel processing capabilities and providing low-latency possible whilst utilizing Antelope's included audio effects.
Remote App Support
Orion Studio provides an iOS / Android mobile app that can control the unit's mic pres and other parameters from a smartphone or tablet.
Vintage FX Bundle
The Orion Studio offers its own emulations of legendary hardware pieces, such as the Pultec EQ. An AuraVerb reverb module is also included.
Monitoring Options
Orion Studio can allow you to create up to four independent, zero-latency mixes. These can be assigned to any output—including the two separate headphone outs. With this interface, musicians and engineers alike can monitor a session in their preferred manner. Control and switching among two pairs of monitors and both headphone outputs is handled in the digital control panel.
Full Complement of Connections
This device, and its digital control panel, works with most DAWs, be they OS X- or Windows-based. A variety of digital and analog I/Os—combined with its routing matrix—render the device conveniently interconnectable with various kinds outboard gear. Orion Studio offers two pairs of monitoring outputs, 16 analog outs, two reamp outputs, plus 16 channels I/O via ADAT and 2 channels I/O on S/PDIF.
