Antelope GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE Overview

Combining 32 channels of AD/DA conversion, versatile Dante / HDX / Thunderbolt 3 host connectivity, surround and immersive monitoring, and integrated, Synergy Core real-time effects processing, the Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core is a mastering-grade audio interface that packs expansive I/O, premium clocking, and robust DSP into a 1 RU chassis, making it an extremely attractive solution for audio engineers in recording studios, post-production facilities, broadcast trucks, and live stage applications.

To merge perfectly with large, high-end production systems, the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core supports high-resolution 24-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion and delivers 130 dB of headroom, vast dynamic range, and ultralow harmonic distortion for critical listening without coloration or signal degradation.

Connect directly to a Thunderbolt-equipped Mac/Windows computer, tap into audio-over-IP networks via Dante, or use the interface as a 64-channel hub for a Pro Tools HDX system. In addition to the DB25 connectors for analog I/O, this interface features digital I/O including fiber-optic MADI, ADAT, and S/PDIF. For added flexibility, the unit can also be used in standalone mode. The dedicated 1/4" monitor outputs are ideal for hooking up a pair of active monitors.

The Galaxy 32 Synergy Core also functions as a master clock, providing the same clarity and precision synonymous with Antelope, along with 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology to handle jitter. Two wordclock outputs, a wordclock input, and a 10 MHz atomic clock input allow proper synchronization with a variety of digital equipment.

Clocking and Conversion for Unrivaled Audio Performance
  • Proprietary 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology delivers spacious stereo image/soundstage with distinct separation for an unrivaled level of detail.
  • High-resolution A/D and D/A conversion up to 24-bit / 192 kHz ensures artifact-free recordings.
  • Mastering-grade converter with 130 dB headroom deliver unrivaled audio performance for your entire studio.
A New Level of Immersion
  • With comprehensive, surround- and immersive-monitoring control and speaker-calibration functionality for up to 16 channels or 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core is well equipped for any surround or immersive audio setup.
  • The 23+ preset formats configurable via the onboard routing enable the Galaxy to effortlessly integrate into any workflow.
Seamless Integration, Extensive I/O for Large Sessions
All the Galaxy 32's I/Os are available at any time and can be used simultaneously without the need to exchange boards or change setups, making it easy to work on multiple sessions.

  • 32 analog input channels over 4 D-sub 25 connectors with AC/DC coupling switch (TASCAM standard).
  • 32 analog output channels over 4 DC-coupled D-sub 25 connectors (TASCAM standard).
  • 2 Dante ports: up to 64 I/O of Dante audio over IP with primary port for audio transfer over long distances and a mirrored secondary port for redundancy.
  • 2 HDX ports (24-bit / 192 kHz): up to 64 channels I/O for Pro Tools HD / HDX integration.
  • Thunderbolt 3 port with custom Mac and Windows drivers for low-latency performance in native DAW applications.
  • Digital I/O: 64 channels of optical MADI, 8 channels of ADAT, and 2 channels over S/PDIF.
  • Clocking I/O: One word clock/loop sync input, two word clock/loop sync outputs, one 10M input.
  • Dedicated stereo monitor output over 1/4" TRS.
Synergy Core Real-Time Effect Processing
  • 37 Synergy Core effects analog-modeled after iconic studio equipment are included, and over 30 more are available as optional expansions.
  • Synergy Core proprietary onboard platform is powered by 6 DSP and 2 FPGA chips for real-time effect processing with imperceptible latency.
  • The exclusive compressors, EQs, and preamps are processed entirely inside the interface, putting zero load on your host CPU.
  • The onboard Synergy Core contains the processing power of a complex multirack setup, which enables you to load up to 128 instances of your favorite signal processors in a single session.
Features That Make Record-Making Easier
  • The digital routing of the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core is via an entirely virtual patch bay that will help you quickly sort all the channels going in and out of the interface.
  • For maximum ease, a simple drag-and-drop function and color-coded labeling help you save time when setting up complicated input/output signal routing.
  • Apart from the intuitive routing, the software control panel allows you to run DAW playback channels through effects, create presets, quickly configure mixes, and more.
  • All digital ports can be used simultaneously for easy integration with multiple systems and different setups.
  • 4 onboard low-latency stereo mixers with 32 input channels each are suitable for monitoring or summing—with adjustable levels, panning, and reverb settings.
  • Customizable presets complete with signal routing, level adjustments, mixer settings, and effects.
  • Two 1.8" IPS display screens for independent signal metering.
  • Option to work without being connected to a computer (standalone operation).
  • Wireless control of software features from a separate computer connected to the same network.

Antelope GALAXY 32 SYNERGY CORE Reviews

The Heart of my Studio…

This is arguably the most robust audio interface on the market. 32 in/out, plus Dante, Mati, spdif, and adat. The patching interface takes a second to grasp but for a system as flexible as this, it’s to be expected. No problems with any of the install (Mac) if you take your time and follow in installation steps. The virtual mixers and built in effects are very useful. Very satisfied and happy with it - it’s The key/foundational component in my studio.

Amazing!!!

I replaced my 4 Avid HDX converters with this and it was as though a vail was lifted from Pro Tools. The amount of high quality audio conversion Antelope packed into this box is dizzying. But, to also add a digital patchbay, real-time zero latency audio plugins, real-time conversion to and from various digital formats and more is insane. Then there's the Thunderbolt connection and high resolution master grade stereo out, which is a thing of beauty. I really don't know how I managed before buying this thing! It is now the nerve center of my entire pro studio, which features 32 channels of audio I/O plus another 32 over dante, which feed 64 channels of HDX i/o. And, these are all interconnected via the built in patch bay. This one unit high box replaced an entire rack of gear. One of my best purchases ever.

When recording 32 tracks via a DAW with TB3, can a second Daw be connected to run a backup recording?
Asked by: David
The best way to do this is to use the Dante connections. With Dante, you can split the signals to as many computers as you want with a single cable at lengths of 300'.
