Antelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen4 32-Channel AD/DA Audio Interface with Thunderbolt 3

The Antelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen4 is a professional 32-channel AD/DA audio interface designed for high-end recording studios, post-production facilities, and complex live sound applications. Housed in a standard 1RU rackmount unit, it serves as a central hub for converting analogue signals to digital and vice versa, connecting a wide array of outboard gear, mixing consoles, and instruments to a computer workstation. Its core function is to provide pristine audio conversion with high channel counts for demanding professional environments. The interface is built around Antelope's proprietary 4th Generation Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology with a 64-bit DDS, which aims to reduce jitter and improve audio fidelity. A key feature is its flexible connectivity, offering 128 channels of simultaneous audio via both Thunderbolt 3 and dual fibre-optic MADI connections. It provides 32 analogue inputs and outputs via D-SUB 25 connectors, plus dedicated monitor outputs, ADAT, and S/PDIF ports. The DC-coupled analogue I/O allows it to interface with modular synthesizers by sending control voltage (CV) signals directly from a DAW. The unit is compatible with both Windows and macOS systems and can be powered via its included adapter. The Orion 32+ Gen4 is best suited for audio engineers, producers, and facilities that require extensive I/O for large-scale recordings, hardware processing chains, or broadcast setups. Its ability to daisy-chain up to four units via a single computer connection makes it scalable for immense sessions. The redesigned software control panel enhances workflow with a comprehensive preset system for routing, levels, and monitoring, including a handy always-on-top widget for quick adjustments. This interface fits into professional workflows where reliability, sonic quality, and expansive connectivity are paramount.
