The Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a powerful 2U rackmount recording interface that brings together 64 channels of analogue I/O with onboard effects processing and seamless connectivity to your entire studio. Designed for demanding projects across music production, broadcast, live sound, and post environments, it delivers high-fidelity AD/DA conversion and supports multiple formats with exceptional flexibility. With built-in Dante, HDX and Thunderbolt connectivity, it is the first interface of its kind to offer this level of integration in such a compact form.
By centralising your studio’s audio infrastructure into one streamlined unit, the Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core eliminates the need for external converters, expansion modules or additional interface cards. Switching between sessions and adapting to different workflows is fast and intuitive, supported by instant preset recall and deep software integration. All I/O remains available at all times without needing to change cards or configurations, enabling direct interfacing with multiple DAWs and systems through a single unit.
This is the only interface to offer four HDX ports, supporting up to 128 channels in Pro Tools at 192kHz sample rate. Alongside that, two Dante ports allow full 64-channel audio-over-IP operation with redundancy, ideal for installations or productions requiring reliable networked audio transfer. Thunderbolt connectivity provides additional flexibility across Mac and Windows platforms, with all formats running simultaneously thanks to Antelope’s exclusive FPGA architecture and advanced digital routing.
Built to support the future of audio, the Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is fully compatible with immersive audio formats including Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. It includes extensive speaker calibration and monitoring tools that support over 23 audio formats, helping engineers work productively in immersive and surround environments. When combined with the Antelope MRC controller, you gain direct tactile access to monitor and routing functions for hands-on control.
High-spec AD/DA conversion ensures low harmonic distortion and an ultra-wide dynamic range for clean, uncoloured signal capture. The dedicated mastering-grade monitor converter allows precise listening without external gear, supporting detailed evaluation with wider stereo imaging and accurate playback. Clocking is handled by Antelope’s proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking system with jitter management, the same technology found in the Isochrone Trinity, delivering increased clarity, depth, and separation.
Included with the Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a suite of 37 real-time effects, all running on dedicated DSP and FPGA processors. These effects include detailed emulations of rare and iconic studio gear, such as vintage American EQs, Danish mastering compressors, boutique preamps, reverbs and more. Effects are available for live tracking, mixing and monitoring without taxing your host computer, with support for up to 256 plugin instances across 64 virtual racks.
Control of the Antelope Galaxy 64 is handled through an intuitive software panel that offers precise access to all functions, including signal routing, real-time effects, gain structure, internal mixers and metering. The drag-and-drop Routing Matrix and ultra-low latency internal mixing tools make it simple to configure complex setups, all within a single user interface.
The Antelope Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a complete audio interface solution for modern studios seeking full-format support, powerful real-time processing, and precision monitoring in a compact, robust format.
