The Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core redefines performance in its category by building on the legacy of the Antelope Orion 32 line and introducing Dante audio networking alongside Synergy Core processing. Designed for use in professional recording studios and high-end production or broadcast facilities, it offers 32 channels of analogue I/O with mastering-grade AD/DA conversion and precise clocking. Integration with HDX and Thunderbolt allows the interface to fit seamlessly into virtually any workflow.
All studio equipment can be connected to a single 1U rackmount chassis, simplifying cabling and streamlining the recording environment. In addition to functioning as an interface, the Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core also replaces patch bays, monitoring controllers, and complex routing setups. With everything routed through one central hub, the system becomes easier to manage while maintaining pristine audio quality across all connected devices.
The interface supports immersive audio workflows through compatibility with Antelope’s Atmos-ready monitoring system. More than 23 audio formats are supported, including Dolby Atmos 9.1.6, with precise speaker and room calibration, intuitive monitoring control and fast preset recall. When paired with the optional MRC hardware controller, the system provides hands-on, tactile control for immersive audio monitoring.
For networked audio environments, Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core includes two Dante ports for reliable audio-over-IP connectivity. A simple Ethernet connection gives you access to 64 channels of Dante alongside the full analogue and digital I/O of the interface, with a mirrored port for redundancy. Whether expanding an existing Dante setup or building a new one from scratch, the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core can serve as the foundation of the entire system.
The interface also integrates tightly with Pro Tools systems through two HDX ports, supporting 64 channels at 192kHz without requiring additional hardware. This is made possible by Antelope’s unique FPGA configuration, which preserves full channel count at high sample rates. Used in combination with HD Native or HDX’s low-latency monitoring and delay compensation, the interface delivers top-tier performance and conversion in any Pro Tools environment.
Sound quality is supported by Antelope’s proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking and jitter management, inherited from the Isochrone Trinity master clock. This technology ensures maximum clarity, width and separation, with AD/DA conversion that captures every nuance of a performance. The result is mastering-grade sound quality across every input and output, suitable for the most demanding applications.
Control is managed through a user-friendly software panel that includes drag-and-drop routing, simultaneous use of all digital ports, and direct low-latency monitoring with onboard effects. A virtual patch bay allows complex signal flows to be created quickly and saved as presets. Multiple sources can be routed to several destinations at once, and the interface supports concurrent use of Thunderbolt, HDX, Dante, MADI and ADAT ports without compromising channel count.
The four onboard stereo mixers, each with 32 inputs, can be used for individual cue mixes and submixes. They support panning, reverb and effect processing, making them ideal for personalised headphone mixes or live summing. Direct monitoring is available with real-time, analogue-modelled effects applied with virtually no latency. These effects can be committed during recording to shape sound from the outset.
Once connected to a local network, the interface can operate in standalone mode without a computer, making it ideal for live recording setups. Presets for routing, level settings, mixers and effects can be saved and shared across sessions and studios to speed up workflow and standardise production.
Powered by Antelope’s Synergy Core platform, the interface includes a powerful collection of real-time effects modelled on iconic studio gear. With 32 virtual racks and support for 128 effect instances per session, the Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core replaces entire racks of outboard processors while using no host CPU resources. The effects collection can be expanded at any time, including third-party options such as Antares Auto-Tune.
Altogether, the Antelope Galaxy 32 Synergy Core combines flexible I/O, real-time processing, immersive audio support and pristine conversion in a single rack unit, offering a complete solution for professionals who demand high performance and streamlined control.
