The Antelope Audio Discrete Oryx 8 is a flexible audio interface with a software patchbay environment and crossfeed headphone processing.
The Antelope Audio line of audio interfaces combines high-quality preamps and conversion stages with the manufacturer’s low-latency Synergy Core DSP processing.
Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Oryx
The Discrete 8 Oryx is an extremely versatile 26×38 rackmountable USB interface with 24-bit 192 kHz recording and a wealth of connectivity for analogue, digital, and clocking I/O. With Antelope’s latest conversion technology, the Discrete 8 Oryx offers 64-bit AFC clocking and up to 130 dB of dynamic range for exceptional detail and stereo imaging.
As the name suggests, the input stage is equipped with eight discrete console-style transistor-based Class-A XLR combo mic preamps, with 75 dB of gain and mic modeling support when combined with Antelope’s Edge microphones. Also, there is a range of analogue outputs, including the main balanced TRS outputs, a set of alt speaker or re-amping outputs, and eight output channels via D-Sub 25.
This enables switching between two sets of monitors, or adding guitar amps and outboard gear into your DAW workflow. Meanwhile, the D-Sub connector can be wired directly into a patchbay or summing mixer for easy routing in the analogue domain. On the digital side, the Discrete 8 Oryx has a software patchbay app, providing easy access to monitoring setups and the onboard Synergy Core effects.
In addition, the digital I/O includes ADAT with up to 16 channels at 48 kHz, as well as S/PDIF, and three word clock outputs for sending stable clocking to other digital conversion stages. There are also four independent headphone outputs, and the new X-FEED headphone processing and calibration tool for getting the most neutral results from your headphones.
