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
A New Level of Immersion
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.
