Audio Interfaces

Antelope Audio's Orion was a revolutionary box when it first landed. Not only offering 32 channels of audio input and output in a single rack space and on USB, but coupled with both top quality conversion and clocking, they've quickly become a favourite of many studios and mastering houses across the world.

The Orion 32 has now been joined by Orion 32 +. Still housed in a single rack space, the Orion 32+ features the same 32 channels of input and output, 24bit 192KHz conversion and 64 channels of MADI, along with clock output and the ability to clock at 10MHz from Antelope Audios' 10M external clock, the Plus model will features Thunderbolt in addition to USB.

In addition to this, Antelope have released a multi-purpose Orion Studio. Designed more as a stand-alone studio box, the Studio has 12 built in microphone preamps, 8 analogue inputs and outputs on DSUB, two insert points, a couple of high impedance outputs for reamping signals, ADAT io, SPDIFF, two sets of monitor outputs and twin headphone outputs. Comprehensive to say the least! On top of that, there's a full mixer with 8 dynamics processors and eqs, and a high quality reverb unit, with both Thunderbolt and USB.

Both units are shipping over the next month or so. We're expecting a high demand for these so it's worth getting in early!

One of the latest products to land in here is the new Resident Audio T2 audio interface.

It's a pretty crowded market, so what is it about this new one that you should be bothering with?  This new interface offers two line/instrument/microphone inputs with phantom power, a headphone output and monitor outputs and midi in and out all in a compact package- all pretty standard features for an interface of this size.

What makes it unique is the thunderbolt powering. With the Thunderbolt port on modern Macs and some PCs offering higher bandwidth, faster connections and more power than either USB or Firewire, if you're lucky enough to have these ports available on your laptop, you can have a truly portable solution for recording and producing on the move.
