The Antelope Audio Orion32 HD is a versatile audio interfaceDefinition:
A device to convert audio signals into digital code suitable for use by a computer; typically communication occurs through a port such as USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire, etc. , which works like a charm with any DAWDefinition:
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation): A computer program or stand-alone device that provides digital audio recording, editing, and mixing. on the market. It enables you not only to stream an astounding 64 channels of audio when trackingDefinition:
1. Recording or overdubbing audio tracks. 2. Sensing the position of a person, a person's head, or camera position for Augmented and Virtual Reality purposes as well as motion tracking., but also allows for multiple monitor mixes. When monitoring, the sound is pleasing, combining transparent detail in a very natural way, like all things Antelope. IndependentDefinition:
A electrical circuit that is separate for lighting control, or a light board channel independent of other controls or programming. software mixers, integrated hardware-based FPGA vintage effects, it’s all there, with more connectivity options than ever.
The Orion32 HD is compatibleDefinition:
Capable of operating with a particular selection of hardware or software. with any DAW on the market via HDX port or USBDefinition:
(Universal Serial Bus) A standard, bi-directional serial connection between computers and peripheral devices. 3.0, this new Pro Tools HD and Native interface offers everything Antelope Audio stands for. Zero latencyDefinition:
The amount of delay a signal, data, sound, video, or control signal acquires within a device, system, or long-distance connection. Monitoring, I/ODefinition:
(Input/Output): 1. A pair of connections that provide input(s) and output(s). 2. The connections that link a computer to devices outside the computer. streamingDefinition:
A method of sending a continuous flow of digital content over IP (Internet Protocol) networks, and often, tailors itself to the user's receiving capability. of 64-channelDefinition:
1. In radio, television, citizen's band radio, and other wireless communications modes, a specific frequency for communication. 2. In mixers and video, an input or output signal path with controls. 3. In MIDI, one of 16 data paths. 192 kHzDefinition:
kHz (Kilohertz): 1,000 Hertz, or one thousand cycles per second. audio, Antelope’s industry-leading clockingDefinition:
The process of generating a master or common clock to which digital audio systems can synchronize., and pristine AD/DA conversion. Orion32 HD’s analogDefinition:
A signal that is continuous in nature, as opposed to being defined as a series of discrete numbers (or elements) as found in digital signals; electrically "analogous" to an acoustical signal in the air. I/O is handled by 8 DB25 connectors, accompanied by MADIDefinition:
MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface): Originally called AES10. A unidirectional (sender to receiver), digital audio interface that has common features with the AES3 stereo digital audio interface. MADI transmits up to 64 channels serially over fiber-optic or coaxial lines., ADATDefinition:
ADAT (Alesis Digital Audio Tape): An S-VHS-based, 8-track digital audio recording format, syncable with additional units to add tracks in groups of 8. and S/PDIFDefinition:
(Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) A protocol for a stereo digital audio connection, based on AES3, that uses coaxial cable or TOSlink optical cables. connectivity.
Orion32 HD features a fine selection of vintage FXDefinition:
FX (Effects): Abbreviation for "effects," e.g., "special FX" or "FX chain." powered by Antelope Audio’s innovative Field Programmable GateDefinition:
1. (noun) An infinite ratio expander that mutes sound below a set threshold. 2. (noun) An on/off signal typically generated by a keyboard controller. Pressing down a key turns on the gate signal; releasing the key turns it off. 3. (verb) To cut a signal rapidly in and out of a signal path. Array (FPGA) technology bringing modeling of legendary vintage gear to a whole new level.
