Antelope Audio Galaxy 64 Synergy Core Thunderbolt 3 & Dante Audio Interface

The Antelope Audio Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a professional studio interface and audio conversion system designed for demanding recording, broadcast, live sound and post production environments. Combining 64 channels of premium analogue I/O within a compact 2U rack format, it serves as a complete studio hub while eliminating the need for additional expansion units and external converters. With simultaneous Thunderbolt 3, Dante, HDX, MADI, AES/EBU and S/PDIF connectivity, the Galaxy 64 provides exceptional flexibility for complex workflows across multiple systems and applications.

Engineered for uncompromising audio quality, the interface features advanced AD/DA conversion with extremely low distortion and outstanding dynamic range. Antelope Audio's renowned 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking and Jitter Management technology ensures precise stereo imaging, clarity and detail across every recording and playback session. The dedicated monitor outputs deliver mastering-grade performance for critical listening applications.

At the heart of the system is the Synergy Core processing platform, powered by 12 ARM DSP processors and 2 FPGA processors. This enables real-time monitoring and processing with up to eight effects per channel while placing no load on your computer. Supplied with 36 premium audio effects inspired by sought-after analogue equipment, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core provides a complete recording and mixing solution for modern professional facilities.

• 64 Channel Studio Hub - Combines 64 channels of analogue I/O, premium conversion and comprehensive digital connectivity within a compact 2U rackmount design.
• Simultaneous Multi-Platform Connectivity - Operate Dante, HDX, Thunderbolt 3, MADI, AES/EBU and S/PDIF connections simultaneously across multiple systems and workflows.
• Synergy Core Real Time Processing - Utilises dedicated DSP and FPGA processing to run low-latency effects directly from the interface without taxing computer resources.

Advanced Connectivity and Routing:

The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is designed to integrate seamlessly into complex professional audio environments. Dual Dante ports provide reliable audio over IP networking with support for redundancy, while four HDX ports deliver up to 128 channels for Pro Tools systems, even at sample rates up to 192kHz. Dual Thunderbolt 3 connectivity offers low-latency performance on both Windows and macOS platforms and supports daisy chaining for expanded setups. Additional MADI, AES/EBU and S/PDIF connections ensure compatibility with a wide range of studio and broadcast equipment. Advanced routing capabilities allow multiple digital formats to operate simultaneously, creating a highly flexible workflow centre for recording, mixing and live production applications.

Premium Audio Performance:

Built around high specification AD/DA conversion, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core delivers exceptional transparency and sonic accuracy. The analogue inputs provide a dynamic range of up to 124dB, while the outputs achieve up to 128dB dynamic range with extremely low distortion figures. A dedicated monitor converter offers mastering-grade monitoring performance, enabling precise evaluation of recordings without additional external hardware. Antelope Audio's fourth-generation Acoustically Focused Clocking and 64-bit Jitter Management technology maintains timing accuracy and stereo precision, helping preserve detail, depth and separation throughout the signal path. The result is dependable audio quality suitable for critical professional recording and monitoring environments.

Synergy Core Processing Platform:

The integrated Synergy Core platform combines 12 ARM DSP processors and 2 FPGA processors to provide extensive real-time audio processing. Users can run multiple plugin chains across all 64 channels with up to eight effects available per channel. This architecture enables low-latency monitoring and recording with effects while keeping host computer resources available for other production tasks. Included with the interface is a collection of 36 professional audio effects, including equalisers, compressors, limiters, channel strips, modulation effects, de-essing and reverb. Inspired by classic studio hardware, these processors provide versatile tools for tracking, mixing and live sound reinforcement directly within the Galaxy 64 environment.
