■14x20 Thunderbolt 3 & USB 2.0 Audio Interface with Onboard Real-time Effects
The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core builds on the legacy of Antelope Audio's Discrete series, elevating it with the latest generation of AD/DA converters and all-new software. With blazing-fast Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 connectivity, ultra-low latency, and improved effects processing, this audio interface is at the mercy of every portable setup and recording studio.

High-quality conversion and 64-bit AFC clocking technology faithfully reproduce the details of sound during recording and streaming playback, resulting in a spacious stereo image with a sense of separation.
Four combo XLR jacks with console-grade 6-transistor preamps are provided for professional recording. The combo jacks function as mic/line inputs, and the two front jacks support Hi-Z.
●It has four DC-coupled analog outputs (TRS), a stereo monitor output, four headphone outputs (TRS), and ADAT and S/PDIF inputs and outputs, and all I/O can be used simultaneously in real time.
The Synergy Core platform provides real-time processing with zero latency, modeling 37 analog outboard gear effects and over 60 additional options.
●Two types of routing are possible: standard routing, which switches the input source for each channel, and a virtual patch bay, which allows for extremely flexible input/output routing using drag and drop.

■Professional sound quality
AD/DA converters and clocking are the most important elements in digital recording, determining sound quality. The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core features the latest generation of converters (up to 130dB headroom) and Antelope Audio's exclusive 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology. With this interface, you'll experience a new level of detail in your recordings and appreciate the expansive stereo image.

■Transparent sound
Antelope Audio's discrete preamps are the result of extensive research into the best console preamps in the history of recording. They feature a six-transistor design that maximizes noise reduction and ensures accurate sound capture for pristine recordings.

■ Processing power that enables "creativity"
The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core's virtual patchbay streamlines the routing process, allowing any signal source to be routed to any output. Aside from intuitive routing, the software control panel also allows for the creation of presets and mixing via four fully independent internal mixers, each with 32 channels.
The increased processing power of the Synergy Core also means you can now apply effects to any input source. You can create multiple effect chains for the same source, overlay them on the mix, or send the processed sound directly to each performer via the four headphone outputs.

■Rich connectivity
The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core packs a wealth of connectivity into its design. It features four mic/line inputs, two Hi-Z inputs, four DC-coupled line outputs, one monitor output, four headphone outputs, and ADAT and S/PDIF inputs and outputs. For computer connectivity, it offers USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 ports. All I/O can be used simultaneously at all times.

■Bringing the best outboard gear to your studio
The Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core features 37 effects modeled after iconic studio gear and applied in real time. Tracking and recording offers direct monitoring through the interface with ultra-low latency. Analog-modeled compressors, EQs, and preamps are processed within the interface with near-zero latency, eliminating any load on your computer's CPU. The latest Synergy Core processing power allows you to run effects on up to 16 channel strips—four times more than the previous Discrete 4 Synergy Core.
You can also expand your collection at any time by purchasing third-party effects like Grove Hill's Liverpool or Antares' Auto-Tune.

■Features・Conversion & Clocking●Best-in-class AD/DA converter boasting a maximum headroom of 130dB.
