For over a decade now the Orion 32 line of interfaces has been revolutionizing the world of professional audio recording and production. The latest revision of this iconic 1U studio centerpiece steps up the game by taking the best of its predecessors and adjusting it to the ever- growing needs and standards of the industry. Orion 32+ Gen4 incorporates the latest Antelope Audio tech, drastically boosting the unit’s potential.
Antelope Audio interfaces are globally renowned for their industry-leading conversion and clocking, and the new Orion 32 is, as always, at the forefront. Its AD/DA converters perform at up to 130dB dynamic range, ensuring Gen4’s leading position among high-end multichannel interfaces. The high-performing conversion is powered by the same proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology & jitter management algorithm, which over the years has proven irreplaceable for countless productions.
The Orion 32+ Gen4 offers double the Thunderbolt™ channel streaming and MADI connectivity compared to its predecessor. With 128 channels available, up to four units can be daisy-chained through a single computer connection, making it ideal for large recording sessions, live sound, complex post-production setups, and broadcast facilities. It is the preferred companion for large mixing consoles, hardware effects processing, analog summing boxes, reel-to-reel setups, hardware synthesizers, and more.
A complete Atmos-ready surround and immersive audio monitoring system is supported by the interface, compatible with over 23 audio formats from stereo to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. It offers precise speaker and room calibration tools as well as intuitive monitoring controls and fast preset recall functionality, designed to increase productivity. It is available as an optional upgrade for the Orion 32+ Gen4.
Orion 32+ Gen4 comes not only with an updated look and drastically boosted hardware but with a redesigned Software Control Panel for an even smoother workflow. It now features a powerful preset recall system complete with signal routing, level adjustments, mixer settings and monitoring controls, among others. A handy monitoring pop-out widget has been introduced for hands-on output level control and preset recall, featuring an always-on-top function. The unit’s signal routing matrix is now fully customizable with convenient patching and less complexity in mind.
Orion 32+ Gen4 is designed for quick and effortless integration in a variety of studio configurations – be that Thunderbolt or USB based. The interface is compatible with both Windows and macOS systems and is guaranteed to fit all possible applications – from recording, mixing, interfacing, and conversion to being used as an advanced patch bay or monitor controller. It is also your modular synth’s best friend with its DC Coupled I/O for sending CV signal from your DAW of choice straight to your hardware instruments.
