Antelope Discrete 8 Pro

Description

PURCHASED IN THE USA IN SEP/25 Opened only for testing!!! Everything works perfectly and includes the Pro version plugins!! Includes all factory accessories and a custom-made carrying case. SALE ONLY!!! The Discrete 8 Pro SC features Antelope Audio's latest software capabilities and enables studio owners, bands, and recording engineers to record with legendary sound quality. With ultra-fast Thunderbolt™ 3 and USB 2, ultra-low latency, and even more advanced effect processing features, this audio interface deserves the name of the model that first introduced Synergy Core technology. · High-fidelity A/D and D/A conversion with up to 130 dB of headroom for detailed sound during recording and audio playback, plus Antelope's 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology delivering an expansive stereo image with exceptional stage separation during audio playback. Recording and playback at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. · Eight discrete Class-A, 6-transistor console-level preamplifiers delivering maximum noise reduction and precise sound capture for transparent recordings. Combo connectors serve as both microphone and line inputs, with two supporting high impedance. · One 8-channel analog D-Sub 25 output, one pair of monitor outputs, two reamping outputs (TRS) which can also be used for an additional pair of monitors, two headphone outputs, and digital I/O: ADAT (16 channels) and S/PDIF (2 channels). All I/O can be used simultaneously in real time—a combination of up to 26 inputs and 32 outputs facilitating work across multiple sessions. · 37 Synergy Core effects: emulations of iconic studio gear such as compressors, EQs, preamplifiers, and dynamic processors. These can be applied in real time during monitoring, post-production, and live recording, processed with near-zero latency directly by the interface itself—removing this load from your computer. Up to 16 channel strips of effects—double that of the original Discrete 8 SC. You can expand your collection by purchasing additional analog modeling effects, such as the Liverpool by Grove Hill Audio, and third-party effects like Auto-Tune by Antares. · Two routing options are available: standard routing, allowing you to switch audio sources per channel via menu; and virtual patch-bay, enabling advanced input/output routing via drag-and-drop connections. Each analog or digital output, channel strip, or DAW track can receive any of the analog or digital inputs, effect returns, computer channels, or the four stereo mixes. · Talkback—Select any of the eight microphone inputs or the front-panel built-in microphone to send talkback to monitor and headphone outputs. The footswitch connection can control the dim function using a simple footswitch, or both dim and talkback functions using a dual footswitch. General Specifications · Built-in front-panel microphone for convenient talkback. · Effect processing: Antelope Synergy Core platform with 2 DSP chips and 1 FPGA chip. · Remote control of functions via another computer connected on the same network. · Power consumption: 25 Watts · Operating temperature: 0–50°C · Dimensions: 483 mm width × 44 mm height × 220 mm depth · Weight: 3 kg · Included in box: Discrete 8 Pro Synergy Core, external power supply, USB 2.0 Type A to Type B cable, quick-start guide.
