The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core includes a bundle of 36 of Antelope's real-time effects, which model heralded audio hardware including preamps, channel strips, EQs, compressors, and more. Thanks to the interface's 12 DSP chips and two FPGA processors, you can easily access the effects for tracking and mixing, all with insensible latency and no burden on your computer's CPU.

The Pinnacle of Versatility for Professional Engineers

Occupying just 2 RU of rack space, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core empowers professional audio engineers with the extensive channel counts, pristine sonic performance, and onboard DSP to tackle any high-profile recording or mixing gig, all without having to deal with expansion modules or optional cards to interface with different host systems.

High-Fidelity Conversion

High-spec AD/DA converters provide low total harmonic distortion, impressive signal-to-noise ratio performance, and extremely high dynamic range for artifact-free recording sessions. The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core does not require external converters for monitoring because of the dedicated mastering-grade monitor converter, stereo 1/4" monitor outputs, and 1/4" headphone output. It facilitates audio reproduction with a wider soundstage for critical listening without coloration or signal degradation.

Industry-Leading Clocking Technology

Antelope's proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking and Jitter Management algorithm ensures the kind of audio quality that sets the legendary Isochrone Trinity master clock apart from the crowd. The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core delivers the same increased width, separation, and detail in your musical performances.

Dual Thunderbolt 3 Ports

Run 64 channels at 24-bit / 192 kHz over a single Thunderbolt cable (available separately). There are two Thunderbolt 3 ports for connection to your Mac/Windows computer, and the left port enables USB Type-C connection to a secondary computer for remote control purposes.

Dual Dante Ports

Access up to 64 channels at 24-bit / 48 kHz via the dual Dante ports. Dante is the number one audio-over-IP choice for installations, live events, production facilities, and any situation where large volumes of high-definition digital audio must be reliably transferred over long distances. Achieved using just an Ethernet port, Dante connection is preferred among other digital network standards, due to its easy configuration and variety of product support.

The configuration provides straightforward integration and reliable redundancy, with the secondary RJ-45 port serving as a backup 64-channel Dante route. Galaxy 64 Synergy Core allows extensive real-time backup and multilevel recording options throughout every production stage.

Four HDX Ports

The only interface to offer four HDX ports, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core provides a primary/secondary recording solution per card or a full array of 128 channels of recording split to two systems. Unlike traditional Pro Tools interfaces, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core's FPGA configuration allows this channel count to be maintained at high sample rates such as 192 kHz.

Analog I/O

Take advantage of 64 analog line-level inputs and 64 analog line-level outputs via space-saving DB25 connectors. Additionally, the interface offers 1/4" jacks for stereo monitor and headphone outputs, so you don't have to hook up a separate converter and amplifier for high-grade monitoring.

Digital I/O

Integrate other digital equipment, external converters, or audio interfaces through the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core's digital I/O-optical MADI (64 channels at 24-bit / 48 kHz), AES3 (two channels at 24-bit / 192 kHz), and S/PDIF (two channels at 24-bit / 192 kHz).

Intuitive Control Panel

Take charge of each aspect of the unit's functionalities with a convenient software Control Panel. It provides intuitive control of all settings, gain adjustments, real-time effects, metering, and presets. From the Control Panel you have immediate access to the flexible Routing Matrix and the low-latency internal mixers. Every Galaxy 64 Synergy Core feature works seamlessly once you establish your Control Panel workflow.

Front-Panel Touchscreen

The touchscreen functionality saves time and offers efficiency when immediate access to the Control Panel application is not there. The precise touch control facilitates fast and immediate access to metering, level controls, presets, and settings.

Remote Control and Standalone Operation

The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core allows interfacing to a second computer via USB Type-C for the purposes of remote control. This way, you can run dedicated live/recording and Control Panel setups without being tied to a single computer. Network control is also a possibility through a proprietary client/server system. With the interface, you also have the option to work without being connected to a computer.
