Antelope audio Galaxy 64 Synergy Core

The Antelope Audio Galaxy 64 Synergy Core is a professional 2U rack-mountable audio interface designed to centralize modern studios, broadcast control rooms, high-end live setups, and post-production environments. It combines multichannel conversion, advanced routing, Dante, HDX, and Thunderbolt 3 integration, and Synergy Core real-time processing in a single chassis.

Built for large sessions, it delivers high-fidelity conversion with 124 dB of dynamic range in A/D, 128 dB in N/A, and up to 130 dB for mastering-quality monitoring. Acoustically Focused Clocking technology with 64-bit jitter management ensures excellent stability, accurate stereo imaging, and optimal channel separation.

Connectivity is one of its major strengths: two primary/secondary Dante ports for redundant audio networks, four HDX ports for up to 128 channels of 192 kHz I/O in Pro Tools Ultimate, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports for native operation on Mac or Windows with up to 64 channels at 192 kHz. These connections can be used simultaneously, allowing multiple systems to coexist within the same workflow.

The Synergy Core platform features 12 ARM DSP processors and two FPGAs to handle effects in real time with imperceptible latency, without impacting the computer's CPU. The interface comes with 36 real-time plugins and can load up to 256 instances across 64 virtual racks, with up to eight plugins per channel.

In terms of workflow, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core features a drag-and-drop digital routing matrix, eight internal 32-channel low-latency mixers, comprehensive presets for recalling routing, levels, and mixes, and a touchscreen interface for quick control in the studio, live, or control room.

To Knowledge
Interface designed for studios, broadcast control rooms, OB vans, high-end live sound, and post-production.
Ideal for Pro Tools HD/HDX environments, Dante networks, and large multichannel sessions.
The 36 included plugins can be supplemented with other compatible Synergy Core effects.
The 2U form factor requires adequate rack space but allows you to replace multiple pieces of equipment in a single unit.
