Antelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen 4 Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Antelope Orion 32+ | Gen 4: Professional AD/DA for Large-Scale Audio Production

The Antelope Audio Orion 32+ | Gen 4 stands out as a flagship multichannel audio interface, purpose-built for high-resolution recording, mixing, and immersive audio projects. Representing Antelope’s newest generation, it sets the bar for audio conversion, clocking, and flexible I/O within a single 1U rack unit. Studios, broadcasters, and live sound engineers working in demanding environments value the vast connectivity, minimal latency, and uncompromising fidelity of this model.

Standout Features: Clocking Excellence and Immersive Monitoring

What sets the Orion 32+ | Gen 4 apart is Antelope’s 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking, which eliminates jitter, and built-in support for Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 monitoring with advanced speaker and room calibration. The interface integrates 32 DC-coupled analog I/O, 128-channel Thunderbolt 3/MADI connectivity, and a customizable software routing matrix. Activate immersive audio and surround/spatial mixing capabilities with an optional license or the Antelope MRC controller.

Massive I/O and Digital Flexibility

Engineers working on complex sessions find that simultaneous use of all analog and digital I/O ensures seamless integration with consoles, analog gear, and modular synths. Direct CV control for hardware instruments can be achieved via the DC-coupled outputs from your DAW.

• Analog I/O: 32 in / 32 out (DB25), 2x 1/4" TRS monitor out — manage large tracking or summing sessions with ease.
• Thunderbolt 3 / MADI: 128 in / 128 out at up to 192 kHz — ideal for studios needing massive channel counts and low-latency DAW integration.
• With ADAT and S/PDIF (8 in/out (ADAT), 2 in/out (S/PDIF)), compatibility with a wide range of digital studio devices is assured.

World-Class AD/DA Conversion and Clocking

Upgraded converters bring up to 130 dB dynamic range and extremely low THD+N to the Orion 32+ Gen 4. Precision is guaranteed by the 64-bit AFC clocking. When synchronizing complex setups, built-in word clock I/O and atomic clock input provide essential flexibility.

• Dynamic Range: Up to 130 dB (D/A) — offers ultra-clean monitoring and mixdowns.
• Clocking: 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking — provides stable, jitter-free sync across channels.
• Capture every nuance with up to 192 kHz / 24-bit sampling.

Advanced Software Control and Monitoring

Rapid preset recall, deep routing, and hands-on monitoring control are all enabled through the redesigned software panel. Immersive audio support (Atmos-ready) and room EQ upgrades are available, with hardware control possible via the Antelope MRC. DSP EQ is included on the first 16 analog outputs for in-box correction in surround setups.

• Streamline complex patching using the customizable software matrix for routing, mixing, monitoring, and recall functions.
• Monitor Control: Hardware volume knob and MRC compatibility — critical playback adjustments are always at hand.

Functional Specs and System Integration

This rackmountable (1U), 3.4 kg interface supports Windows 10+ and macOS 10.14+ via Thunderbolt or USB. All analog and digital I/O can be accessed simultaneously (max 128 channels over Thunderbolt, 32 via USB). The Orion 32+ Gen 4 is tailored for advanced studios requiring maximum I/O and reference-class conversion.
