Desktop Audio Interface
Antelope - Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core
Built to performThe Antelope Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core is designed for pristine recordings at home and in the studio. It features industry-leading sound quality achieved by Antelope's latest generation AD/DA converters and transparent preamps. This desktop-format audio interface is a result of a zero-compromise approach to hardware and the intuitive software control panel helps you streamline your sessions.
The Discrete 4 Pro allows connection between any signal source and any destination for turning any session scenario into reality. Every analogue or digital output, effect strip or DAW track can receive any of the analogue or digital inputs, effect returns, computer source channels or the four stereo mixes. All this flexibility is easily accessible using a drop-down menu on every channel or from the virtual patchbay screen, whatever you like!

Diverse Connectivity
your new go-toThe Discrete 4 Pro features rich connectivity in a small package. This can make it your go-to for a wide range of applications both in a home studio, and in a larger facility – voice overs, small band recordings, multi-synth setups and more. With both USB and Thunderbolt™ 3 connectivity, the interface achieves cutting-edge performance and easy integration with any setup.
uncompromising detailThe Discrete 4 Pro boasts industry-leading AD/DA converters, offering up to 130dB of dynamic range. The new converters are backed up by 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology – for even better transients, crystal-clear highs, and a stereo image with unmatched depth and detail.
inspired by legendsDesigned with a unique 6-transistor topology, these Discrete preamps are now synonymous with precise sound capture for most transparent recordings. This design is a product of an extensive study of the greatest console preamps in history and is a main in the Antelope Audio sound. The four Discrete preamps work wonders for any microphone and complement the Edge line of modeling microphones and their frequency response perfectly.
Stack Up Your Processing Chain
EFFECTS PROCESSINGSynergy Core transforms the Discrete 4 Pro into a studio with racks full of vintage effects, adding some distinctive character to your sound, in real-time. Running on a hybrid system of one FPGA and two DSP chips, you can monitor, record and mix using an ever-expanding library of low-latency processors, without strain on your computer.
up to 16 channel stripsWith the Discrete 4 Pro you can load effects on up to sixteen channel strips.
process any signal sourceYou can process any signal source – including all digital and analogue inputs and outputs.

Seamless Access
afx2dawafx2daw is a software bridge plugin that allows you to take advantage of the unique sound of the Synergy Core or FPGA effects of your Antelope Audio interface, all with the convenience of native plugins within your DAW.
All the processing is done inside your interface, so the afx2daw gives you the ability to mix and master with your favourite effects in real-time, with no complicated routing needed.
Make Every Session Better
4 onboard stereo mixersThese 32 channel input mixers allow direct ultra-low latency monitoring of any signal source. Adjust levels and panning, input the 16 effects processing channels and create mixes for any of the interface’s outputs, or use them for loopback during streaming.
4 Headphone outputsThe four independent headphone outputs let you send different mixes to every band member you are recording. This gives you flexibility in every session and is sure to make the artist happy.
Session recallTo save you from losing your progress, for every individual recording scenario, you can easily save session files and create exact snapshots of all your settings.
Word clock outputsTake advantage of the world-renowned Antelope clock signal and sync the rest of your digital hardware to your Discrete 4 Pro with two Word Clock outputs.
