Antelope Audio’s Orion32 Interface to Demonstrate New Features and Upgraded Capabilities at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt
Santa Monica, CA, April 3, 2013 – Antelope Audio’s Orion32 interface, the world’s first 32-channel AD/DA converter and audio master clock in a 1U rack, will be the company’s flagship at the upcoming Musikmesse in Frankfurt, April 10 – 13, 2013. Antelope team will demonstrate exclusively the new and upgraded features of the audio interface which had become a best-seller in only 3 months after its launch, at Hall 5.1, Stand C74.
The mixer, elegantly integrated within the control panel, provides extremely low latency mix and monitoring that can be distributed using the control panel, allowing it to be routed from any output of the Orion32. For example one can drag all 32 USB play channels to the “mix channels” and then the MIX L/R inputs to DAC 1 and 2, providing a stereo bus mix to DAC channels 1 and 2. The Zero Latency Mixer provides the basic functions of a real mixer such as: Solo, Mute, Pan, Volume Level controlled by faders and a Master Fader, so one can easily make a stereo mix.

Aspectos críticos del diseño de convertidores A/D y D/A y relojes maestros en audio de alta gama
1
A continuación una entrevista con Igor Levin publicada por Audio Times en 2012. Igor responde a preguntas sobre algunos aspectos críticos del diseño de convertidores A/D y D/A y relojes maestros.
Independientemente de la frecuencia de muestreo, ¿cuáles son realmente los elementos importantes en el diseño exitoso de convertidores A/D y D/A?
Hace unos 20 años cuando monté mi primer convertidor D/A también tuve que crear un reloj para él. Por entonces, los relojes no eran algo que pudieras salir y comprar. Así que construí mi primer reloj para mi primer convertidor D/A. A la gente le gustó el convertidor, pero lo que realmente apreciaron fue el reloj. Fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de la importancia de una sincronización de referencia estable para el audio digital.
Aún sigo creyendo que una sincronización precisa es la base para una conversión correcta. De hecho según mejoran los chips y los circuitos que luchamos por superar decrecen, la importancia de una buena sincronización ha aflorado como nunca antes. Hoy diría que conlleva al menos el 75% del total del sonido. Por supuesto hay una lista de otros factores importantes como un diseño adecuado, fuente de corriente estable, control de volumen basado en analógico, etc.
El productor/mezclador/ingeniero once veces ganador del Grammy Rafa Sardina, confía en la tecnología de sincronización de Antelope Audio
Santa Mónica, California, 22 de Enero de 2013 – Rafa Sardina es uno de los productores/mezcladores/ingenieros más solicitados de los EE.UU. y a lo largo de su carrera se ha hecho con no menos de once premios Grammy por su trabajo con los artistas de más éxito del mundo (Lady Gaga, Beyonce y Shakira entre otros). Hace varios años, Sardina abrió su propio estudio comercial, “After Hours”, para proporcionar a sus clientes de élite un espacio creativamente inspirador donde pudieran tener acceso al mejor equipamiento del mundo, con el mismo Sardina al mando. Los relojes de Antelope Audio estaban entre los pilares fundamentales de la infraestructura técnica de “After Hours”.

Live Concert Applications of Antelope Audio Master Clocks
by Robert Dugan, Sound Engineer
Antelope Audio 10M & Trinity Combo during a Live Event with Robert Dugan
I‘ve personally used Antelope Audio in the Live Sound domain. At first, I was skeptical of how much clocking could really change the sound, especially since I was using a digital console. But after the unpacking and setting up, it was all ready to go within five minutes and, if I would have known how I was going to react, I would have prepared a little better.
Upon hearing Deftones “Digital Bath,” it seemed like the PA had come alive after sleeping for years. The drums were lifelike and it sounded like I was listening to the Deftones right in the rehearsal room. Immediately, I thought that the clock couldn’t be doing all of this, so I unplugged the BNC from console to Trinity. The sound seemed to escape and it reminded me of listening to the song through iPod headphones – thin and one road.
