Antelope Audio - Galaxy 64 Synergy Core

The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core was designed by Antelope to be the nerve center of creative, post-production or broadcast studios that are demanding in terms of inputs and outputs. With its DANTE, HDX, MADI, AES/EBU, WordClock and Thunderbolt 3 ports, it is equipped with the standards that professionals use the most when working in configurations that require numerous channels, both analog and digital.

The Galaxy 64 Synergy Core's RJ-45 ports each carry 64 channels of 24-bit/192kHz audio. The second port is a redundancy of the first, essential for applications that require a backup stream (live, broadcast).

With its four HDX ports, the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core alone provides 128 channels to your Pro Tools Ultimate. Each being a primary port, they allow connection to two HDX cards simultaneously for a primary/secondary recording setup or up to 128 channels ready to interface across multiple Pro Tools sessions via multiple computers. What's particularly impressive about Antelope's proprietary FPGA configuration is that it can maintain this number of channels at high sample rates such as 192 kHz.

Dual Thunderbolt™ 3 ports and custom drivers for Windows and macOS ensure optimal cross-platform operation for the Galaxy 64 Synergy Core. Specially developed and tested to ensure low latency and stability at high sample rates, the Antelope Thunderbolt™ driver works in the background to transport 64 channels of 192kHz audio wherever you want – on PC and Mac based setups. all the market-leading STANs. The remaining Thunderbolt™ port allows a USB-C connection to a secondary computer for remote control purposes. This is the first Antelope Audio interface to feature two Thunderbolt™ 3 ports for daisy-chaining.

The Synergy Core real-time plugin processing platform uses 12 ARM DSP processors and 2x FPGAs in a configuration tailored to process dozens of input/output audio streams and hundreds of low-latency studio plugins in real time.
A single Galaxy 64 Synergy Core can handle large sessions with hundreds of plugin instances applied across 64 individual audio channels. Each channel strip can load up to 8 plugins at a time in a “virtual rack” format, functioning as a standalone plugin processor. This allows for 64 “virtual racks” at once, with different plugin chains active simultaneously including multiple instances of your favorite signal processors.
There's no other platform that lets you place so many legendary EQs, compressors, Auto-Tune™ and other studio processors across so many audio channels.
