Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core
Antelope Discrete 8 PRO Synergy Core: USB and Thunderbolt 3 interface with 8 microphone preamps and DSP and FPGA processing.
New PRO Version much more flexible and with improvements in software, sound and the following new features:
- Effects processor channels: PRO version = 16 // Discrete 8 SC = 8
- Control Panel: PRO Version = Virtual Patch Bay + Simplified Panel // Discrete 8 SC = Simplified Panel.
- Thunderbolt version: PRO version = Thunderbolt 3 // Discrete 8 SC = Thunderbolt 2
- AD dynamic range: PRO version = 122dB // Discrete 8 SC = 121dB
- Front Display Meter: Pro version = Adaptable according to source // Discrete 8 SC = Fixed 16 x 16
- USB and Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with 8 microphone preamps and DSP and FPGA processing.
- 36 FPGA FX effects included: You can check them here

What is Synergy Core technology?
Synergy Core is a new workflow in Effects processing, combining the power and speed of the FPGA chip with the flexibility and easier software development of DSP chips.
By leveraging the technical advantages of both types of chips, both the raw computational power and the diversity of content available on the platform are greatly increased.
The DSP chips make it possible to add external plug-in manufacturers to the Synergy Core platform and incorporate industry-standard effects into our system.
The synergy of both technologies is realized in a single user experience, without us seeing which effects are processed in FPGA and which effects are processed in DSP, unloading in both cases the CPU of our computer from these processes.
