Console-grade preamps with Accusonic modeling
Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Interface’s eight console-grade preamps feature a fully discrete design consisting of six accurately matched transistors. These pres sound amazing and will complement any mic in your locker. That being said, Discrete 8 really shines with Antelope’s Edge and Verge mics, which work in concert with the interface’s built-in Accusonic modeling to emulate classic microphones and preamps in real-time. Experience an authentic blend of 10 different mic preamps, along with tube, transformer, and FET-based microphones, with no artifacts or latency. You can capture sources with and without Accusonic modeling, enabling you to choose between mic and preamp models while mixing.
Hardware-based emulations of classic processors
Antelope Audio’s Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology not only allows Discrete 8 near-zero latency performance, but it also powers its built-in FPGA FX, which are authentic digital re-creations of classic hardware processors. FPGA FX respond more like hardware compared to many other plug-ins, thanks to this powerful processing platform. Discrete 8’s included effects deliver spot-on emulations of vintage processors, but they’re just the beginning. Antelope’s engineers are continuously working on creating new models, and you’ll be able to add them for free as they become available.
