Discrete 8 Pro

Synergy Core

The key to transparent recordings

D8P 02 1

Antelope Audio’s discrete preamps topology is a descendant of the great console preamps of the time. Designed using a combination of transistors, the Discrete preamps result in maximum noise reduction and, most importantly, precise sound capture for transparent recordings.

Under the hood

In parts

The Discrete 8 Pro is a 26×32 interface with eight console-grade preamps, eight line-level inputs for outboard gear, reamp outputs, ADAT, and S/PDIF I/O. All this connectivity is controlled by an easy-to-use, flexible virtual patch bay that allows for creative routing.

Monitoring is handled by a dedicated stereo monitor output and two stereo headphone outputs. These can be loaded with effects for real-time monitoring with added processing.

More than just a preamp

130 dB Chip in color
High tech body with a classic soul

The Discrete 8 Pro Synergy Core employs the latest generation AD/DA converters that go up to 130 dB of headroom, but this is just the start. With its discrete six-transistor design (based on circuits found in classic recording consoles), Class A preamps provide a crystal-clear picture. It falls into place with the 64-bit AFC clocking technology that makes the soundstage feel wider and more spacious.
