From the Orion 32 to the Galaxy: High-End Continuity
A direct successor to the award-winning "Orion 32" series, the Galaxy 32 Synergy Core pushes the multichannel interface/converter concept further by unifying AD/DA conversion, Dante network, HDX, Thunderbolt 3, and MADI in 1U. It offers advanced immersive monitoring, AFC 64-bit clocking, and the Synergy Core effects engine to meet the demands of modern studios.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Designed for recording studios, film/TV post-production, video games, VR, and live installations, the Galaxy 32 SC targets engineers managing
large sessions and multiformat workflows. Its simultaneous I/O simplifies complex routing, multichannel broadcasting, and outboard round-trips without compromise.
Key Features for Modern Workflows
Immersive Monitoring and Calibration
Control setups up to 16 channels (9.1.6) with format presets and speaker alignment tools. Ideal for Atmos, immersive music, and artistic installations.
Unified Connectivity and Routing
The "virtual patch-bay" routing matrix offers drag-and-drop, color coding, effects sends, and preset memories to speed up complex project setups.
Conversion and Reference Clock
Transparent converters and AFC 64-bit clock deliver precise reproduction, wide soundstage, and exemplary pitch stability throughout the studio.
Synergy Core Power
Apply compressors, EQs, preamps, and creative processing during recording, live, or post-production without loading the host computer.
Large Sessions, Zero Friction
On HD/HDX platforms, maintain 64 I/O channels in Pro Tools up to 192 kHz. All I/O remain active continuously without additional cards.
