Antelope Audio has released the Goliath HD Thunderbolt/USB3.0/HDX Port/Madi pro audio interface.
Goliath HD features 64 channels of high-quality I/O and Accusonic mic preamps, becoming Antelope Audio’s professional interface flagship. It comes with a suite of hardware-based FPGA effects, providing hardware models of desirable vintage effects around with real-time performance to Pro Tools HD and Native DAW systems.
Compatible with both Mac and PC platforms via Thunderbolt or USB 3.0, the unit also has dual Madi connections for use with Madi-to-Dante Bridge products, while proprietary HDX Delay Compensation technology allows any analogue or digital input to arrive with sample accuracy. Users can operate Pro Tools HD and Native DAW set-ups simultaneously.
Sixty-four channels of I/O are housed in a 2U-high rack, with monitor and level indicators alongside a responsive touchscreen. Also included are 16 of Antelope Audio’s all-new Accusonic mic preamps with individual push-and-turn-style volume controls. iOS and Android apps allow remote control of mic preamps and output levels.
Goliath HD’s 32 analogue inputs deliver 124dB of dynamic range while its 32 analogue outputs offer up to 129dB, and monitor outputs that reach of 132dB. With analogue connectivity through its mic preamps and multiple 25-pin D-Sub connectors, Goliath HD has several specialised inputs and outputs including four front panel guitar DI inputs (G1 through to G4), two transformer-based re-amp outputs (R1 and R2), an inbuilt talkback mic, and two headphone outs (HP1 and HP2), plus a pair of rear-mounted analogue inserts. In addition, the unit has clock signal distribution connectivity with AES/EBU, Madi, Adat, SPDIF, and BNC connectors (for loop sync or standard word clock usage). The 10M IN clock input allows it to connect to Antelope Audio’s acclaimed 10M Rubidium Atomic Clock or 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock.
There is access to Antelope Audio’s growing library of modelled vintage hardware and modern effects via its FPGA-based real-time technology. no physical rack space.
Goliath HD desktop application also facilitates full control of input and output routing, as well as submixes and effects processing. Thanks to Antelope Audio’s recently released Session Presets application, all of that functionality, including specific FPGA effects and HDX compensation settings, is recallable and shareable – serving Pro Tools HD-based studios with multiple rooms or artists working in several environments.
