Goliath HD by Antelope Audio is the world's most powerful Interface now Pro Tools HD & Native ready. Packed with real-time FPGA Vintage FX, the a 64-Channel interface offers extended connectivity including second gen Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and MADI.   Goliath HD is a 64-Channel interface that can be used with Pro Tools HD or Native DAWs via second generation ThunderboltTM, USB 3.0 or via 2 MADI connections, which are compatible with MADI to Dante Bridge products. Coming with extensive I/O options, featuring 16 Accusonic mic preamps with individual volume controls, 32 analog ins with 124dB of Dynamic Range, 32 analog outs with 129dB of Dynamic Range, plus mastering grade monitor outputs, featuring new technology that boosts dynamic range to a spectacular 132dB. Goliath HD comes with 8 instrument inputs, 2 transformer re-amp outs, integrated Talkback mic, 2 headphone outs and a pair of analog inserts. And if this wasn't enough, the descendant of the mighty Goliath offers also AES, MADI, ADAT and S/PDIF connectivity.    Goliath HD is armed with the full Antelope Audio arsenal of hardware-based FPGA FX. These inclued the most authentic and realistic zero latency Vintage EQs, Compressors and guitar amp & cabinet models on the market. Use them for real time tracking or mixing and easily save presets with your favorite setups. Those can be easily recalled or shared with other studio facilities, which are also part of the global Antelope Audio family.    The Antelope Audio Real-time FX, zero latency independent software mixers and routing matrix with two alternative views are the perfect compliment to Pro Tools HD studios, which have come to expect maximum power at their disposal. Goliath HD, however, is compatible with any DAW on the market making the device the heart and soul of the highest tier audio facilities around the world. Our newly introduced full Session Presets are the perfect match for the complex and large-scale setups and projects Goliath HD was designed to handle.   Goliath HD features a redesigned front panel. With enhanced monitor and level indicators, the responsive Touchscreen offers multichannel metering, easy access to preferences, presets, and clocking modes for HD or Native interfacing. And if this wasn't enough, the Goliath HD dedicated Android & iOS compatible mobile app will allow you to turn your smartphone or tablet into a powerful audio interface remote control.

Goliath is Antelope Audio's most powerful hybrid interface with 16 Mic Pres, an array of integrated hardware-based effects and extended connectivity options.   Antelope's extremely versatile pro audio interface Goliath is the result of more than 20 years of experience in digital audio, clocking and analog circuit design. Through custom Thunderbolt & USB plus MADI I/O it's housing a total of 36 analog ins and 32 analog outs, including 16 channels of Class-A Mic Preamps with our signature, crystal-clear AD/DA.   Thanks to a custom FPGA-based DSP engine Goliath can process up to four independent zero latency mixers and offers an impressive stack of integrated, hardware-based effects. Pro guitarists will surely fall in love with our collection of vintage and contemporary guitar amp and cabinets simulations. They will not only help you sculpture your dream guitar tone, but feel as real as any hardware gear. Goliath offers monitoring and tracking with our first reverb AuraVerb, Pultec EQ simulation and compression.   Our innovative concept for networking control allows you to manage the full functionality of the device from multiple OS X or Windows computers and iOS or Android mobile devices.    Antelope’s record setting Thunderbolt speed, combined with real-time FPGA mixers and AFX is powered by our world-renowned Acoustically Focused Clocking technology.    Goliath offers a new level of connectivity with its vast selection of digital and analog I/O options, incl. MADI, AES, ADAT and S/PDIF. The game-changing interface offers 2 Reamp Outs, 2 Headphone Outs, integrated Talkback button on the Front panel, 2 sets of Stereo Inserts and a pair of mastering grade Monitor Outs on the back. It's a piece of cake to add more analog I/O by connecting Antelope's Orion32 or Orion32+ via MADI, which will allow you to simultaneously stream 64 channels of Analog I/O.
