Practical and functional

The Axino Synergy Core's cardioid polar pattern effectively suppresses unwanted sound sources from the sides, focusing mainly on the source directly in front. The intuitive onboard controls include a gain knob at the input, a headphone volume knob, and toggles for a low-cut filter and a -10dB pad. The low-cut filter is ideal for removing low-frequency rumble such as mechanical noises, while the pad accommodates high-SPL sources without distortion. The 3.5mm headphone jack supports zero-latency monitoring, ensuring seamless tracking and performance feedback. USB connectivity replaces the need for an external audio interface, while featuring an advanced AD/DA converter that supports resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, delivering exceptional clarity and detail.

Intuitive software interface

The Axino Synergy Core's software control hub, compatible with both macOS and Windows, provides comprehensive control over its features. Users can select from 18 classic microphone emulations, apply 10 real-time effects, and save customised presets to streamline their workflow. The Synergy Core FX Rack supports additional plugins available from Antelope's ever-expanding library, offering everything from reverb (AuraVerb) to vintage-style compressors and EQs. A built-in virtual mixer facilitates signal-flow management, featuring input metering at the inputs and outputs, muting, and routing options. This comprehensive interface allows users to achieve professional-quality results at the click of a mouse, whether they are working on podcasts, music recordings, or live streams.

For streamers and engineers

Designed for a wide range of applications, the Antelope Axino Synergy Core thrives in professional recording environments and live-streaming scenarios alike. Its ultra-low-latency monitoring (below 1ms) makes it a reliable tool for real-time feedback during performances. The integration of Antares Auto-Tune ensures pitch-perfect vocal recordings, while its USB compatibility allows easy use with conferencing platforms like Zoom, Skype, and OBS. Seasoned engineers will appreciate the microphone's ability to replicate the nuanced tonal characteristics of legendary studio microphones, paired with the Synergy Core effects' real-time processing capabilities. Streamers can also leverage the microphone's software to mix signals from multiple applications, such as media players or gaming audio, combining them into a single output for streaming or live broadcasting. This flexibility makes the Axino an indispensable tool for modern content creators.

About Antelope Audio

Antelope Audio is a manufacturer of professional audio equipment that was founded by developer Igor Levin, who invented the famous AardSync clock generator with which his then-company Aardvark made waves in the world of audio engineering at the end of the 20th century. In 2005, Igor Levin went – as he himself put it – back to his roots and continued to develop the AardSync concept. The result of this development work was the "Oven Clock", a word clock generator that is kept at a constant temperature of 64.5°C to provide increased stability and improve jitter performance. The newly founded Antelope Audio caused a similar splash in 2005 with its OCX Clock Generator. Today, Antelope Audio, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality audio interfaces and AD/DA converters and includes big names such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan among its users.

A versatile shapeshifter

The Antelope Axino Synergy Core stands out as a complete audio solution for recording and streaming. Its virtual patchbay simplifies the process of blending signals from various sources, offering users intuitive control over routing and mixing. Whether hosting a podcast, recording a music session, or managing a live stream, the Antelope Axino seamlessly adapts to the workflow. By combining advanced audio modelling, studio-grade conversion, and an intuitive software interface in a single package, this state-of-the-art USB microphone achieves professional results in a compact and portable format. From seasoned engineers to aspiring creators, the Axino Synergy Core opens new doors for creativity and precision in audio production.

Suena a otro nivel
gorkolas 16.07.2021
Esto suena a otro nivel. No me creo que me haya costado 400€…
Esto no es una sensación de estudio casero. La DSP interna, con un pelín de compresión y previo convierte esto en algo espectacular. Suena a nivel u87 o 414 y eso que acabo de empezar con las emulaciones.
Además, pesa un quintal, es sólido de narices

Schade, ich hätte es gerne behalten
nic-n 16.05.2022
Update: ich habe ein zweites erworben und behalten und nach einem Software-Update waren bei mir die unten beschriebenen Probleme behoben. Es war vermutlich kein Hardware-Problem. Bewertungen von "Sound" und "Gesamt" von 1 auf 3 Sterne erhöht. Trotzdem: mit Vorsicht zu genießen. Hier sind Software-Dilettanten am Werk.

__________
Ich wollte es für Sprachaufnahmen nutzen, nur leider ist es bereits ohne Simulation eines der schlechtesten Mikros hinsichtlich Sibilantenwiedergabe, das ich je getestet habe (und das waren um die 40 verschiedene). Sibilanten klingen undifferenziert und matschig und gleichzeitig scharf - das muss denen erstmal jemand nachmachen. Und die U87 Simulation klingt auch nicht wie ein gutes U87, sondern wie ein U87 Rückläufer mit einer matschigen Sibilantenwiedergabe. Alles andere an dem Produkt (mit Ausnahme der unglaublich lästigen und lange dauernden Softwareinstallation) fand ich top, eigentlich sogar ziemlich perfekt. Besonders gefallen hat mir die Möglichkeit des latenzfreien Monitorings und dass man man Presets dauerhaft ins Mikro laden kann, was die Bedienung stark vereinfacht. Vielleicht hat Antelope Schwierigkeiten, die Kapseln in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität herzustellen, vielleicht haben sie Probleme mit dem Qualitätsmanagement, aber vielleicht haben die auch einfach Probleme mit dem Hören. Das Townsend Lab Sphere ist jedenfalls 2 Klassen besser. Und das liegt ganz sicher nicht an den Kosten für die Kapsel, denn ein Rode NT-1 ist ebenfalls um 2 Klassen besser (und 10 der 40 getesteten Mikros sind das ebenfalls, z.B. das U87).
