This is by far, the best sounding and performing interface I have used to date. The new Antelope Orion Studio SC interface possesses astonishing sound quality and lifelike imaging that have not heard before. Surely you know the old cliche`s, I heard things I haven't before and I felt like I could reach out and touch...and so on. In this instance, every bit is true and more than you can imagine. Don't let the complexity of this interface put you off, it is complex, but once you get a handle on it, you will be impressed. It is truly powerful and its flexibility is second to none in my opinion. The potential configurations are almost endless. When comparing this interface to others, I would feel it's like comparing a Cessna 172 to a Boeing 747. Windows setup is incredibly simple. If you want world class professional mixes that challenge the top echelon of mix engineers then I strongly suggest you investigate the Antelope Audio Orion Studio SC. Prepare to be amazed.

This piece of hardware has a bunch of great features that you get on top of just a great sounding interface. The converters sound fantastic and the d-sub 16 outs work perfectly with my summing mixer (SSL X-Desk). The guitar/instrument inputs and re-amp outs are very convenient. Getting 12 great sounding mic preamps (fantastic for tracking drums) combined with the quality of the converters, for this price made this thing a “no-brainer” purchase and I have not regretted it. Also, the plugins that come with it are extremely useful and kind of icing on the cake! I had a little bit of trouble setting them up (be prepared to pay $195 to buy the AFX2DAW in order to get the plugins working inside your DAW) but I got great help from their customer service, another sign of a great company - thanks Antelope!

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
