ALL YOUR HD SETUPS BELONG TO GOLIATH
64 channels of audio now via HDX & USB 3.0.
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.
LEAVE LATENCY BEHIND
Revolutionize your Pro Tools HD workflow.
With Antelope's proprietary HDX Delay Compensation, any analog or digital input can arrive in Pro Tools HD sample accurately in the timeline. No other interface on the market offer this level of perfect integration for digital sources to Pro Tools HD software.
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.
HD STUDIO CENTERPIECE
Work on complex projects and multiple DAWs with Goliath HD.
By offering both HD and USB3 modes, engineers can now accommodate producers and their laptop projects and integrate them into their existing HD setups by easily switching between HD and our low latency ThunderboltTM and new USB3 modes.
Goliath HD guarantees quiet operation even in the most demanding control rooms. Don't be surprised if soon expensive machine rooms become a thing of the past.
CLOCK IT LIKE IT'S HOT
The key to top sound is the Antelope Audio clocking.
Another reason why Goliath HD sounds like no other interface on the market is because of the world-renowned Antelope Audio Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management technologies it features. With over 20 years of history in digital clocking behind us, we backed the Goliath HD up with all OCX HD and Trinity sounding audio clocking.
This unbeatable sonic detail and precision, combined with analog authenticity will bring your sound to the realms of hi-end audio. Now you can also spread this perfection across your whole studio as BNC connectors are available for use as Loop Sync, standard Word Clock I/O and the Antelope Audio 10M atomic input.
ALL THE CONTROL YOU NEED
Goliath HD comes with a revised Touchscreen display and enhanced front panel. 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.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
