ORION STUDIO GOES HD
Orion Studio HD with HDX & USB 3.0 connectivity, massive Real-Time FPGA FX library and high-end clocking and conversion. Orion Studio HD is the newest star in an already established line of top audio interfaces. Now with HDX connectivity it's a preferred choice for the higher level Pro Tools setups. With extended analog I/O, 12 Class A Mic Pres and enhanced conversion, Orion Studio HD can fit any DAW workflow and recording and producing environment thanks to a fast speed USB 3.0 port.
Antelope Audio's latest audio interface comes fully equipped with their full library of Real-Time FPGA FX. Not only is that vast array of EQs, compressors, guitar amps and cabinets plus AuraVerb reverb coming to you for free, but also features authentic models of legendary units from BAE, Grove Hill, Gyraf Audio, Lang and more.
FPGA POWER
They key to authentic FX modeling and zero latency audio processing is Antelope Audio's FPGA technology. Orion Studio HD features an extremely powerful Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip. This Antelope Audio pioneered technology provides the unit with massive modeling capabilities. In other words, the FPGA is the reason why you'll be able to use over 40 Real-Time FX models of legendary EQs, compressors, guitar amps & cabs.
Those not only behave and sound as authentic as the real hardware that inspired us to recreate them in the FPGA domain, but are guaranteed to be easily applied when recording, mixing and mastering music. Another feature you'll love and owed to the FPGA is the lowest latency possible. This allows you to create up to four independent, zero latency mixes. Those can be easily assigned to any output including the main mastering grade outs of Orion Studio HD and its two dedicated headphone outs.
ANTELOPE QUALITY CLOCKING & CONVERSION
Perfect sound still means flawless clocking. Orion Studio HD is using the AD converters from Orion Studio Rev. 2017, which are allowing dynamic range boosted to 124 dB. The audio world's favorite clocking accuracy is also a part of Orion Studio HD package as well. Powered by acclaimed 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management technology, it's a guarantee for incomparable stability, sonic accuracy and audio detail. We're talking high-end pro studio language here, so expect OCX HD and Trinity style clocking perfection.
ENVIABLE CONNECTIVITY
Record a full band, mix and produce with Orion Studio HD. Beside connectable via the Pro Tools friendly HDX port, Orion Studio HD offers USB 3.0 connection, making the device compatible with any DAW in business. The interface comes with a plethorа of analog and digital I/O options including 12 high-end mic pres, a pair of mastering grade monitor outs, 16 analog outs, 2 transformer preamp outputs, plus 8 channels I/O via ADAT and 2 channels I/O on S/PDIF.
FLEXIBLE CONTROL
Access all Orion Studio HD features intuitive mobile and desktop apps. Like everything Antelope Audio, Orion Studio HD allows for fast device control via multiple computers via OS & Windows compatible desktop app. Functionality highlights include switching between two routing matrix view modes and Full Session Saving functionality. Yes, Orion Studio HD allows you to quickly save, load and share any routing, monitoring, and FX settings. These presets can be then easily exchanged between studio facilities, which are part of the global Antelope Audio family.
Control and use as many Orion Studio HD devices as you want via the S/N selector inside the software control panel or open multiple panels on the same computer. Orion Studio HD is suitable for large studio facilities and offers flexible device management from various access points. Want even greater freedom? An iOS / Android mobile app gives you full mic pres control from a smartphone or tablet.

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.
