DESCRIPTION
THE SOUND YOU HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF
Flawless clocking and unique analog circuitry brings pro sound to a new level.
At Antelope Audio we love to say that best clock = best sound. So, it’s no surprise our acclaimed 4th Gen Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management algorithm is in charge of Goliath’s flawless clocking. The audio interface features the oven-controlled crystal oscillator you know from Antelope’s signature crystal-based master clocks. For optimum detail and sound stage, Goliath can be additionally synced to the extremely accurate Rubidium Atomic Clock – 10MX. It can be used as a master clock for two other devices via Word Clock Outs on BNC.
REALISTIC VINTAGE FX
Process multiple zero latency mixes and get crazy creative with Goliath’s custom hardware-based effects.
Goliath employs Antelope’s powerful FPGA-based DSP engine, a massive platform allowing you to process four zero latency mixers with custom effects. These include the stunning AuraVerb reverb and several modern and vintage hardware EQ and compressor models. Antelope’s new RealModel technology create the most accurate modeling to vividly recreate not only the true sound of classic analog gear but its behavior and feel as well. Stacks of effects can be combined in custom FX Chains and saved as Presets. Guitar players will surely fall in love with the Goliath, because all guitar amp and cabs simulations that come up with Goliad were developed in a partnership with leaders in guitar software Overloud Audio Tools.
MOST MIC/LINE CHANNELS
64 channels via Thunderbolt™ can be routed to a vast selection of digital and Analog I/O options, including MADI, AES, ADAT, and S/PDIF.
Goliath offers 36 Analog Inputs and 32 Analog Outputs with pristine AD/DA converters. These include 4 superb Instrument DI’s, 2 transformer Reamp Outs, 2 Headphone Outs with integrated Talkback on the front, and 16-Channels of Class-A Mic Preamps, 2 sets of Stereo Inserts and a pair of mastering grade Monitor Outs on the back. The DB25 connectors feature 24 Outputs (1-8 can be level controlled for Surround Sound Mixing) and 16 additional Line Inputs, making Goliath an attractive solution for Hardware Inserts and Summing. Even more Analog I/O Channels can be added by connecting Antelope’s Orion32 or Orion32+ via MADI for a total of 64 Channels of Analog I/O simultaneously.

TOUCH & CONTROL
Reinvent your studio experience with Goliath’s advanced control options.
All Goliath functions are accessible via its intuitive, high-resolution touch screeen. All features of the audio interface can be also accessed via the OS X and Windows compatible Software Control Panel. Just like all new breed Antelope Audio devices. the Goliath follows our networking control concept. This means you can now access all Goliath features from multiple computers in the same network. Android and iOS mobile apps are also available for convenient remote control, both for the producer and the recording artists.
All the control at your fingertips
Using our Windows or Mac OS X Control Panels, you have the Goliath under total control. As if that wasn’t enough, we also extend the possibility to control the Goliath through our Android or iPad apps, available at Google Play or App Store.

FAQ’s
The Goliath drivers are designed in a way that the unit locks to your DAW once it is started. That is the reason it displays “USB”. In this mode you can change settings from your DAW project (sample rate, buffer size etc.) and since the unit is locked, it will follow any change made in the project. In USB mode the unit still uses its own clock. When in this mode you cannot switch between different presets.
MIDI controllers cannot be used with the Goliath Control Panel.
