User Manual

● 2018 Mac mini or later
● 2017 iMac Pro or later
These machines have dual Thunderbolt™ 3 busses and support up to 12 devices per chain.
2. Each device must be powered on for subsequent devices to operate.
3. If a USB or DisplayPort device is plugged directly into the Type-C connector
downstream from any device, the Thunderbolt™ daisy chain is terminated at that point.
4. As Thunderbolt™ bandwidth is shared between daisy chained devices, the available
bandwidth for each device inevitably decreases. Therefore, Antelope Audio cannot
guarantee optimal performance in each and every daisy chain configuration possible.
Device Charging
Galaxy 32 Synergy Core is able to power any device with USB and/or Thunderbolt™ Type-
C connectors from its Thunderbolt™ 3 port. For example, you can power a laptop (e.g.
2016 MacBook Pro or later).
Backwards Compatibility
Thunderbolt™ 3 is backwards-compatible with legacy Thunderbolt™ 2 and Thunderbolt™ 1
connections using third-party adapters and corresponding cables. Given all the technical
variables involved, we cannot provide singular instructions for legacy compatibility in this
manual. Please get in touch with Customer Support if you need help setting up.
