2. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Discrete 8 from Antelope Audio.
Discrete 8 was developed after an extensive research of legendary microphone preamp circuitry. The Antelope
Audio FPGA engine can transform its already expensive sounding Accusonic preamps into a plethora of classic
units real-time. The microphone source can be recorded with and without Accusonic modeling. This allows the
engineer to choose between preamp models during mixing.
Plug а guitar into one of the Hi-Z enabled inputs and sculpt your tone with the most iconic guitar amps and
cabinets. Add vintage compression, EQ and AuraVerb to hear a nished studio quality result with real-time
responsiveness. Perform and record either with FX or process later using the integrated guitar eects. The Discrete
8 ReAmp outputs will allow you to use any outboard gear and record the sound back in your DAW of choice.
Discrete 8 is designed as a professional clocking solution in its own right. It features Antelope’s 4th Generation 64-
bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology from highly acclaimed clock units like Trinity, OCX HD, LiveClock
and Pure2. Discrete 8 comes with a Word Clock (WC) Input that can de-jitter and distribute an external clock signal.
Two WC outputs allow you to distribute clock to your other digital gear and mic preamps in your setup connected
