Description:
TEC Awardwinning Satori is a digitally-controlled true analog monitoring and summingsystem designed for today’s studios. Antelope’s Orion32 and Zen Studiointerfaces have both been praised for their digital clarity, while maintainingthe realism of analog sound. Satori features the same high level ofuncompromising sound quality thanks to advanced analog circuit design.
Now Satoricomes with a free mobile application available for iOS and Android mobiledevices. The intuitive app turns your smartphone or tablet into a professionalremote control for your monitoring system. It completely manages Satori’sentire functionality, giving the producer the comfort of having fast and easymonitoring control at their fingertips. Antelope's flexible softwarearchitecture allows you to have multiple mobile devices connected to the sameSatori. This provides artists the opportunity to control the volume levels ontheir headphones themselves, while the engineer retains the control of themonitoring functions from the control room or even the play room whilesetting-up.
Mastering-gradetransparency
Satoriprovides a monitoring solution that maintains sonic accuracy while routing andswitching between source material, especially when the D/A is handled by theclear and natural-sounding Antelope family of converters. Antelope Audio’sextensive background in designing pristine analog circuitry, highly optimizedPCB layout and power supply technology result in mastering-grade transparencyat a project studio price.
Innovativeattenuator architecture with utmost precision
Whereasrelay attenuators, being mechanical switches, provide the best sound quality,they suffer from popping or zippering artifacts when the volume is adjusted.Satori employs an innovative, patent-pending technology that dramaticallyreduces these artifacts while retaining all the advantages and excellent sonicperformance of the relay attenuators. The greatest advantage of using relays isthat they achieve 0.05 dB stereo accuracy and stable L/R balance even at lowerlistening levels. Satori also boast .5dbincrements of source and output trim offset control. This pristine, passiveattenuator signal path fully preserves audio signal integrity while revealingeven the most subtle nuances.
Analogsound with with flexible remote control
Switchingand adjusting inputs and outputs, assigning headphone monitoring for theartists and even talkback, is now possible from anywhere in the studio. This isall achieved due to the Satori's elegant front panel, software control panel,ergonomic remote control and now a mobile application.
Flexibleand accurate control capabilities are made possible by Antelope’s nextgeneration of software control panel technology, which has opened the door to awhole new generation of analog devices, such as the Satori Monitoring Systemand MP32 32-channel mic preamp. For Satori this means fast and responsivesource and speaker output switching, accurate remote volume control and alsoMute, Mono, Dim, Mid/Side monitoring.
Satori isbundled with a bus-powered remote control – R4S. The remote is specially designedfor Satori, completely replicating the front panel functionality. It providesengineers with ease and ergonomics, controlling Satori directly from the mixposition. R4S allows for lightning fast control of all sources and monitors, aswell as talkback.
Analogsumming functionality
In additionto providing outstanding monitoring capabilities, Satori includes a fullyanalog 8-channel summing mixer. Analog summing allows engineers who workcompletely “in-the-box” to mix signals in the analog domain for a more naturalblending of instruments. The summing mixer inside Satori maintains punch,headroom and excellent dynamics, while offering the analog sound usually foundonly from legendary analog consoles.
Headphoneamps and talkback
Surpassingmost monitoring controllers, which offer one or two headphone outs, Satorifeatures four independent headphone amps ready to provide several band memberstheir own, unique input feed with independent volume control. Satori’sheadphone drivers are audiophile-grade and are the same as those used inAntelope’s premium line of high-end home audio converters, able to drive bothlow and high impedance headphones.
A uniquesoftware talkback solution allows for instant communication with performers.Satori provides great flexibility by offering several kinds of talkback micsources – via the built-in mic on the front panel or R4S; the 1/4” TRSconnector on the rear panel or the built-in mic in the engineer’s laptop, andthe mic on your phone when using the Satori App.
Anabundant number of I/Os
Satoriprovides a generous amount of connectivity options. No other 1U monitoringsystem has eight stereo inputs and four stereo outputs and features such acomprehensive choice of connections: XLR, 1/4” TRS and D-Sub 25. Satori alsoboasts a subwoofer output and four 1/4” independent headphone outs.
