2. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Goliath HD from Antelope
Audio.
Goliath HD is a 64-Channel interface that can be
used with Pro Tools HD or Native DAWs via second
generation Thunderbolt™, USB 3.0 or via 2 MADI
connections, which are compatible with MADI to
Dante Bridge products. Coming with extensive I/O
options, featuring 16 Accusonic mic preamps with
individual volume controls, 32 analog ins with 124dB
of Dynamic Range, 32 analog outs with 129dB of
Dynamic Range, plus mastering grade monitor
outputs, featuring new technology that boosts
dynamic range to a spectacular 132dB. Goliath HD
comes with 8 instrument inputs, 2 transformer re-amp
outs, integrated Talkback mic, 2 headphone outs and
a pair of analog inserts. And if this wasn’t enough,
the descendant of the mighty Goliath HD offers also
AES, MADI, ADAT and S/PDIF connectivity.
FPGA offers a whole new level of real time
performance and sonic excellence. The platform
is taking advantage of real hardware circuitry and
component modeling, allowing engineers to track a
vocalist with a zero latency headphone mix, including
reverb; record a guitar part with proper feel & tone,
using onboard amp and cabinet FX. Capturing a full
drum kit is also brought to another level with up to 16
mics using the industry’s best new Microphone and
Mic Preamp technology, all in realtime.
Needless to say Goliath HD is armed with the full
Antelope Audio arsenal of hardware-based FPGA
FX. These include the most authentic and realistic
zero latency Vintage EQs, Compressors and guitar
amp & cabinet models on the market. Use them for
real time tracking or mixing and easily save presets
with your favorite setups. Those can be easily
recalled or shared with other studio facilities, which
are also part of the global Antelope Audio family.
By offering both HD and USB 3.0 modes, engineers
can now accommodate producers and their laptop
projects and integrate them into their existing
HD setups by easily switching between HD and
our low latency Thunderbolt™ and new USB 3.0
modes. With Antelope’s proprietary HDX Delay
Compensation, any analog or digital input can arrive
in Pro Tools HD sample accurately in the timeline.
No other interface on the market offer this level of
perfect integration for digital sources to Pro Tools HD
software.
The Antelope Audio Real-time FX, zero latency
independent software mixers and routing matrix with
two alternative views are the perfect compliment to
Pro Tools HD studios, which have come to expect
maximum power at their disposal. Goliath HD,
however, is compatible with any DAW on the market
making the device the heart and soul of the highest
tier audio facilities around the world. Our newly
introduced full Session Presets are the perfect match
for the complex and large-scale setups and projects
Goliath HD was designed to handle.
Another reason why Goliath HD sounds like no other
interface on the market is because of the world-
renowned Antelope Audio Acoustically Focused
Clocking (AFC) jitter management technologies it
features. With over 20+ years of history in digital
clocking behind our backs, we backed the Goliath
HD up with all OCX HD and Trinity sounding audio
clocking. This unbeatable sonic detail and precision,
combined with analog authenticity will bring your
sound to the realms of hi-end audio. Now you can
also spread this perfection across your whole studio
as BNC connectors are available for use as Loop
Sync, standard Word Clock I/O and the Antelope
Audio 10M atomic input.
Goliath HD features a redesigned front panel.
With enhanced monitor and level indicators, the
responsive Touchscreen offers multichannel
metering, easy access to preferences, presets, and
clocking modes for HD or Native interfacing. And if
this wasn’t enough, the Goliath HD dedicated Android
& iOS compatible mobile app will allow you to turn
your smartphone or tablet into a powerful audio
interface remote control. Goliath HD guarantees
quiet operation even in the most demanding control
rooms. Don’t be surprised if soon expensive machine
rooms become a thing of the past.
