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, and it can also be used as a master clock for two other devices via Word Clock Outs on BNC.Process Multiple Zero Latency MixesGet crazy creative with Goliath’s custom hardware-based effects. Antelope’s RealModel technology recreates 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.All the guitar amp and cabs simulations were developed in a partnership with leaders in guitar software Overloud Audio Tools, ensuring guitar players will just love Goliath.64 Channels via Thunderbolt™ 64 channels of Thunderbolt audio can be routed to a vast selection of digital and Analog I/O options, including MADI, AES, ADAT, and S/PDIF.
