German digital audio interface specialist RME celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Frankfurt Musikmesse 2016 show and launched several new products, including the Fireface UFX+, the company’s first Thunderbolt interface and its new flagship recording solution. As RME highlighted, this Thunderbolt interface allows real PCI Express audio performance under Mac and Windows, with the lowest latency, lowest system overhead and lowest CPU load.

Antelope Audio was among the studio equipment companies with more interesting introductions at Musikmesse 2016. Among the new products is the most powerful, impressive sounding, and versatile audio interface: the Goliath. This new 2U interface delivers 64 channels of simultaneous I/O, leveraging Thunderbolt, MADI, USB connectivity options and exclusive FX modeling and custom effects.

With Thunderbolt compatibility, zero latency monitoring, proprietary DSP effects and mastering grade outputs, Orion32+ new audio interface builds on Antelope Audio’s previous Orion success while opening new possibilities. The new generation Orion32+ interface will be introduced at the 139th AES convention in New York.
