Antelope Audio Pure2 - 2-Channel Mastering Converter

Creating Premium Audio Easily

Antelope Audio’s Pure2 is a mastering grade 2-channel converter and master clock that builds off the successful model of the Eclipse 384. Delivering simply stunning audio via an A/D converter, D/A converter and a master clock featuring Antelopes signature Acoustically Focused Clocking technology, the Pure2 makes the world of mastering a process that anyone can attain in their own studio.

The Make Up Of Mastering

The conversion and AFC technology in the Pure2 is highly impactful and gives it a pristine sound. Additionally, the system also features masterful analog circuitry driven by a multi-stage power supply. Packed with Antelope Audio’s dual-DAC technology, with different chips for both the right and left channels, the Pure2 is able to gain exceptional imaging and separation. The system’s relay-based attenuator provides first-class transparency, which offers an exceptional audio experience when listening back on all types of monitors.

Clocking In: The Right Way

Featuring several Word Clock outputs, the Pure2 instantly adds an impressive master clock to your studio setup. Additionally, the system can be run with Antelope’s 10M Atomic Clock to provide your space with an even more stable method of clocking. With zero jitter and 100% accuracy, this combination of clocking will ensure that your projects have all the dynamic separation and clarity that you’ve always wanted.
