Ground Loop Hum and Noise
The design of Orion Studio minimizes the possibility of ground loop hum and noise. However, we
recommend the use of shorter, shielded cables and balanced connections for all the audio signals
of your system. All power cables of the system should be connected to a dedicated outlet box
or power conditioner unit to avoid ground current noise affecting the audio signal path. It is also
advisable to keep the layout of your signal and power cables separate.

10. Troubleshooting
Start up and Sound:
● Are you running the latest control panel and rmware?
If not, please update your control panel and rmware.
● Are you correctly routing the audio signal via the routing panel?
For Thunderbolt
TM
or USB playback, route the Thunderbolt
TM
or USB-play channels to
the Line Out channels by dragging and dropping from the top section to the bottom. For
more info on routing see the “Orion Studio - Routing with ease” video from the Antelope
Audio You Tube page.
● Have you set the correct sample rates matching your DAW with your computer’s sound
and the Orion Studio?
On Mac, rst check that the sample rate is correct in the audio midi set up, then proceed
to check in the DAW before nally checking the Orion Studio sample rate.
For Windows, rst check in play back devices, right click on the Orion Studio then click
properties before then moving to the advanced tab. Then repeat the above by checking
the DAW’s sample as well as the Orion Studio.
