With enhanced intuitive control via an upgraded R4S remote, Satori Gen 2 ensures effortless switching and flawless signal integrity, making it the ultimate studio companion.

Redesigned and improved

The new Satori Gen 2 features a redesigned visual aesthetic, bringing a sleek and modern look that fits seamlessly into any studio setup. In addition to the updated design, Satori now comes with improved stepped volume control, with smaller 0.25 dB increments. This enhancement ensures even more precise control, providing exceptional accuracy in achieving the perfect volume balance without compromising sonic integrity. Additionally, multiple outputs can now work simultaneously.  

Mastering-Grade transparency

Satori Gen 2 provides neutral signal path, effortlessly switching and routing between sources while maintaining the clarity of analog sound. With Antelope Audio’s expertise in designing pristine analog circuits and optimizing power supply technology, Satori 2 achieves mastering-grade transparency, making it perfect for both professional and project studios.  

Innovative attenuator architecture

The new Satori employs our innovative technology to further reduce popping or zippering artifacts when adjusting volume, enhancing your listening experience. The attenuator now offers 0.25 dB precision, allowing engineers to achieve exact stereo accuracy and balanced L/R channels even at lower listening levels. This fine-tuned attenuator signal path preserves audio signal integrity and ensures all the subtle nuances of the sound are fully realized.  

Flexible and intuitive control

Satori Gen 2 includes an enhanced R4S remote control with color display for additional workflow improvements as well as refreshed software control panel. Users can switch inputs, adjust outputs, assign headphone monitoring, and engage talkback from anywhere in the studio.  

Enhanced analog summing

Satori Gen 2 retains the fully analog 4-channel summing mixer found in its predecessor, but with enabled volume controls for each individual input. The analog summing functionality allows engineers working in-the-box to experience a more natural blend of instruments and dynamics, akin to mixing on a classic analog console. Satori 2 maintains the punch, headroom, and natural sound that engineers love.  

Crystal-clean headphone amplifiers and talkback

The four independent audiophile-grade headphone amplifiers offer band members the ability to monitor with independent volume control, ensuring everyone hears what they need. With various talkback options included, performers and engineers can communicate easily, using either built-in or external microphones.  

All the connectivity you will ever need

With eight stereo inputs, four stereo outputs, a dedicated subwoofer output, and four independent headphone outs, Satori Gen 2 offers an abundance of connectivity options to cover all your studio needs. Connector options include XLR, TRS, and D-Sub 25, ensuring compatibility with a variety of studio setups.
