8. Advanced User Tips
Ground Loop Hum and Noise
The design of Orion32+ 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 firmware?
If not, please update your control panel and firmware.
●● Are you correctly routing the audio signal via the routing panel?
For ThunderboltTM or USB playback, route the ThunderboltTM 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 “Orion32 - 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 Orion32+?
On Mac, first check that the sample rate is correct in the audio midi set up, then proceed
to check in the DAW before finally checking the Orion32+ sample rate.
For Windows, first check in play back devices, right click on the Orion32+ then click
properties before then moving to the advanced tab. Then repeat the above by checking
the DAW’s sample as well as the Orion32+.
Connectivity:
If you believe there is no sound being received to an input or delivered from an output:
●● Check your source. Is there a signal being transmitted form the source?
●● Is your source in the correct sample rate for the Orion32+ to receive?
