“Satori” is the Japanese word for enlightenment; illumination; comprehension. Not only are these all desirable things if you’re a spiritual seeker, but they are also equally important when you’re attempting to divine the truth about the audio that you are creating, recording, mixing, editing, and mastering. This makes “Satori” the perfect name for the new mastering-grade monitor controller from Antelope Audio.

A single-rackspace unit that can be remote-controlled via USB using an app running on your computer, Satori offers eight balanced stereo inputs, four balanced monitor outputs, a subwoofer out, four independent stereo headphone outs, and three different options for talkback: built-in mic, external mic (there’s an input jack for one on the back of the unit), or USB mic from computer. You can choose to use stereo inputs 5–8 as an 8-channel stereo summing mixer if you like, and you can adjust each input’s and each output’s level +/-6dB to balance things out for accurate monitoring and comparisons. Speaking of accuracy, Satori features digitally controlled analog signal paths, with 0.5dB accuracy.

Extra features include monitor dim and mute, the ability to route talkback to any or all of the four headphone outs, independent source assignment to each headphone out, and unique mono functions that allow you to invert the polarity on either or both channels, reverse left/right channels, and monitor in mono either by summing or subtracting the two channels — making it easy to identify phase problems.

The functions you need to access are available from the front panel, or to dig deeper, just use the free remote-control app. You can even shrink the app window down to a compact floating window that always stays on top when you’re working in your DAW and gives you access to volume, mute, and talkback.

In short, Satori provides all the I/O and functionality you need for even the largest studio, with convenient control capabilities and absolutely stellar sound quality. To achieve audio enlightenment, look no further than Antelope Audio’s Satori!
