The Thunder | Core range of products cover a plethora of different pro audio application scenarios. While most of them could handle all of the below applications, each of them is particularly suited for specific applications.
But naturally, it all depends on your audio infrastructure and general setup so the below recommendations merely serve as inspiration for how you could integrate our products in your workflow.
MUSIC PRODUCTION
With AX32 and MTRX, we have served as the audio infrastructure backbone in many music production studios all over the world.
All recording studios are unique. Some have tons and tons of simultaneous recording channels for recording large bands and orchestras live, while others rely on recording layers upon layers and therefore have less input channels.
But in both cases, there may be a lot of insert points with outboard gear for mixing, and whatever the case, we have a solution that will fit your exact and personal needs.
LIVE SOUND
In live sound latency is a major factor. There are many points in a very complex plethora of various signal chains that ultimately have to not only co-exist but also complement each other.
There is no such thing as zero latency, but we’re exploiting ‘near-zero latency’ to the extreme. Our Thunder | Core audio interfaces provide 2 samples latency on the connection and a total of 9 samples in the digital interface, including EQ and summing within the unit.
Our solutions are equally fit for FOH as well as monitor mix and playback station tasks.
POST & FILM
Film and Post Production often demand the ability to monitor a wealth of channels and sources in a variety of output formats from mono to immersive.
With the complete freedom to route any input channel to any output – and even duplicate it to multiple simultaneous outputs – within the DADman control software, our solutions can be combined to fit any film and post need no matter how complex it may be.
IMMERSIVE AUDIO
With Dolby Atmos immersive sound quickly becoming one of the central audio formats of the future, you’d want to be ready to take on immersive projects and productions today.
And this is regardless of whether it’s for Dolby Atmos Music, streaming on e.g. Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon Music, or if it is object-based productions for cinema, television, Netflix and other video-streaming platforms, as they will adapt immersive audio in the near future.
LOCATION RECORDING
Some music producers and recording engineers multitrack at a remote location and then brings back the stems for mixing and mastering in the studio. So, also in the case of Location Recording, we have ideal solutions that will companion you in the field as well as back home in the studio.
MASTERING
Mastering is a perfect place for AX Center to excel. Naturally, a super-clean signal chain is critically important in mastering, and using our A/D and D/A stages ensures that you can trust every little detail you hear and every little tweak that you make when bridging the final gap between artist and audience.

HOUSE OF WORSHIP
House of Worship is often a crossover field that spans live sound, recording and sometimes even broadcast. Therefore, the audio infrastructure can easily become complex – a perfect scenario for routing with DADman between unites with a multitude of modular input and output configurations.
