- Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a 14x10 USB-C audio interface with two professional microphone preamps providing up to 65 dB of gain and phantom power. The proprietary AFCTM (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology ensures the best transients and stereo imaging with unmatched depth and detail.
Features:
- 14x10 USB-C audio interface
- ADAT support for expanding inputs/outputs
- Best-in-class AD/DA converters with a gain ratio of up to 130 dB
- Two microphone preamps with 65 dB of gain and phantom power
- 64-bit AFC synchronization
- Built-in loopback function for streaming
- Support for up to 192 kHz/24-bit AD/DA conversion
- 37 proprietary modeled analog effects
- Can be powered via USB or Thunderbolt cable
The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is equipped with the same 24-bit 192 kHz conversion processors as the renowned Galaxy series interface. This means you get up to 130 dB of dynamic range and 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Time).
Furthermore, the input stage features four console-grade microphone preamps with a 6-transistor design. They provide 75 dB of discrete gain, ideal for powering low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones.
The Synergy Core engine combines Antelope DSP and FPGA chips to deliver the lowest latency processing. Moreover, the Zen Quadro comes with a collection of 37 legendary compressors, equalizers, guitar amps, and more.
Synergy Core: Real-time DSP and FPGA processing magic
Synergy Core merges DSP and FPGA chips to model each individual component of legendary analog equipment. This ensures sound and behavior practically indistinguishable from the real thing, with nearly zero latency and no load on your computer's CPU.
With the Zen Quadro, you can start recording instantly with 37 legendary compressors, equalizers, guitar amps, cabinets, modulation effects, and more that can be applied in real-time during recording, streaming, or live performances.
Up to 48 mono effect instances can be loaded onto 6 input paths simultaneously, allowing for complex setups in multiple racks on your desktop.
Two USB Inputs
The most exciting feature of the new Zen Quadro is its functionality with two USB inputs. This allows for simultaneous connection of two laptops or mobile devices, perfect for live performances or podcasting workflows. The audio interface provides easy access to direct routing and mixer settings via the color display, preset recall, and full standalone functionality. Synergy Core processing, ADAT expansion, flexible loopback - these are just some of the features packed into this portable unit.
The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core can operate in standalone mode. This means you can use the Synergy Core system and analog input-output as an effects processor and signal router.
