Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core Dual-USB Audio Interface

Welcome to the Zen Quadro Synergy Core – a revolutionary audio interface that stretches the limits of modern audio technology by implementing top-shelf components into an affordable price and portable form factor.

With console-grade Discrete preamps, best conversion we’ve ever had in a bus-powered interface, and revolutionary dual-USB design, it is a no-brainer for all budding producers, musicians, and streamers looking to take their setup to the next level.

Features

• Industry-leading sound quality
• Ultra-linear preamps with Discrete circuits
• Synergy Core FX processing with impercetible latency
• Standalone operation and Real-time FX processing for recording, streaming and live performance
• Dual-USB and loopback for easy streaming
• DC-couples inputs and outputs for controlling modular synths
• 130 dB dynamic range converters
• 75 dB gain console-grade preamps

Hear every detail with flagship conversion and clocking
For the first time ever in a bus-powered interface, we’ve implemented the highest quality converters with up to a whopping 130dB dynamic range – the same we use in our flagship Galaxy units.

Paired with our proprietary 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology, the Zen Quadro provides you with a new level of detail in your recordings and wider soundstage for an exceptional stereo image in audio playback – allowing you to make the best decisions for your mix.

Record with 4 crystal clear preamps
Inspired by the British and American analog console designs of the eighties and nineties, the 4 preamps are built with Discrete 6-transistor topology, offering maximum noise reduction and precise sound capture.

With extremely low noise and up to 75dB gain, you can power even your quietest dynamic and ribbon mics with no additional hardware.

Combining two interfaces in one unit
The Zen Quadro’s dual USB-C ports unlock a new world of possibilities for creators of all kinds. It’s like having two interfaces in one – freely route signals and create mixes between the two USB connections, using Mac, PC, iOS (USB-C) or Android devices together.

The convenient loopback makes it great for streaming, and the secondary port can charge your mobile device while the primary port provides power for the Zen Quadro.

Get ready for the big stage
Take the studio on the road with bus-powered USB-C connectivity alongside a durable metal enclosure.

With complete standalone operation, you can easily access routing and mixer controls through the color display, and recall settings and real-time FX chains, making it ideal for live performances.

The secondary USB-C port even allows collaboration between duo live acts that are using two computers on stage!

Synergy Core: The Magic of Real-time DSP and FPGA Processing
Synergy Core combines DSP with FPGA chips to model each and every individual component of legendary analog hardware. This ensures sound and behavior that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing—with near-zero latency, and zero strain on your computer’s CPU.

With the Zen Quadro you can instantly start recording through 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps and cabs, 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 on 6 input chains simultaneously, putting the power of a complex multi-rack setup on your desktop.
