Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core Audio Interface

Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core Overview 14-in/10-out Dual USB-C bus-powered audio interface with discrete preamps, class-leading converters, and built-in real-time DSP FPGA effects The Zen Quadro pushes the boundaries of contemporary audio interface technology by incorporating high-end components into an inexpensive, portable bus-powered physical size. The Zen Quadro uses the AD/DA chips from Antelope Audio’s premium Galaxy line and console-grade Discrete preamps with 75dB gain to give producers of all types the same uncompromising sound quality as the world’s finest recording studios. Synergy Core’s real-time effect processing and enhanced standalone functionality are just a few of the additional features included, and the revolutionary dual-USB design allows for simultaneous playback and recording on two systems, making it a no-brainer for all aspiring producers, musicians, and streamers looking to power up their production setup. Antelope Zen Quadro Advantages  High-fidelity conversion with up to 130dB headroom, along with 64-bit AFC? The clocking technique enhances sound breadth, separation, and detail;  Four discrete, console-grade 6-transistor preamps for crystal-clear recordings.  Real-time Synergy Core processing allows for near-zero latency tracking, monitoring, and streaming using realistic digital recreations of iconic studio equipment.  Contains 37 effects modeled by old analog compressors, equalizers, guitar amplifiers, modulation effects, and more.  Dual-USB architecture with a secondary USB-C connector (OTG) allows for simultaneous playing and recording on two systems.  The huge color display provides complete independent capability, allowing quick access to routing and mixing settings, device control, and preset recall.  DC-coupled inputs and outputs to control synthesizers using control voltage (CV) signals. > Unparalleled AD/DA conversion and clocking Zen Quadro Synergy Core has cutting-edge converters with up to 130dB dynamic range at 24-bit/192 kHz, beating competitors at several times the price. When combined with Antelope Audio’s unique 64-bit AFC? Clocking technology, the interface gives you a new level of information in your recordings and a wider soundstage for an excellent stereo image in audio playback, allowing you to make the best selections for your mix. Crystal Clear Preamps The Zen Quadro’s four Discrete preamps have a 6-transistor architecture inspired by British and American analog console designs from the 1980s and 1990s. This results in maximum noise reduction and accurate sound recording. With exceptionally low noise and up to 75dB of gain, the Zen Quadro can handle even the quietest dynamic and ribbon microphones. Synergy Core: The Power of Real-Time DSP and FPGA Processing Antelope Audio developers used DSP and FPGA chips to mimic every component of analog gear. This results in sound and behavior that are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, with near-zero latency and no burden on your computer’s CPU. Zen Quadro includes 37 famous compressors, EQs, guitar amps and cabinets, modulation effects, and other features that can be used in real-time while recording, streaming, or performing live. Up to 48 mono effect instances may be loaded on six input chains at once, bringing the power of a sophisticated multi-rack setup to your desktop. You may always add more real-time effects to your collection, like as Antares’ Auto-Tune Synergy and Grove Hill’s Liverpool, which are available for purchase. Revolutionary Dual-USB Design The Zen Quadro’s twin USB-C connections open up a new world of possibilities for producers of all types. It’s like having two interfaces in one: you can flexibly route signals and make mixes between the two USB connections while using a Mac, PC, iOS (USB-C), or Android device simultaneously. The easy loopback makes it ideal for streaming, and the secondary connection charges your mobile device while the primary port powers the Zen Quadro. Enhanced stand-alone functionality for live and touring Take the studio on the road with a bus-powered USB-C connection and a tough metal casing. The complete independent operation allows you to readily access routing and mixing controls via the color display, as well as remember settings and real-time FX chains, making it perfect for live performances. The extra USB-C connector also enables collaboration between two live performances using two PCs on stage! Flexible connectivity for the whole studio Four mic/line inputs, two instrument inputs, an ADAT input, and S/PDIF I/O allow you to record up to 14 sources at the same time. In addition to the monitor outs, you receive a pair of line outs that may be used to connect a second set of speakers or for outboard processing. The second headphone out features an independent mixer, allowing two persons to listen to distinct cue mixes at the same time. The DC-coupled I/O may also send and receive control voltage (CV) signals, allowing the Zen Quadro to be integrated into a modular synth configuration.
