The Zen Tour Synergy Core desktop audio interface is all about making it easier for you to effortlessly enter the creative flow and make album-ready recordings. The high-fidelity conversion and sharp transient response of the interface is typically reserved for professional studios and the workflow possibilities are usually only achievable with complex setups.

With connectivity options rarely accessible in a unit of this size, you can cover the needs of your small band and connect all your external gear simultaneously. Set up your hybrid workflow by recording with signature Antelope AD/DA while processing the signal at near zero latency with analog-modeled effects emulating legendary studio gear down to the component level.

Use the effects during post-production by loading up to 112 instances simultaneously with all processing done entirely inside the audio interface. Increase your productivity by modifying your workflow and focus on one thing – making music!

The professional recording path is provided by 4 low-noise high-gain discrete ultra-linear preamps, high-spec AD/DA converters for artefact-free recording and signature clocking technology for increased width, separation and detail in your performances. Studio quality audio reproduction is guaranteed by a dedicated monitoring converter for critical listening with wider soundstage. The combination of Antelope clocking and DA monitoring converters with 130dB headroom, makes mixing and even mastering in your home studio possible.

Synergy Core is a proprietary onboard real-time effects processing platform uniting the power of DSP and FPGA processors. How does the technology work in your favor?

• Offloads all processing to the audio interface so next time you are faced with a heavy project you will not need to rely entirely on your host computer CPU & memory or any external DSP accelerators.

• Guarantees imperceptible latency while allowing direct monitoring of processed signal in real-time for the most enjoyable recording experience. Accomplished while reducing buffer size and improving your recording system’s stability.

Record and monitor clean signal or apply analog-modeled effects processed with imperceptible latency in real-time. This feature will help you find creative solutions faster and commit to your sound early in the process, thus speeding up your workflow and avoiding the need to ‘fix it in the mix’.

Route inputs to outputs easily with the comprehensive Routing Matrix! Eliminate the need for moving cables by re-routing all your audio through the software matrix and process your effects & DAW tracks via the on-board Synergy Core processing.

The 4 mixers are with 32 channels each for creating individual cue mixes and sub-mixes, allowing you to distribute headphone mixes for your musicians while applying pan, reverb, other effects and stereo link.

Combined with fast-access buttons to help you for a range of different metering across your ins, outs, mix and sub mixes along with monitoring, operation and headphone controls. Manage input and output gain via the rotary knob, without using the software panel.

The Zen Tour Synergy Core is an expandable interface that allows you to grow with your studio. Strech your channel count and eliminate the need to buy additional converters as you add more gear to your set-up.

Have the flexibility to reamp your guitar recordings via your favorite guitar amps, without the need for re-recording. Providing the correct impedance level, they also turn the signal from balanced to unbalanced as if it’s a real guitar output.

Upgrade your collection with effects modeled after legendary Danish mastering-grade compressors, American console equalizers, British solid state channel strips, and many more. Expand your arsenal of creative tools with our expandable effects library.

Built from the ground-up in cooperation with Antares, Auto -Tune Synergy adds live pitch correction to the Antelope Audio experience. Use the most iconic vocal effect in popular music during real-time recording, live performance or in your mix.

Taking advantage of high-speed Thunderbolt™, the afx2daw plug-in lets you use Synergy Core effects inside most popular DAWs, providing native workflow while keeping all the processing inside the interface.

afx2daw is available as a separate purchase from our software store, for macOS and Windows.

Pair the interface with a modeling mic to unlock the full potential of real-time vintage emulations. Processed by the on-board DSP acceleration, meaning you will be able to use them without latency during tracking and without any CPU load during mixing. Use while away from the interface to switch between mic models and adjust polar patterns on the go.

“An incredibly capable desktop centerpiece for a myriad of genres, enabling music makers to record and produce professionally, anywhere.”

“It gives you the power of all your rackmount audio interfaces in a nice, streamlined, portable enclosure.”
