Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core Portable 14x10 Dual USB-C Audio Interface

With the Zen Quadro Synergy Core Portable 14x10 Dual USB-C Audio Interface, you can experience the pinnacle of modern audio technology in a compact, portable form. This bus-powered audio interface boasts 14-in/10-out connectivity, Discrete preamps, and class-leading converters, all enhanced by real-time DSP+FPGA effects. The Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a game-changer for creators, musicians, and streamers alike, integrating top-tier components from Antelope Audio's flagship Galaxy range. Its console-grade Discrete preamps with 75dB gain deliver the same high-quality sound that the world's top recording studios enjoy. The interface's revolutionary dual-USB design allows simultaneous playback and recording on two systems, offering unparalleled flexibility for your production setup.

Its AD/DA converters, boasting up to 130dB dynamic range at 24-bit/192 kHz, outperform competitors at several times the cost. The Zen Quadro's four Discrete preamps, inspired by the British and American analog console designs of the eighties and nineties, offer maximum noise reduction and precise sound capture. With extremely low noise and up to 75dB of gain, this interface can handle even the quietest dynamic and ribbon mics. The Synergy Core technology combines DSP with FPGA chips to model each component of analog hardware, delivering sound and behavior that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

This technology allows for near-zero latency and zero strain on your computer's CPU. The Zen Quadro comes with 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps and cabs, modulation effects, and more, all of which can be applied in real-time during recording, streaming, or live performances. You can load up to 48 mono effect instances on 6 input chains simultaneously, putting the power of a complex multi-rack setup on your desktop. The Zen Quadro's dual USB-C ports unlock a new world of possibilities for creators. You can 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. The Zen Quadro Synergy Core Portable 14x10 Dual USB-C Audio Interface offers enhanced standalone functionality for live and touring. 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 interface offers flexible connectivity for your entire studio, with four mic/line inputs, two instrument inputs, ADAT input, and S/PDIF I/O.

You can record a total of up to 14 inputs simultaneously. The second headphone out has an independent mixer, so 2 people can listen to different cue mixes at the same time. The DC-coupled I/O can also send and receive control voltage (CV) signals, allowing the Zen Quadro to be part of a modular synth setup. In summary, the Zen Quadro Synergy Core Portable 14x10 Dual USB-C Audio Interface offers class-leading AD/DA conversion, proprietary 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology, and a host of workflow-enhancing features. It comes with a collection of 37 Synergy Core effects modeled after classic and rare analog outboard gear, and allows for real-time effects processing with near-zero latency.
