Unparalleled Sound
Zen Q Synergy Core combines the technology of tomorrow with the electronics of a traditional console. Antelope Audio’s signature sound quality comes from professional AD/DA conversion, ultra-linear discrete preamps, and 64-bit AFC™ clocking. Using the technologies at the heart of high-end interfaces like the Orion Studio and Galaxy 64 Synergy Core, sound engineers and artists can elevate the level of their home productions.
Synergy Core Effects to Fuel Your Creativity
The interface comes with 15 effects modeled on the analog of a studio full of the rarest gear. The Synergy Core platform provides access to EQs, dynamics processors, guitar amps, reverb, and more. Over 50 additional effects are available for purchase in the Antelope Audio Software Store.
Diverse I/O with Room to Grow
Zen Q features two XLR combo jacks, giving you the flexibility to choose between mic, line, and instrument inputs from our original discrete preamps. For added flexibility, the front panel adds two additional line or instrument inputs. For monitoring, there’s a stereo monitor output and a separate pair of line outputs for connecting additional speakers or external peripheral equipment. While both are equipped with a mastering-grade D/A converter, a separate converter is dedicated to the headphone outputs. If your needs evolve, your simple desktop setup can be transformed by using the ADAT and SPDIF digital inputs.
Fast and efficient workflow
Enjoy the benefits of a Thunderbolt 3 interface with a driver optimized for streaming, recording, and playback with ultra-low latency. With the included control software, take control of essential parameters, signal routing, effects, premixes, and monitoring levels. Apply Synergy Core effects without overloading your computer. Together, these elements allow you to improve every aspect of your workflow.
Your New Desktop Companion
Versatility is a key feature of Zen Q, making it the centerpiece of any studio or home desktop setup. Zen Q gives producers a superior workflow in a compact form factor. It is suitable for location recording, traveling musicians, or producers who prefer mobility. Zen Q is completely self-powered, so an external power supply is not required to create your next big project.

Pratique pour l'enregistrement audio. Personnellement, je l'utilise pour m'entrainer à la guitare avec tete d'ampli connectée en direct out sur la carte son. Cela m'évite d'utiliser le bafle de l'ampli et déranger mes voisins.
