Presentation
This dynamic reserve favours faithful takes that are easy to use in production, while highlighting the direct relationship between your playing, your voice and the interface. Over the course of your projects, this transparency will become an ally, reducing the need for corrections and leaving more room for artistic intent.
The Zenith 2's 2 Discrete 6-transistor preamps are based on the architecture of renowned professional consoles. With 75dB of clean gain, they can accommodate both an energy-hungry dynamic microphone and a more sensitive source, without any superfluous gimmicks.
This design favours faithful, stable reproduction, giving a solid foundation to every recording. You'll quickly feel this sonic coherence, which secures your takes and naturally accompanies your creative evolution.
Antelope Audio has installed an internal DSP that lets you shape the signal in real time using Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ and De-Esser. Monitoring remains fluid, latency almost imperceptible, and the integrated loopback simplifies streaming configurations without any technical gymnastics.
