Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core 14x10 Dual USB Bus-Powered Audio Interface
The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a revolutionary 14-in/10-out USB-C audio interface that redefines portable recording with flagship 130 dB dynamic range converters, four console-grade discrete preamps, and Synergy Core real-time DSP for 37 analog-modeled effects. Bus-powered and dual-USB enabled, it connects two computers or a computer and mobile device simultaneously, supporting Mac, PC, iOS, and Android. With up to 75 dB gain, FPGA/DSP processing, and standalone operation, the Zen Quadro delivers professional studio sound for producers, musicians, and streamers on the go.
Flagship Conversion and Clocking
The Zen Quadro features Antelope’s highest-quality converters in a bus-powered interface, offering 130 dB dynamic range and 64-bit AFC™ clocking for ultra-detailed recordings and wide stereo imaging. Paired with low-noise discrete 6-transistor preamps inspired by 1980s British/American consoles, it provides 75 dB gain to power dynamic and ribbon mics without additional hardware, ensuring pristine capture for vocals, guitars, and instruments.
Dual-USB Versatility
The innovative dual USB-C ports enable simultaneous connection to two devices, routing signals between Mac, PC, iOS (USB-C), or Android for collaboration or charging. USB OTG support allows loopback for streaming, while standalone mode lets you access routing and mixer controls via the color display, recalling settings and FX chains without a computer—perfect for live performances or mobile setups.
Synergy Core DSP Processing
Synergy Core combines FPGA and DSP for near-zero latency, CPU-free processing of 37 analog-modeled mic pres, compressors, EQs, amps, and cabs, with up to 48 mono instances on 6 input chains. This multi-rack power in a desktop unit enables real-time effects during recording, streaming, or live use, emulating legendary hardware with authentic behavior and sound.
