Antelope Audio Launches Bus-Powered, Portable Audio Interface - Zen Go Synergy Core
Antelope Audio has launched its first bus-powered, portable (4 x 8 USB-C) audio interface, the Zen Go Synergy Core, at NAMM Believe in Music Week.
The Zen Go Synergy Core is a portable desktop interface that allows self-recording artists to create from virtually anywhere with technology used by award-winning producers. The device’s sound quality and processing capabilities are in a class of their own with Antelope Audio’s renowned 64-bit AFC clocking technology and the powerful, effects-packed Synergy Core onboard platform.
The Zen Go Synergy Core shrinks the gap in sound quality between artists with access to premium studios and home creators. The pristine sound is due to a combination of professional-grade AD/DA converters and Discrete ultra-linear preamps and the 64-bit AFC clocking technology. Zen Go Synergy Core comes with 37 of the finest analog-modeled effects that will help create stunning, sonically rich productions. Aside from the exclusive compressors, EQs and preamps, with the interface users get 22 guitar amps & cabs, a guitar tuner and a signature reverb that are ready to be applied in real time to tracking and mixing sessions. The Synergy Core effects processing allows to stack up chain with many effects instances while monitoring through the interface without fear of overloading.
Antelope Audio’s first bus-powered interface is optimized for ultra-low latency recording, high-resolution playback, creative beat making and podcasting from virtually anywhere. With just a USB-C cable user can power the Zen Go Synergy Core from their computer and use it to its full potential without having to carry a dedicated power supply. The interface can also be powered with any USB-C charger.
Since DAW monitoring inevitably adds latency, users can monitor directly through the interface to reduce delay to the absolute minimum. With the routing options users can easily set-up a near-zero latency mix and stack it with their favorite Synergy Core effects without fear of overloading the onboard platform. Dedicated signal metering is available for both input and output levels on the front panel display and in the software Control Panel.
The two combo XLR jacks give the flexibility to choose between custom Discrete mic preamps, line and Hi-Z inputs, and are easily configurable via the control panel. The two TRS balanced outputs, mirrored with the two RCAs, allow to send the signal from the professional-grade D/A converter to two separate sound systems.
