High-end interface with DSP-powered FX

The Antelope Zen Tour Synergy Core is a premium desktop audio interface that delivers professional studio capabilities in a portable format. Featuring a high-resolution TFT touchscreen and five user-assignable preset buttons, it allows users to recall custom setups instantly and access key functions such as metering, routing, and gain control directly from the hardware - ideal for fast-paced recording environments. With up to 32 inputs and outputs via Thunderbolt 3, and 24 I/O via USB 2.0, the Zen Tour Synergy Core offers exceptional routing flexibility. Its onboard Synergy Core FX engine, powered by four DSP chips and two FPGA processors in tandem, the dual-engine platform runs up to 112 real-time plugin instances without straining the host CPU. Whether for tracking, mixing, or mastering, the interface provides near-zero-latency monitoring and includes 36 high-grade effects - ranging from vintage EQs and compressors to guitar amps, mic preamps, and reverbs - to get started right away.

Professional conversion and comprehensive I/O

Built with Antelope's advanced AD/DA converters and proprietary 64-bit AFC "Oven Clock" technology, the Antelope Zen Tour Synergy Core ensures ultra-precise synchronisation and pristine signal quality. Four XLR/TRS combo inputs accept microphones - including Antelope's modelling mics for virtual preamp and mic simulations - as well as line-level sources. Four additional Hi-Z inputs are ideal for guitars and other instruments. Output options include eight line outs via a D-SUB 25 port, optical ADAT I/O, stereo S/PDIF, and dedicated left/right monitor outputs offering 130dB headroom and wide stereo imaging. Two independently controlled headphone outputs and two dedicated reamp outputs round out a highly flexible setup. From studio-grade conversion to detailed signal routing, every detail is designed with professional users in mind.

Powerful tool for mobile and project studios

The Antelope Zen Tour Synergy Core is a compelling solution for producers who demand high-performance audio gear in a compact form. It's also ideal for advanced home studio owners looking to expand their setup with high-quality preamps, detailed signal separation, and extensive routing. The interface runs on both macOS and Windows platforms, making it suitable for hybrid workflows. Whether used for full sessions, overdubs, or mixing, the Zen Tour Synergy Core delivers clarity, depth, and professional-grade stereo imaging - all from a device that fits easily on a desk or into a mobile rig.

About Antelope Audio

Antelope Audio is a manufacturer of professional audio equipment that was founded by developer Igor Levin, who invented the famous AardSync clock generator with which his then-company Aardvark made waves in the world of audio engineering at the end of the 20th century. In 2005, Igor Levin went – as he himself put it – back to his roots and continued to develop the AardSync concept. The result of this development work was the "Oven Clock", a word clock generator that is kept at a constant temperature of 64.5°C to provide increased stability and improve jitter performance. The newly founded Antelope Audio caused a similar splash in 2005 with its OCX Clock Generator. Today, Antelope Audio, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality audio interfaces and AD/DA converters and includes big names such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan among its users.

Recording, reamping, and mic modelling on the go

With its wide range of I/O, the Antelope Zen Tour Synergy Core is equally suited to live recording, rehearsal sessions, or location work. Guitarists can also take advantage of the dedicated reamp outputs to send pre-recorded tracks back through amps or pedals. Mic modelling support allows users to experiment with different mic types during vocal or instrumental recordings when paired with Antelope's Edge or Verge mics. The onboard talkback mic enables smooth communication during sessions, making the interface a practical hub for collaborative work. Smaller than an A4 sheet of paper and weighing just 1.6kg, the Zen Tour Synergy Core offers unmatched power and flexibility for mobile producers and engineers working at a professional level.
