The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a new 14 x 10 desktop audio interface with some exciting new features like dual-USB inputs.

For starters, the Zen Quadro features the same 24-bit 192 kHz conversion processors as the renowned Galaxy series interface. This means you get up to 130 dB of dynamic range and 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking).
In addition, the input stage features four console-style mic preamps with a 6-transistor circuitry. These provide you with 75 dB of discrete gain, perfect for powering low-output dynamic and ribbon mics.
The Synergy Core engine combines Antelope’s DSP and FPGA chips to give you the lowest latency processing. What’s more, the Zen Quadro is bundled with a plug-in collection of 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps, and more.
Possibly the most exciting thing about the new Zen Quadro is its dual-USB functionality. This allows two laptops or mobile devices to be connected simultaneously, which is ideal for live performance or podcasting workflows.
Furthermore, the Zen Quadro can function in standalone mode. What this means, is you can use the Synergy Core system and analogue I/O as an effects processor and signal router. Overall, it’s an extremely versatile interface for the price.
