Taking the AD/DA chips from Antelope Audio’s flagship Galaxy range, along with proprietary AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology, the Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a dual USB-C audio interface that provides creators of all kinds with the same uncompromising sound quality enjoyed by the world’s premiere recording studios. Hear your audio's every detail with massive 130 dB dynamic-range converters, and power even the quietest dynamic and ribbon mics with four 75 dB gain console-grade preamps. With Dual USB ports, streamers and podcasters can connect two computers, or a computer and phone, to stream, playback, and record on two systems simultaneously with cross-routing, loopback, and reverse charging.  

Zen Quadro lets you record, stream, and play live with Synergy Core real-time FX processing. Featuring standalone functionality and 37 analog-modeled effects, the interface can be used without a computer as an FX box during live gigs. The unit allows easy access to direct routing, preset recall, and mixer settings via its color display. With expandability via ADAT and S/PDIF, Zen Quadro features a total of 14-in / 10-out channels in a small and portable bus-powered interface.

• Zen Quadro is the first bus-powered audio interface where the company implemented its highest-quality converters with up to a whopping 130 dB dynamic range—the same used in the flagship Galaxy units.
• Paired with proprietary 64-bit AFC clocking technology, the Zen Quadro provides you with a new level of detail in your recordings, with wider soundstage for an exceptional stereo image in audio playback.
• Record with 4 Crystal-Clear Preamps
   

  • Inspired by the British and American analog console designs of the '80s and '90s, the 4 preamps are built with discrete, 6-transistor topology (found in Orion Studio Synergy Core), offering maximum noise reduction and precise sound capture.
  • With extremely low noise and up to 75 dB gain, you can power even your quietest dynamic and ribbon mics with no additional hardware.
  • Play Live Onstage with Real-Time FX

     

    • Take the studio on the road with bus-powered USB-C connectivity and a durable metal enclosure.
    • With complete standalone operation, you can easily access routing and mixer controls through the color display and recall settings and real-time FX chains, making it ideal for live performances.
    • The secondary USB-C port even allows collaboration between duo live acts that are using two computers onstage.
    Synergy Core: The Magic of Real-Time DSP and FPGA Processing

     

    • Synergy Core combines DSP with FPGA chips to model each and every individual component of legendary analog hardware. This ensures sound and behavior that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing—with near-zero latency, and zero strain on your computer’s CPU.
    • With the Zen Quadro, you can instantly start recording through 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps, cabs, modulation effects, and more—applied in real-time during recording, streaming, or live performances.
    • Up to 48 mono effect instances can be loaded on 6 input chains simultaneously, putting the power of a complex multirack setup on your desktop or onstage.
    Enhanced Standalone Functionality

    • Recall presets with routing, FX chains, and settings, directly from the device. New to the Zen Quadro is the ability to set routings on the device itself.
    Synth Heads

    • Dive deep into sonic exploration with the Zen Quadro's DC-coupled I/O, real-time monitoring, and silent line inputs, allowing budding synth enthusiasts to unleash the full potential of their modular setups, whether in the studio or onstage.
