Antelope Audio 'Zen Go Synergy Core': Antelope Audio's First Bus-Powered, Truly Portable Audio Interface
Antelope Audio announces 'Zen Go Synergy Core'. It is Antelope Audio's first bus-powered and truly portable (4 x 8 USB-C) audio interface, available as a powerful DSP-based desktop design powered by the same Synergy Core onboard effects processing platform found in the Antelope Audio’s top-tier audio interfaces with which it shares premium technology. 'Zen Go Synergy Core' is attractively priced as a new go-to standard in the sub-$500.00 USD/€500.00 EUR market segment.
'Zen Go Synergy Core' is Antelope Audio’s first bus-powered and truly portable audio interface. It is designed by the company’s critically-acclaimed AD/DA (Analog-Digital/Digital-Analog) converter technology, Synergy Core onboard effects processing platform, and proprietary 64-bit AFC™ (Acoustically Focused Clocking) algorithm, supporting sample rates of up to 24-bit/192 kHz. 'Zen Go Synergy Core' delivers the same rock-solid stability and acclaimed sound that has helped its audio interfaces find favor with the most reputable recording studios in the world.
'Zen Go Synergy Core' comes complete with a plug and play interface delivering an optimized installation experience that also frees users from unnecessary installations or configuration settings such as a perfect pairing with Zen Go Synergy Core’s two ultra-linear discrete transistor-based preamps, two MIC-XLR and LINE / HiZ / 1/4” JACK connections, two independent (HP1 and HP2) headphone outputs with dedicated DAC (Digital-to-Analog-Converter), stepped analog rotary encoder for precise gain adjustment, alternative MONITOR line out on RCA connectors directly fed from the main DAC, S/PDIF digital I/O on RCA connectors for expansion, dedicated IPS (In-Plane Switching) display for signal monitoring, direct monitoring mixers for real-time hardware-based monitoring with onboard effects, advanced software control panel for macOS and Windows, and dedicated secondary USB-C connection for external power supply and reverse charging.
You can choose from 80-plus analog-modelled real-time effects during live tracking or post-production, adding a distinctive analog flavor to your mix. While working ITB (in-the-box), 37 emulations of some of the world’s most coveted and hard-to-find analog studio gear are accessible for free, with Zen Go Synergy Core’s collection far from lacking in variety by spanning from a rare Austrian EQ through to legendary British solid-state processing with much in-between. Since those real-time effects are hosted by Synergy Core as a proprietary processing platform uniting the power of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) processors, this means that owners of Zen Go Synergy Core can immerse into this experience with imperceptible latency, allowing for direct monitoring of the processed signal in real-time for the most enjoyable recording experience, while also offloading all processing to the audio interface itself - no need, necessarily, to rely entirely on a host computer’s CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory capacity or any external DSP accelerators, in other words.
'Zen Go Synergy Core' features the same ultra-linear preamp circuit found in the reputable British and American recording and mixing consoles of the past. Planted firmly in the present, this design’s high-gain structure and transparency make it a perfect match for any type of microphone. Musically vintage sound experiences, of course, can easily be achieved by loading a legendary preamp emulation as a real-time Synergy Core effect, enhanced still further when working in perfect harmony with one of Antelope Audio’s Edge series modelling microphones with real-time use.
Zen Go Synergy Core duly delivers one of the highest AD/DA specifications with a mastering-grade monitor output boasting a 127 dB DNR (dynamic range) bringing width, separation, and detail to not only new recordings but to all tracks. Being bolstered by Synergy Core readily ranks it as the most powerful onboard effects processing-capable audio interface in its class. It is perfectly positioned, therefore, to bring studio-quality recording to the home - or, indeed, any remote recording location made more easily accessible by the truly portable nature of its implementation - with critically-acclaimed conversion and preamp design plus an array of professional features on hand, helping next-generation producers to take their sound to the next level.
