Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core 14x10 Dual-USB Bus-Powered Audio Interface

The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a compact, bus‐powered 14x10 audio interface designed for producers, musicians, streamers and creators who want high‐end sound quality and modern workflow flexibility in a portable format.

It features four console‐grade Discrete preamps built with a six‐transistor topology, offering extremely low noise, up to 75 dB of gain and precise, transparent sound capture (ideal for dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones). For the first time in a bus‐powered device, the Zen Quadro includes flagship‐level AD/DA conversion with up to 130 dB of dynamic range, paired with Antelope's 64‐bit AFC clocking for expanded stereo imaging, improved depth and exceptional detail in both recording and playback.

A standout feature is its dual USB‐C architecture, allowing users to connect two devices simultaneously (Mac, PC, iOS or Android), route audio freely between them, create hybrid setups, collaborate in real time or charge a mobile device while using the interface.

With its rugged metal housing, bus‐powered design and full standalone operation via the built‐in colour display, the Zen Quadro is ready for studio, stage or mobile recording. Users can recall mixer states, routing and Synergy Core FX chains without needing a computer, making it a powerful tool for live performers.

Powered by Antelope's Synergy Core hybrid DSP/FPGA engine, the interface includes 37 real‐time analog‐modelled effects (mic pres, compressors, EQs, guitar amps, cabs and more) usable with near‐zero latency and without taxing your computer's CPU.

Compact, powerful and built for versatility, the Zen Quadro Synergy Core sets a new standard for bus‐powered interfaces with its high‐end conversion, flexible connectivity and professional real‐time processing.
