Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core | Flagship AD/DA Dual USB-C Audio Interface
14-in/10-out Dual System Audio Interface with Synergy Core Real-time Effects Processing
The Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a professional dual USB-C audio interface launched by Antelope Audio. It features AD/DA converters derived from the brand's flagship Galaxy series and 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology, offering a dynamic range of up to 130dB and Discrete 6-transistor preamps with 75dB gain. This USB-powered portable interface provides music producers, musicians, and content creators with lossless audio quality and real-time effects processing capabilities on par with world-class recording studios.
Compared to traditional audio interfaces that rely solely on computer CPU processing, the Zen Quadro Synergy Core, through its built-in Synergy Core platform (FPGA + DSP chips), achieves near-zero latency real-time effects chain processing. This frees you from worrying about computer performance bottlenecks or latency issues during recording, monitoring, or live streaming, completely unleashing your creative workflow.
