4x8 bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with onboard real-time effects.
Professional Sound at Your Fingertips
With its exceptional sound quality, the Zen Go Synergy Core closes the gap between artists with access to premium studios and home creators. The pristine sound comes from a unique combination of professional-grade AD/DA converters, discrete ultralinear preamps, and the stand-out sonic quality of Antelope Audio’s 64-bit AFC technology that’s used by the most prestigious international studios and trusted with the scoring of some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters.
A Benchmark for Pro Audio
The Thunderbolt 3 interface is designed to enhance your workflow at every angle, with its optimized audio driver for low-latency playback, streaming and recording. This pro-grade technology lets you focus on production without being weighed down by latency, insufficient channel count and limited bandwidth when streaming and recording. Paired with onboard software, grasp seamless control over essential parameters like signal routing, effects, sub-mixes and monitoring levels.
Create From Anywhere, at Anytime
Antelope Audio’s first bus-powered interface is optimized for ultra-low latency recording, high-resolution playback, creative beat making and podcasting—from virtually anywhere. You don’t need a dedicated power supply: With a single Thunderbolt 3 cable, you can power the Zen Go Synergy Core from your computer and use it to its full potential.
Full Production Pack From the Start
Zen Go Synergy Core comes with 37 of the finest analog-modeled effects to create stunning, sonically-rich productions. In addition to exclusive compressors, EQs and preamps, this interface comes with 22 guitar amps & cabs, a guitar tuner and a signature reverb that can be applied to your tracking and mixing session in real-time.
Expand your effects collection by purchasing more classic go-to units, true rarities never before recreated in digital form, and third-party effects (like Antares’ Auto-Tune Synergy).
Better Workflow, Better Recording
Every feature available to you in the interface’s Control Panel has been added to improve the important aspects of your workflow. Since DAW monitoring inevitably adds latency, you can monitor directly through the interface. With the routing options, you can easily set-up a near-zero latency mix and stack it with your favorite Synergy Core effects—without overloading the onboard platform. Dedicated signal metering is available for both input and output levels on the front panel display and in the software control panel.
Incredible Flexibility and Connectivity
Two combo XLR jacks provide flexibility to choose between our custom discrete mic preamps, line or Hi-Z inputs. These are easily configurable via the control panel. The two TRS balanced output (mirrored with the two RCAs) sends the signal from the professional-grade D/A converter to two separate sound systems. Use one for your main monitors and the other with any other sound system with RCA connectivity—all while preserving sound integrity.
