Antelope Audio's Zen Tour Synergy Core is a professional analog and digital I/O audio interface with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 2.0 connectivity. With 4x DSP and 2x FPGA processors handling up to 256 FX instances, 8 analog inputs, 14 analog outputs, S/PDIF and ADAT digital connections and stunning 130dB dynamic range AD/DA conversion, the new Zen Tour sets new performance and audio quality standards in its category.
Zen Tour Synergy Core interfaces employ ARM DSP + FPGA chips in custom configurations to process tens of input/output audio streams and hundreds of low-latency studio effects without burdening your computer.
Zen Tour Synergy Core brings the following upgrades from the original Zen Tour:
- 4x DSP + 2x FPGA Synergy Core low-latency effects and audio engine processors
- Improved AD/DA conversion up to 130dB DNR, on par with Orion Studio Synergy Core
- 2x increase in channel count (32 channels at sample rates up to 192kHz)
- Thunderbolt™ 3 & USB 2.0 cross-platform connectivity for Mac / Windows
- Support for new Synergy Core-exclusive effects like Auto-Tune Synergy, Opto-2A, Comp-4K-Bus and others
- 8 DC-coupled line outputs for CV applications like controlling modular synthesizers
- Discrete ultra linear microphone preamps
36 FX Included
Zen Tour Synergy Core comes with a massive collection of real-time effects taken from the vast Antelope Audio Synergy Core FX library. It goes beyond the essentials. Everything you need to accomplish Recording, Mixing and Mastering is included.
Auto-Tune Synergy
Built from the ground-up for the Synergy Core platform, Auto-Tune Synergy adds live pitch correction to the Antelope Audio experience.
