Antelope Audio Zen Tour Synergy Core Audio Interface

Antelope Audio Zen Tour Synergy Core Audio Interface

The Zen Tour Synergy Core is a desktop audio interface built for gigging musicians, studio players, and engineers who demand professional-grade conversion and dedicated DSP processing without compromise. Its hand-assembled chassis packs comprehensive I/O, zero-latency effect processing, and Antelope's signature clocking technology into a compact, portable frame—giving you mastering-grade sonics and reliable performance whether you're tracking at home, on the road, or in a session.

Audio Performance & Conversion

Featuring 124 dB dynamic range on the ADC, 127 dB on the line out DAC, and 130 dB on the monitor outputs, the Zen Tour Synergy Core delivers the transparent, artifact-free signal path that lets your tone shine without compromise. 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology and advanced jitter management ensure pristine signal integrity across all audio paths, with support for sample rates up to 192kHz. You hear what you're actually playing—nothing less.

I/O & DSP Architecture

The interface packs 8 inputs and 14 outputs—including 4 Instrument/Line inputs, 4 Mic/Line inputs, 8 DC-coupled line outs, 1 stereo monitor out, 2 headphone outs, and 2 re-amp outs—all within a portable frame that travels. Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-B connectivity work across platforms and systems, while ADAT and S/PDIF expandability adds 10 channels of digital I/O for complex setups. Onboard 4x ARM DSP + 2x FPGA Synergy Core FX processing runs up to 256 effects instances per session with zero CPU load—your computer stays free for recording, and your tones stay responsive and live.
