General
The Zen Studio+ is Antelope Audio's successor to the original Zen Studio audio interface. It's an ultimate mobile recording studio that is armed with a super-fast Thunderbolt interface as well as USB functionality. It offers 12 outstanding preamps that give microphones and instruments extreme detail, a pleasant neutral sound and a brilliant tone. The practical talkback function is ideal for communicating directly with musicians and engineers during recording. The Zen Studio+ also boasts four ReAmping outputs that let you send your DI signal through your favourite tube amp and make real time adjustments during mixing!
FPGA chip: fast and versatile
Antelope Audio are known for their Field Programmable Gate Array chip (FPGA). This chip makes it possible to quickly add effects to your mix, either directly or in your DAW, without any latency. As well as extremely accurate modelled vintage effects like compressors and equalizers, this interface is also equipped with gorgeous amplifier and cabinet emulations. Antelope Audio's trend-setting FPGA chip allows you to make four individual monitor mixes in real time, while the effects are processed by the hardware. This means that they react as hardware units and relieve your computer's processor at the same time. In other words, working 'in the box' has never been more efficient!
AFC: superior synchronisation
Antelope Audio put clocking technology on the map, so to speak, as it was their CEO, Igor Levin, who came up with the idea of Acoustically Focused Clocking technology. It ensures that the pulse, the synchronisation (clock) in and between the audio interface, external analogue and digital equipment is stable at all times. The more accurate information in this process, the more precise the audio is reproduced. This technology is fully integrated into the Zen Studio+. What's more, this interface can be operated via your iOS and/or Android device. All these components combined make this audio interface an unparalleled mobile recording solution!
