When you pick up this Antelope Audio offering, you don't just get an audio interface: you get a fat bundle of 93 real-time emulations of outboard gear, including EQs, compressors, microphone preamps and effects. Since each plugin-based emulation is run directly by the hardware via FPGA/DSP chips, your computer CPU is given a welcome break, freeing up the space needed to concentrate on other jobs.
So you can immediately start polishing off professional productions, this Antelope Audio bundle also comes with a free copy of Bitwig Studio 5. This DAW can be used for recording, mixing and mastering, and ups the total value of this deal to over £7,000!
The mighty Antelope Audio Zen Tour desktop audio interface is made even more potent by the four DSP and two FPGA processors tucked up inside. These beasts can process even more effects so that your computer doesn't have to! Previously, this came down to a maximum of 16 channels, each loaded with four effects, but now, each of the 32 channels provided by the Zen Tour is able to handle up to eight effects, and a total of 36 effects come built-in. Every one of Antelope Audio's latest interfaces features the upgraded Synergy Core. A future-proof foundation that's fully prepared for processing any high-end effects that have yet to be developed, and the intelligent piece of studio gear you're looking at right now is no exception.
Another fresh feature includes lightning-fast Thunderbolt 3 support for both Windows and MacOS systems. While latency wasn't exactly something that bothered the previous Zen Tour, this latest version renders it practically non-existent, and even comes with eight DC-coupled analogue outputs that support control voltage (CV) applications to control modular synthesizers and other gear. Also, it's worth mentioning that this superbly smart interface has been equipped with an improved cooling system that efficiently reduces the chance of overheating.
While the Zen Tour Synergy Core may be compact, it's home to a great number of inputs and outputs, including four discrete instrument/line inputs, four microphone/line inputs, eight line outputs, two headphone outputs and two re-amp outputs. And we haven't even mentioned the fact that it can be expanded via ADAT and S/PDIF for an additional ten digital inputs and ten digital outputs. It's safe to say that should be enough to record a full band! The discrete microphone preamps inside this upgraded interface now provide 75 dBs of gain, while the dynamic range now matches that of the much pricier Orion Studio and goes all the way up to 130 dB. Add to that Antelope's microphone modelling technology and the ever-useful Routing Matrix and you've got everything you'll ever need!
