■Introducing the ZEN audio interface with a top-of-the-line converter and dual USB-C support! The new standard!

A 14-in/10-out dual USB-C bus-powered audio interface featuring a discrete preamp, best-in-class AD/DA converters, and real-time effects.

Zen Quadro pushes the boundaries of modern audio interface technology by incorporating top-of-the-line components into an affordable yet compact size.
Featuring AD/DA chips from Antelope Audio's flagship Galaxy series and console-grade discrete preamps boasting 75dB of gain, the ZenQuadro delivers the uncompromising sound quality that has been acclaimed by renowned recording studios worldwide, making it accessible to all creators.
Synergy Core's real-time processing and enhanced standalone capabilities are now just some of the features included in this product.

Thanks to the groundbreaking Dual USB design adopted in this model, this device allows for simultaneous playback and recording on two systems, making it an indispensable feature for all producers, musicians, and streamers looking to enhance their production environment.

【Features】
- With up to 130dB of headroom and 64-bit AFC™ technology, faithful audio conversion enhances soundstage width, separation, and detail.
It features four console-grade 6-transistor ultra-linear discrete preamplifiers, enabling highly transparent and clear recordings.
Synergy Core's real-time processing faithfully reproduces legendary studio equipment digitally, enabling near-zero latency tracking, monitoring, and streaming.
It includes 37 effects modeled after vintage analog compressors, EQs, guitar amps, and modulation effects.
• Dual USB design with a secondary USB-C port (OTG) allows for simultaneous playback and recording on two systems.
The device's large color display provides complete standalone functionality, including device control, access to routing and internal mixer settings, and preset recall.
- DC-coupled analog input/output that allows control of the synthesizer with a control voltage (CV) signal.

■ Unrivaled AD/DA conversion and clocking
The Zen Quadro Synergy Core features a state-of-the-art converter boasting a dynamic range of up to 130dB at 192kHz/24-bit, delivering unparalleled sound quality. Combined with Antelope Audio's proprietary 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology, this converter creates a new level of detail in recordings and a wide, high-resolution stereo image during audio playback, enabling more precise mixing.

■Highly transparent and clear preamplifier
The four discrete preamps in the Zen Quadro are built with a 6-transistor topology inspired by British and American analog consoles of the 80s and 90s, ensuring accurate sound capture while minimizing noise. This extremely low noise and up to 75dB of gain allows the Zen Quadro to handle even low-gain dynamic and ribbon microphones.

■Synergy Core: Real-time processing enabled by DSP and FPGA
Antelope Audio engineers combined DSP and FPGA chips to model the analog hardware components at a level that makes up the original hardware. This resulted in sound and behavior that is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and it operates with near-zero latency, without burdening the computer's CPU.
The Zen Quadro comes with 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps and cabinets, modulation effects, and more, which can be used in real time during recording, streaming, and live performances.

■With the ability to load up to 48 mono effect instances (6ch x 8) simultaneously, this single unit essentially allows you to set up a complex studio rack on your desktop.
Other real-time effects, such as Antares' Auto-Tune Synergy and Grove Hill's Liverpool, are also available for purchase at any time.

■ Revolutionary Dual USB design
The Zen Quadro's dual USB-C ports expand the possibilities for all creators.
For example, you can use a Mac, PC, iOS (USB-C), or Android device simultaneously to freely route signals between two USB connections or create mixes.
Additionally, the loopback function is ideal for streaming, and you can even charge your mobile device via the secondary port while powering the Zen Quadro via the primary port.

■Enhanced standalone functionality for live performances and tours: With bus-powered USB-C connectivity and a durable casing, you can take a compact, portable studio with you wherever you go.
With complete standalone operation, easy access to routing and mixer controls from the color display, and the ability to recall settings and real-time FX chains, it's ideal for live performances.
Furthermore, the secondary USB-C port allows you to use two computers on stage during live performances, making a single Zen Quadro unit sufficient.

■ Flexible connectivity to the entire studio
It features four microphone/line inputs (two of which also have instrument inputs), an ADAT input, and S/PDIF I/O, allowing you to record up to 14 inputs simultaneously.
In addition to the monitor output, it also features another line output, which can be used to connect a second speaker or as an output for outboard processing.
The second headphone output features an independent mixer, allowing two people to listen to different cue mixes simultaneously.
The DC-coupled I/O can also send and receive control voltage (CV) signals, allowing the Zen Quadro to be part of a modular synth setup.
