Antelope Audio is bringing professional studio performances to your home studio thanks to their Zen Q Synergy Core.
The Zen Q Synergy Core offers professional AD/DA conversion, discrete ultra-linear preamps, and 64-bit AFCTM alongside 37 bundled analog-modeled effects. These effects include everything from guitar amplifiers to tube mic preamps and compressors, with over 50 optional expansions available through Antelope Audio’s Software Store.
The Zen Q Synergy Core centers around two Combo XLR jacks with switchable modes to toggle between the discrete console-grade preamps, while a Stereo Monitor Output and Line Output team up with a mastering-grade D/A converter to connect to external outboard gear. The connectivity of the Zen Q Synergy Core also features:

- 2x Hi-Z/line instrument inputs over TRS 1/4″ jacks
- 2x signal-balanced, DC-coupled LINE OUT (outputs) over TRS 1/4″ jacks (+20 dBu max)
