Audio interface with effects processor

The Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a high-quality audio interface with 4 analogue and 10 digital outputs. Featuring an integrated, digital Synergy Core signal processor for real-time implementation of effects, which effectively renders the processing power of a DAW superfluous, the interface can also be connected to two computers or smartphones to provide a flexible workflow, while the AD/DA conversion boasting a maximum 24bit and 192kHz recording quality makes the Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core a suitable jitter-free audio interface for professional productions – from music to podcasts. A major standout feature of the Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core, however, is the internal signal processor, which enables seamless live streaming. Packed full of features, there can be no doubt that the powerful Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core is the perfect allrounder for a multitude of productions.

The perfect interface for musicians and content creators

The converters in the Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core, which are feature in the manufacturer’s Galaxy series, boast a dynamic range of up to 130dB. Clocking is provided courtesy of the proprietary 64-bit AFC technology, which provides an excellent level of detail and an exceptional stereo image in audio playback. Inspired by the British and American consoles of the eighties and nineties, the internal preamps operate on the basis of six discrete transistors, offering excellent noise suppression and precise sound capture. With up to 75dB of gain, even the quietest dynamic and ribbon mics can be used with maximum success. XLR combo jacks are available as analogue input sockets for flexible connectivity. The front of the interface is fitted with special Hi-Z inputs for guitars and basses.

A high-performance interface for many applications

The Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core was created for all musicians and streamers who are looking to achieve a seamless signal flow with real-time effects. The dual USB ports allow a computer and smartphone to be connected simultaneously, enabling the free routing of signals and creation of mixes between the two devices. A loopback function is also available for streaming. Two practical headphone outputs located at the front of the device provide the perfect setup for two-person podcast productions. Additional digital signals can be fed in via the S/PDIF connections and the inputs and outputs are DC-coupled to enable control voltage output for hardware control. With linear preamps, integrated real-time effects, and standalone operation, the Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core is the gateway to achieving the perfect audio production.

About Antelope Audio

Antelope Audio is a manufacturer of professional audio equipment that was founded by developer Igor Levin, who invented the famous AardSync clock generator with which his then-company Aardvark made waves in the world of audio engineering at the end of the 20th century. In 2005, Igor Levin went – as he himself put it – back to his roots and continued to develop the AardSync concept. The result of this development work was the “Oven Clock”, a word clock generator that is kept at a constant temperature of 64.5 °C to provide increased stability and improve jitter performance. The newly founded Antelope Audio caused a similar splash in 2005 with its OCX Clock Generator. Today, Antelope Audio, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality audio interfaces and AD/DA converters and includes big names such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan among its users.

Legendary effects with great analogue sound quality

The effects incorporated into the Synergy Core DSP can be accessed by connecting the interface to a computer. Synergy Core uses FPGA chips to model analogue hardware, ensuring exceptional productions that are virtually indistinguishable in sound from the legendary devices. A total of 37 effects are available, including compressors, equalisers, modulation effects, and guitar amps and cabs, with even more effects available to purchase via the Antelope Audio Shop. What is more, all effects can also be applied during streaming, not just after recording, with near-zero latency and zero processing strain on the connected computer! Up to 48 mono effect instances can be distributed simultaneously across six tracks, enabling a complex signal chain for demanding productions.

Save your nerves

It sounds great, until it lets you down at a random moment. And then again, and one more time. The reputation of the Antelope software is well deserved, there are bugs all over the place, starting from the stability of the audio interface to the plugins page in the launcher. Sound is not the single requirement for the studio gear. The documentation is horrible as well, it's outdated and contradicts itself. I didn't have that much struggle with the basic usage of any other piece of audio equipment. I'm keeping it for now, but my feelings are mixed, and I won't recommend it to anyone.

The best audio interface for this price range
Tsetso Toshev 08.10.2024
I recently added the Antelope Zen Quadro Synergy Core to my home studio and the difference is huge. The preamps and built-in effects provide a professional audio experience. Most of all I love that I have 2 headphone outputs and I can control everything independently, it makes my work easier than ever. Totally worth upgrading your setup with such an audio interface.

Fantastic quality for amazing price

The Quadro offers so much for such a small package. The quality of the preamps and built-in effects offer professional standard audio. Despite some technical faults with the control panel software, which Antelope Audio are aware of and is in the process of fixing

Just a quick review on this. Bought it primarily because I had a need for an interface with 2 x headphone outs.
read all the issues that people were having, so I was a bit worried that I'd be regretting my purchase. In fairness it's been plain sailing. It sounds great and is very versatile.
I don't really use the onboard plugins that much so wasn't a big deal for me. One thing I did notice though was a lack of presets within the actual plugins when trying them out. That might not be an issue for some, but it's nice to have them as starting points for others.
