The Zen Tour Synergy Core is a desktop audio interface that delivers professional-grade conversion and dedicated DSP processing in a compact, hand-assembled chassis designed for both studio and mobile work. Its combination of comprehensive I/O, low-latency effect processing, and Antelope's signature clocking technology makes it a serious workhorse for recording, mixing, and monitoring—without demanding rack space or excessive desktop footprint.
Audio Performance & ConversionFeaturing 124 dB dynamic range on the ADC, 127 dB on the line out DAC, and 130 dB on the monitor outputs, the Zen Tour Synergy Core delivers artifact-free recording and mastering-grade monitoring. 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology and advanced jitter management ensure pristine signal integrity across all audio paths, with support for sample rates up to 192kHz.
I/O & DSP ArchitectureThe interface packs 8 inputs and 14 outputs—including 4 Instrument/Line inputs, 4 Mic/Line inputs, 8 DC-coupled line outs, 1 stereo monitor out, 2 headphone outs, and 2 re-amp outs—all within a portable frame. Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-B connectivity accommodate cross-platform workflows, while ADAT and S/PDIF expandability adds 10 channels of digital I/O. Onboard 4x ARM DSP + 2x FPGA Synergy Core FX processing handles up to 256 effects instances per session with zero CPU overhead.
