Antelope Audio launches Zen Go Synergy Core at NAMM

Antelope Audio has launched the Zen Go Synergy Core — its first bus-powered, portable (4 x 8 USB-C) audio interface — at NAMM Believe In Music Week.

The Zen Go Synergy Core comes with Antelope Audio’s AD/DA converter technology, Synergy Core onboard effects processing platform, and proprietary 64-bit AFCTM (Acoustically Focused Clocking) algorithm, supporting sample rates of up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

Zen Go Synergy Core also delivers one of the highest AD/DA specifications, offering up to 127dB of headroom and providing extended detail in the low-end.

The unit has more than 80 analogue-modelled real-time effects available to choose from during live tracking or post-production. When working in the box, 37 emulations of some of the most sought-after effects are accessible for free, including analogue-modelled compressors, EQs, mic preamps, guitar amps & cabs, along with the company’s signature AuraVerb.

Beyond the 37 free effects, the ever-expanding Synergy Core library offers over 50 more as optional expansions – including emulations of classics such as Grove Hill’s Liverpool and Gyratec’s legendary EQs, as well as third-party effects such as Antares’ Auto-Tune and Inertia’s Instinct.

The Zen Go Synergy Core will start shipping in Q1 2021, retailing at $499.00 USD / €499.00 EUR.
