This sophisticated device is engineered to deliver high-quality, artifact-free audio input and output, making it the go-to choice for discerning musicians, producers, and audio engineers who demand nothing less than the best in high-fidelity sound.

The Zen Tour Synergy Core is not just an audio interface; it's a comprehensive recording solution that offers advanced connectivity options. With a plethora of inputs and outputs, including 1/4" phone, fiber optic, RCA, Thunderbolt 3, USB, and XLR, this interface is designed to accommodate a wide array of devices and setups. Its support for high-resolution 192kHz audio exemplifies its commitment to crystal-clear sound quality, ensuring that your recordings are captured with the utmost precision.

The interface boasts 4 low-noise, high-gain discrete ultra-linear preamps, providing a pristine recording path that captures every nuance of your performance. The high-spec AD/DA converters ensure that your recordings are free of unwanted artifacts, while the signature Antelope clocking technology enhances the width, separation, and detail of your audio. For critical listening, a dedicated monitoring converter offers a wider soundstage, allowing you to mix and even master with studio-quality audio reproduction right from your home studio.

The unit includes 4 instrument/line ins, 4 combo mic/line ins with 65dB of gain, 8 line outs, 1 stereo monitor out, 2 stereo headphone outs, and 2 reamp outs. The digital expandability over ADAT & S/PDIF allows for an additional 10 digital ins and outs when used at up to 48kHz. All line outs are DC-coupled, ready for CV applications, and an integrated talkback microphone facilitates seamless communication with artists.

The interface comes with 37 real-time effects, providing you with a library of emulations of the most coveted studio analog gear. This collection includes 2 preamps, 4 equalizers, 5 compressors, 22 guitar amps & cabs, 1 expander, 1 noise gate, 1 reverb, and 1 guitar tuner. The Synergy Core technology offloads all processing to the interface, ensuring imperceptible latency and direct monitoring of the processed signal in real-time, enhancing the recording experience while reducing buffer size and improving system stability.

The Zen Tour Synergy Core is compatible with a wide range of setups, connecting via Thunderbolt 3 or high-speed USB 2.0. Custom-built drivers for Mac or Windows ensure low-latency performance, making this interface a versatile addition to any recording system, whether on tour or in a studio session.
