Antelope Audio makes a sensational entry into the market of compact interfaces in desktop format by offering, for less than €500, functionalities and technical characteristics that are generally found on much more expensive interfaces.

Outstanding performance at this price level, 2 preamps, a very complete virtual studio with 37 effects to help you make professional quality mixes, 2 headphone outputs, self-powered by Mac/Windows compatible USB-C port and cable provided: everything is there.

The Antelope Zen Go is equipped with 1 DSP + 1 FPGA, enough to load up to 8 effects per slice, for a total of 32 effects simultaneously!

Once the interface and your setup are configured, the interface can operate standalone (autonomous), simply power it via any USB charger (even that of your smartphone).

What makes Zen Go Synergy Core the best-sounding interface in its class is the combination of professional-level AD/DA converters and ultra-linear discrete component preamps inspired by the circuits of legendary American or English consoles. The device's unique sound quality would not be possible without the foundation of Antelope sound: the 64-bit AFC™ clock technology used in the brand's master clocks used for recording the soundtracks of the blockbusters Avatar and The Dark Knight Rises.

Each feature available on the interface control panel has been carefully chosen to improve the important points of your workflow. Since listening from your DAW inevitably adds latency, you can listen to your sources directly in the interface to reduce delay to an absolute minimum. With the routing options you can easily create a mix with almost zero latency while adding numerous effects without fear of saturating the onboard processor. Level display is available for inputs and outputs on the front panel display and in the software control panel.

The two combo XLR jacks on the front give you the flexibility to choose between mic, line and instrument inputs from our original discrete component preamps, easily configurable via the control panel. The two balanced TRS outputs, backed by two unbalanced RCAs, allow you to send the professional-level DA converter signal to two separate monitoring systems.
Use one for your main monitors and the other for a DJ console or other sound system with RCA connectors while preserving sound integrity.

Interface audio de très bonne qualité, avec préamplis clairs, présentant les fonctionnalités qui me sont utiles (alimentation phantom, réglages des gains faciles, routing simple). Aucune latence perceptible pour le jeu d'une guitare en entrée, on retrouve d'excellentes sensations de jeu.

Les effets DSP ajoutent pas mal de possibilités que ce soit au niveau des préamplis, compresseurs et équaliseurs. Leur utilisation est simple également.

Venant d'une interface RME fireface UC vielle de 15 ans que je considérais comme le top, je suis tombé sous le charme de cette petite carte avec certes moins d'entrées mais un son incomparable et un bundle d'effets top. Je cherchais à la base une carte avec la possibilité de rajouter une réverbération en monitoring et cette fonction est pleinement satisfaisante. Il faut se familiariser avec le routing mais une fois qu'on a compris c'est du tout bon et très flexible.
Les simulations d'ampli viennent de T.H-U, gage de qualité et les nombreux compresseurs pré-ampli sonnent vraiment bien.
Enfin l'entrée spdif me permet de rajouter des entrées venant de ma carte rme pour éviter d'avoir à rebrancher claviers et guitares selon les besoins.
Bref go go go !
