Antelope Audio | Zen Tour

Get creative with Antelope’s brand new hardware-based FPGA effects. These include guitar amp & cab simulations, lengedary EQ and compressor emulations, plus the extremely versatile AuraVerb reverb.

Portable – Covering The Needs Of The Whole Band

Current technologies have made sound recording as easy as grabbing a pen and pouring your feelings on paper. So producing your own music has become the contemporary equivalent of writing poetry.

Unlike the solitude that writing requires, music creation is usually a shared experience. And a creative jam with friends will require at least eight channels, packed in a portable interface that could easily fit in a backpack. A simple two or four-channel audio interface is no longer enough.

UNBEATABLE AMOUNT OF I/O

For A Device Of That Size With Zen Tour we have pushed the envelope once again. Antelope is offering not just a portable Thunderbolt™ & USB audio interface, but a pro piece, easily covering the needs of a small band. Zen Tour comes with 4 switchable Mic/Line inputs and 4 more HiZ/Line ins.

Two reamp outs and a Talkback button on the front panel put it in the spotlight of portable interfaces.

Custom FPGA Will Allow You To Create And Stream Multiple Complex Mixes And Process Audio With Zero Latency.
