Outstanding audio quality
The Antelope recipe for great-sounding audio
When it comes right down to it, all the flexibility in the world doesn't do you any good if audio quality is lacking; fortunately, Zen Studio's Acoustically Focused Clocking delivers the most analog-sounding audio conversion we've heard, with clean transients, stunning clarity, and detail that let you really hear the attack of instruments and vocals. Antelope's renowned clocking and conversion technology, together with the custom USB technology in the Zen Studio, are the same as in the acclaimed 32-channel Orion interface — a fixture in world-class studios and the playback rigs of top artists.

Perfect for Tracking, Too
Record a small band or complete drum kit
With its outstanding audio quality, flexibility, and portability, the Zen Studio is a natural for EDM producers who work in multiple studio facilities or challenging environments to use in place of a console, but its generous I/O, 12 great-sounding mic pres, DSP EQ and dynamics, and onboard monitoring facilities also make it a logical choice for tracking a small band or multi-mic drum setup. All the audio I/O is available simultaneously, for a total of 38 input and 32 output channels, plus 24 concurrent I/O channels via Zen Studio's 24-bit/192kHz custom USB.

12 great-sounding mic preamps
Simultaneous I/O up to 38 inputs/32 outputs
24 concurrent I/O channels via USB
