Product Overview
The Antelope Zen Tour is a Thunderbolt and USB portable audio interface. Zen Tour comes with four switchable Mic/Line inputs and four HiZ/Line ins. Two preamp outs and a Talkback button on the front panel put it in the spotlight of portable interfaces. Get creative with Antelope’s brand new hardware-based FPGA effects. These include guitar amp & cab simulations, legendary EQ and compressor emulations, plus the extremely versatile AuraVerb reverb.
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.
Zen Tour includes the full Antelope Audio arsenal of hardware-based FPGA FX for a variety of authentic zero latency Vintage EQs, Compressors and Guitar Amp & Cabinet Models. Use them for real time tracking or mixing, then easily save preset setups to be recalled at your convenience.
