Antelope Zen Tour Portable Thunderbolt & USB Audio Interface

Now Included – Premium-Grade Mic Emulations

This interface now comes complete with a range of high-grade microphone emulations. Antelope Audio have incorporated some of the best mic emulations from their Verge and Edge modelling microphones. The emulations are designed to make your recordings sound like they were recorded on certain mics. For example, using the Berlin 47 FT emulation, you can achieve the authentic sound of one of the most popular microphones in history. The emulations range from classic vintage microphones, to modern-day mics.

Zero Latency Performance

The Zen Tour features the same, powerful Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that's found in Antelope Audio's best-selling professional studio devices. Combining portability with studio power, this technology provides the interface with massive parallel processing capabilities and the lowest latency levels on the market.

Enhanced Connectivity

While other portable interfaces offer either a decent amount of I/O channels or high-end DSP effects, the Zen Tour delivers you the best of both worlds. The Zen Tour features four switchable Mic/Line and four HiZ/Line inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O on ADAT and S/PDIF, two independent headphone amps and two separate pairs of monitor outputs. All of this results in an interface that's not only lightning fast but also compatible with any DAW as well, allowing you to seamlessly integrate it with your existing equipment.

Realistic Vintage FX

The custom FPGA is the perfect platform for creating multiple, zero latency mixes and applying an exciting stack of effects. The Zen Tour features Antelope Audio's brand new hardware-based guitar amp and cab simulations, classic Pultec EQ emulation and versatile AuraVerb reverb. These FPGA effects offer unbeatable authenticity and realism, while also removing the need to purchase expensive plugins.

Next Generation Control Software

Zen Tour can literally be controlled by your fingertips via the intuitive touch screen. Following Antelope's concept for networking, the OS X and Windows compatible software control panel allows you to manage all Zen Tour functions from multiple computers within the same network. Additionally, all the functions can also be controlled via the free iOS and Android app from your smartphone or tablet.
