Studio Grade Mic Pres and 20 Analog Inputs

Musicians, Engineers and Sound Designers to Capture Pristine Audio While 'On the Go'
Santa Monica, Calif., June 26, 2014 — Leading professional audio gear manufacturer
Antelope Audio announced that its widely anticipated Zen Studio multi-channel recording
interface is now shipping. Priced at $2,495, Zen Studio is a multi-faceted, portable audio
interface with best-in-class analog and digital connectivity. Measuring just 16.8" / 418 mm
wide and constructed in an attractive and durable housing, the Zen Studio delivers 'world
class' capabilities to audio professionals who want to capture outstanding, studio-quality
recordings in any location.
A fully featured recording interface complete with Antelope's industry standard clocking
technology and a built-in monitoring section, Zen Studio consists of 12 studio grade mic pres,

Supreme sound
While the Zen is diminutive in size, it delivers stunning audio quality with 12 studio grade
microphone preamplifiers, Antelope Audio's Acoustically Focused Clocking jitter management
algorithm and A/D & D/A conversion technology. This combination makes it the most
authentic analog-sounding interface on the market. The unit's custom USB and conversion
technologies are identical to that of the top-selling 32-channel Orion32 interface, which is a
centerpiece in the playback rigs for artists such as Rihanna, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, and
integral to the mixing and mastering studios of engineers like Eric Sarafin (aka Mixerman),
Brian Vibberts, Howie Weinberg or electronic music producers like Robert Babicz and Dusty
Kid.
Power and flexibility
In addition to world class, studio-grade audio quality, Zen Studio offers an extremely powerful
DSP, based on a custom FPGA device with massive parallel processing capabilities. This allows
fast and easy simultaneous processing of multiple effects, enhancing the workflow like no
other device on the market.
Unrivalled versatility
All audio I/O is available simultaneously for a total of 38 possible input and 14 outputs
(including headphone outs), plus 24 simultaneous I/O channels via custom USB, supporting
24-bit, 192 kHz audio. Users can create up to four independent zero-latency mixes assignable
to any outputs, including the two independent headphone outputs and monitor outputs. The
unit is fully controllable using an intuitive desktop application on both PC and Mac, offering
flexible signal routing and DSP-based effects along with custom presets.
Zen Studio delivers unparalleled quality and portability for the modern recordists. Its feature
set makes it flexible for almost any recording and playback application, and its size makes it
suitable for just about any location. For more information, please visit the Antelope Audio site
