2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Zen Studio+

from Antelope Audio.

Zen Studio+ is the successor to Antelope’s

world-renowned professional portable

interface Zen Studio. Its extended analog

and digital connectivity, 12 world-class mic

pres and Antelope’s signature clocking are

now accompanied by an evolving library of

hardware-based vintage effects. With both

Thunderbolt™ and USB connectivity,

Zen Studio+ is a the ultimate and most

versatile mobile recording system.

Zen Studio+ comes with a growing arsenal

of vintage FPGA-based effects, among which

EQs, compressors, guitar amps and cabinets.

The key to the Zen Studio+ modeling power

is its custom FPGA chip. This proprietary

technology makes the interface times more

powerful than similar devices. You can not

only create and maintain multiple mixes, but

also reach the sound of legendary studios and

hardware classics while exclusively working

in-the-box.

The interface features an integrated

Talkback function, allowing easy and fast

communication between recordings artists,

the engineer and the producer. Zen Studio+

offers dedicated Reamp outs, making it a

preferred choice not only for mobile recordists

and traveling artists, but for pro guitarists as

well. This portable interface is also equipped

with a 10MHz Atomic Clock Input for the most

stable type of clocking – all in the name of

reaching the perfect sound.

Zen Studio+ is fully controllable via an

intuitive desktop application for PC and

Mac, offering ﬂexible signal routing and

customizable presets. Users can create up to

four independent, zero-latency mixes, which

are assignable to any output, including the

two independent headphone outputs and the

monitor outputs.
