Antelope's renowned sound quality goes portable with the Zen Tour! This Thunderbolt/USB desktop interface gives you massive I/O and amazing FPGA FX modeling.

Antelope Audio packed all their innovative technologies in the next-level portable audio interface Zen Tour. With 8 analog ins (4 guitar/ line, 4 mic/line) and 16 analog outs, Zen Tour can fit in any studio or creative environment -- from home project studios, to live setups and high-budget productions.

Unlike any device in its class, Zen Tour also offers 2 balanced monitor output pairs, 8 line-outs on D-Sub, two independent stereo headphone outs and 2 mono Reamp outs. Digital I/O comes on ADAT and S/PDIF lifting the total channel count of Zen Tour to 32 via Thunderbolt and 24 via its custom USB.

The interface features Antelope's own breed of FPGA-based audio effects, carrying the true sound of legendary studio gear. Classic and contemporary guitar amps & cabs, compressors and EQs are now right there on your desk. Zen Tour's more than user-friendly with its compact size, desktop and mobile app control, touchscreen display, integrated talkback mic and a big volume knob.

'm simply LOVING the Zen Tour. It's marketed as a portable device, but it has all the I/O I need for my small studio. Of course, the best thing about it is the sound! Pristine conversion, silent operation, gorgeous sound and plugins; you've engineered a beautiful circuit here. I had to adjust the crossover settings on my monitors to compensate for the bass response! Now I'm competitive with larger studios all iWho'd have imagined a box like this would ever exist just a few years ago! Oh, and of course, it's portable! Only criticism is the lack of word clock out. But, I suppose that is on par with the price point. It's just sad not to get Antelope clocking throughout my whole rack! Hence, the 4 stars on features. Overall, this thing is a game changer! You won't be able to get mastering grade conversion and sound for close to this price. Also, zZounds is the best!

Musical Background:

Mastering and authoring engineer, guitarist, all part time

Musical Style:

Crunch Metal, blues and jazz mostly
