Portable 14x10 Interface

The Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core is a bus-powered 14-in/10-out USB-C audio interface built for creators, musicians and streamers who need professional I/O in a compact form. It delivers console-grade discrete preamps with up to 75 dB of gain and AD/DA converters reaching 130 dB dynamic range at 24-bit/192 kHz. Dual USB-C ports allow simultaneous connection to two host systems for flexible routing. Real-time DSP+FPGA effects processing is included for tracking and mixing.

Thermals and Power

Bus-powered operation means the unit draws all required current from the host USB-C connection, eliminating an external power supply. The compact chassis relies on passive cooling, so there are no fan noise concerns during typical desktop sessions. Low-noise preamp design keeps the self-noise floor minimal even at high gain settings. Power consumption scales with active channel count and DSP load but stays within standard USB-C bus limits.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Extended sessions with all 14 inputs active and multiple DSP+FPGA effects engaged keep the interface stable thanks to efficient thermal design. The dual-USB architecture maintains low-latency streaming to both hosts without dropouts during long recordings. Converter performance remains consistent at 24-bit/192 kHz across multi-hour captures. Preamps preserve their 75 dB gain headroom and low-noise character under continuous phantom power use.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Zen Quadro Synergy Core and which step is often missed?

Connect either USB-C port to a computer or mobile device for bus power and driver installation; the step often missed is selecting the interface as the system sound device in Windows, macOS, Android or iOS audio settings.

What maintenance or replacement will the Zen Quadro Synergy Core need later?

No user-serviceable parts are specified; keep firmware current via the control panel and protect the four discrete preamps and AD/DA converters from phantom-power spikes and dust.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the Zen Quadro Synergy Core?

Bus-powered operation caps total current draw, so running all 14 inputs and 10 outputs at 24-bit/192 kHz with 75 dB preamp gain may hit the USB power budget before thermal limits.
