Antelope Audio Zenith 2 Interface

From the flagship Galaxy Series to the compact Zen Series, Antelope Audio offers a wide range of industry-leading interfaces with class-leading AD/DA converters, advanced 64-bit clocking technology, and powerful DSP.

Now the brand is packing that same technology into an even smaller and more affordable device with the new Zenith 2 two-channel audio interface

With cutting-edge converters, two console-grade preamps, and a suite of powerful DSP effects, Zenith 2 delivers the professional sound and flexible features that Antelope Audio interfaces are known for.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes Antelope’s newest and smallest interface one of its best.

Like all Antelope Audio interfaces, Zenith 2 features the brand’s state-of-the-art converter technology, delivering up to 123 dB dynamic range to capture every detail of your recordings. It’s not all about dynamic range, though. The converters also help keep the noise to a minimum and ensure an ultra-wide, yet surprisingly focused stereo image.

As for inputs, Zenith 2 comes equipped with two of Antelope’s ultra-clean Discrete Series preamps, which use the same custom design as the best-selling Orion Studio interface. Inspired by legendary console circuits, these transparent preamps deliver up to 75 dB of gain, which is more than enough to handle any mic, including power-hungry dynamic mics.

No Antelope interface would be complete without some onboard effects, right? Well, don’t worry; Zenith 2 comes loaded with a suite of DSP-powered effects, including the Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, and De-Esser. With zero-latency tracking and simple OFF/1/2/3 intensity steps, these effects make it easy to quickly dial in professional-sounding recordings and mixes.

Best of all, Zenith 2 is super-simple to use. It’s class-compliant and bus-powered via USB-C, meaning you can start recording right out of the box on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices. Zenith 2 even features loopback monitoring, allowing you to effortlessly blend your mic, music, and system audio while live streaming.

Whether you’re just getting into recording or streaming, or are a professional looking for a high-quality desktop or portable interface, the Zenith 2 delivers big sound in a small package.
