In this video I’m giving away an Antelope Audio Zen Quadro Synergy Core (worth around $700), and before I tell you how to enter, I walk you through my top five favorite features—because if you’re coming from a typical desktop interface, some of this is genuinely a bit revolutionary. I start with the practical stuff: the I/O. You’ve got four XLR combo inputs (two are Hi-Z for guitars), ADAT expandability for up to eight more inputs, plus S/PDIF—so you can build this into a surprisingly capable home-studio hub. On the output side, the two front headphone jacks are a big deal because you can run two independent headphone mixes, separate from your monitor mix. Then I get into what matters for “releasable mixes at home”: the preamps and conversion. The four discrete preamps are high gain/low noise, and Antelope’s preamps are honestly some of my favorites among interfaces I’ve tested. The converters are the same ones used in their flagship Galaxy range, and yes—you can hear the difference when you step up to that level. From there, I show why I like the console software (simple but deep), and the onboard effects: 37 effects running on the interface, virtually latency-free, plus a “comfort reverb” that’s perfect while performing. My number one feature is the dual USB-C design—two interfaces in one—so you can connect a computer and an iOS/Android device for modern workflows like streaming or podcasting.
