Bus-powered
Connectivity is key, that is why you only need a USB or Thunderbolt cable and a computer to start the show. The multipurpose inputs and the digital ports allow you to change things on the fly and expand your setup easily.
Class-leading AD/DA conversion
The converters offer up to 127dB of headroom and provide extended detail in the low-end, and sonic bliss found only in the most sophisticated studios.
User-friendly controls
Prepare for a session quick and easy with the software Control Panel. Set up your routing from a simple drop-down menu and customize your monitoring mixes with adjustable volume, pan, and reverb.
Switchable inputs
The two combo XLR jacks give you the flexibility to choose between Discrete console-grade mic preamps, line level and Hi-Z instrument inputs which are easily switchable from the front panel.
Loopback function for streaming
Send your monitoring mixes containing any signal source from the audio interface's inputs and OS/DAW playback, back into your computer's virtual inputs for easy setup of online broadcasting.
Session recall
For every individual recording scenario, you can save session files and create exact snapshots of all your settings so you can load them later without losing your progress.
The Sound of Legends
A carefully-picked selection of 37 of the most useful and sought-after effects are included with every Zen Go Synergy Core. This free library of analog-modeled compressors, EQs, mic preamps, guitar amps & cabs, along with our signature AuraVerb, gives you all the tools you'll need to create stunning, sonically rich productions without spending any extra money.
