Antelope Zenith 2 Overview

The Antelope Zenith 2 is a 2×2 USB-C bus-powered audio interface with a small design, intended to support modern creative portable workflows. With discrete 6-transistor preamps taken from the Origin Studio SC and 123 dB of dynamic range in AD/DA conversion, the Zenith 2 delivers professional-quality sound in a pocket-sized device.

The integrated DSP channel strip includes the famous Tube-Opto Compressor and Sky EQ controls, each of which has three configurable multi-level character settings. You may effortlessly load presets, move from Clean to Bold EQ, and adjust compressor settings while monitoring with zero latency. The interface has two separate 1/4″ TRS headphone outputs, two 1/4″ TRS monitor outputs, two XLR-1/4″ TRS combo inputs with 48V phantom power and a selectable Hi-Z mode, and MIDI 5-pin DIN I/O. The Zenith 2 has loopback capabilities, which are great for OBS, Twitch, and YouTube broadcasting.

Along with its compatibility with Android and iOS devices, the Zenith 2 is a wonderful solution for musicians and multimedia makers on the go. The maximum sampling rate is 32-bit / 192 kHz, resulting in high-quality sound with virtually no distortion. The Zenith 2 comes with recording and mixing software to get you started.

DNA console, located at your workstation.

The completely discrete 6-transistor mic preamps are inspired by classic console circuits and share the same design as Antelope’s professional studio interfaces. They record your source material with exquisite quality, providing a superb basis for post-production. With an impressive 75dB of clean gain, they can power any microphone, including the demanding dynamic microphones used by streamers and podcasters, without the need for an additional booster.

Real-time illumination for tracks and streams.

Using the embedded DSP effects, you may track, perform, or observe without experiencing any delay. The Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, and De-Esser provide quick professional tone with easy OFF/1/2/3 intensity increments. The strong loopback function allows you to easily combine audio for professional live broadcasting. It is strong, speedy, and designed for first-time makers.

Fan-favorite FX for instant color

Tube-Opto Compressor

Use a few hand-tuned presets to achieve vintage tube-optimized warmth. Inspired by renowned 1960s broadcast gear, it smoothes out your voice, provides soft musical glue, and can be pushed for fuller analog bite on your voices, streams, or voice-overs.

Sky EQ

Achieve expensive-sounding highs with a quick “Sky” band. Simply adjust the amount to get gloss, clarity, and presence without harshness, allowing your voices, guitars, and percussion to shine above the mix with smooth, polished glitter.

Master De-esser

With just a few clever settings, you can reduce harsh “s” noises and sharp highs. This simple de-esser smoothes out your voices while keeping them bright and clear. It also regulates cymbals and other high-frequency sounds for a clean, studio-ready finish.
