Antelope Audio Zenith 2 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface

The Antelope Audio Zenith 2 is a powerful entry-level audio interface that delivers studio-grade sound and professional features in a desktop-friendly format. Two console-style discrete preamps provide pristine sound for microphones, line inputs, and guitars, while state-of-the-art AD/DA conversion ensures ample headroom and ultra-low noise floor. Integrated DSP powers real-time effects including EQ, tube compression, and a de-esser for polished, radio-ready sound on every track. On top of it all, handy features like seamless streaming, class-compliant USB-C, and Loopback routing simplify content creation and mobile workflows. Combining impressive sound, features, and value, the Antelope Audio Zenith 2 USB-C audio interface is the perfect tool for home studios and creators on the go.

STATE-OF-THE-ART AD/DA CONVERSION

With advanced AD/DA converters, the Antelope Audio Zenith 2 delivers crystal-clear audio with accurate stereo imaging, ensuring that every detail of your sound translates to any listening environment. With up to 123 dB of dynamic range and support for 32‑Bit/192 kHz operation, the Zenith 2's converters make headroom and distortion non-issues. Use higher sample rates when you need maximum fidelity for recording, mixing, and mastering, or take advantage of standard quality to ensure smooth live streaming. In terms of sound quality, this mighty desktop audio interface holds its own against products many times its price.

ULTRA CLEAN, CONSOLE-GRADE PREAMPS

The Zenith 2 features two of the same discrete, six-transistor mic preamps found in Antelope’s flagship Orion Series interfaces. Delivering up to 75 dB of gain with low noise and transparent sound, the Zenith 2's preamps easily handle condenser, ribbon, and dynamic mics without external boosters. Dual XLR/TRS combo jacks let you plug in guitars or line-level instruments, and easily accessible controls let you toggle between Mic/Line/Hi-Z mode, engage phantom power for condensers, and adjust gain levels on the fly. Antelope's console-grade preamps ensure every track starts with full, clean, and detailed sound.

TUBE-OPTO COMPRESSOR, SKY EQ, AND DE-ESSER EFFECTS POWERED BY BUILT-IN DSP

Onboard DSP effects include Antelope Audio's Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, and Master De-esser: a virtual channel strip you can use to enhance any track in real time. The optical-style compressor offers smooth dynamics control and vintage tube character for instruments, vocals, voiceover, and livestreaming. Sky EQ provides a high-frequency lift that adds clarity, openness, and presence without harshness. The Master De-esser tames sibilance in vocals and speech so every word comes through clearly. The Zenith 2's integrated DSP effects are controlled via a four-step intensity dial for quick customization, and because the DSP doesn't use your computer's CPU, you can use them all in real time without slowing down your system.

SEAMLESS STREAMING

The Zenith 2 USB audio interface enables professional live streaming and streamlines live content creation with USB-C connectivity and a versatile Loopback feature. Easily balance your microphone and instrument inputs with your computer sound, DAW output, and audio from apps like OBS, Twitch, and YouTube to deliver a high-quality mix for streaming. Two independent 1/4\" headphone outputs let you and one collaborator hear whatever you need to hear, while MIDI I/O and flexible routing support external keyboards, controllers, and instruments. This powerful USB-C audio interface lets you reach your audience with studio-quality sound and zero hassle.

WORKFLOW AND COMPATIBILITY

Designed for easy setup, versatility, and reliable operation, the Antelope Audio Zenith 2 adapts to any home recording, podcasting, or livestreaming workflow. Class-compliant operation and USB bus power ensure plug-and-play compatibility with macOS, iOS, Windows, or Android devices using only a USB cable (works with a standard USB-C cable or USB-A adapter). The front-panel controls and software control panel let you save presets, recall DSP settings, and route signals quickly, while the included software bundle gives you immediate access to recording and mixing tools.
