From input to output, the Zen Q is designed to help you grow to a bigger setup without losing the desktop size format. The ultra-linear preamps and pristine AD/DA conversion give you professional quality in the studio or on the go – all in a compact package. Add to that its generous connectivity and real-time onboard effects, and you’ll be up to almost any task – whether you want to record, mix, master, stream, or just play. With its pairs of headphone outputs, preamps, and instrument inputs, the Zen Q interface was built with collaboration in mind. Flexible routing and switchable inputs unlock a wealth of possible setups. Four simultaneous Hi-Z instruments and two pairs of monitors? No problem. Four balanced analog outboard inserts? You got it. If you need even more inputs, hook up any ADAT-compatible preamp with up to eight additional channels, and you’re ready to record a full band live. The stereo input and output over S/PDIF can be used to add an outboard effect, record a digital hardware synth, or send a high-quality clocking signal to the rest of your studio. Product Features/Specifications: Extensive connectivity: It all starts with the bus-powered connectivity – 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. Console-grade Preamps: For our discrete preamps we use a combination of transistors that results in maximum noise reduction and, most importantly, precise sound capture. Signature clocking & conversion: The 64-bit AFC clocking and AD/DA converters give the stereo image more detail and a sense of spaciousness. This gives your recordings stand-out sound quality and makes the Zen Q ideal for mastering. From studio to studio: The portable design of the Zen Q means you can carry it in your backpack and take it on tour with you or any on-location recording session. Work at the speed of sound: Unleash the true power of the Zen Q by creating custom monitor and headphone mixes, combining device inputs and DAW outputs with real-time analog-modeled Synergy Core FX – all that from an intuitive control panel. Handy Loopback: The built-in loopback feature lets you livestream a complete mix to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and more. 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. Easy routing: The signal routing is as versatile as it is intuitive, and any configuration can be stored and recalled as a preset.
