![]() This appears to be another canny product by Antelope, hopefully keeping other players in the market on their toes.Īntelope haven’t announced a price for the Zen Studio+ yet, but if the existing Zen Studio cost around 2,000 – 2,500 EUR, I think we can expect a similar price for this new interface. UAD are obviously the first point of call if you’re after a DSP solution, but their tech is also due an update and is fairly pricey. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if they continue to develop and release more emulations and plug-ins. The DSP is a key difference between the Zen Studio+ and Focusrite units, for example. This would have increased the channel count significantly and given rise for more applications with live sound users. Is there anything else they could have included in this new release? As I’m frequently saying at the moment, it’s interesting to see they’ve opted out of adding any AoIP technology. If you don’t need the Thunderbolt connectivity or the guitar re-amping, then the original unit now looks even more interesting. ![]() However, this release will also push down the price of the original Zen Studio. I remember when the Zen Studio first came out how impressed my colleagues and I were with it on paper. I’ve been really tempted by several of Antelope’s products for a while, and this release strengthens my interest in their products even further. The inclusion of their DSP effects with the Zen Studio+ is major attraction here for guitarists and audio professionals alike. ![]() The transformer-based guitar re-amp outputs are very interesting, highlighting once again Antelope’s attention to guitar players and bands. The new Thunderbolt port is the big one here, as we are seeing a significant rise in demand for this low latency connection. ![]() The key points are the dual connectivity options of Thunderbolt and USB, guitar re-amp outputs and – presumably – more DSP power. What’s new? Well, there isn’t a massive difference compared to the original red Zen Studio, perhaps because it was already a feature-full product.
