Hear more, fix less. 

Zenith 2’s delivers up to a staggering 123 dB of dynamic range - the kind of performance that reveals subtle textures, vast depth, and razor-sharp transients. The pro-studio design ensures ultra-low noise and wide, accurate stereo imaging. What you capture will be incredible, detailed, and sonically true - providing the best possible starting point for your creative process.

Console DNA, at your desk.

The fully Discrete 6-transistor mic preamps are inspired by legendary console circuits - the exact same architecture found in Antelope’s professional studio interfaces. Ultra-transparent and faithful, they capture your source material with perfect fidelity - the ideal foundation for post-production. With an expansive 75dB of clean gain, they are powerful enough to run any microphone - even hungry dynamic mics used by streamers and podcasters - without needing an external booster.

Real-time shine for tracks and streams.

Track, perform, or monitor with no perceivable latency using the integrated DSP effects. Dial up professional tone instantly with the Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, and De-Esser, using the simple OFF/1/2/3 intensity steps.
