This ensures sound and behavior that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing—with near-zero latency, and zero strain on your computer’s CPU.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eZen Quadro comes with 37 legendary compressors, EQs, guitar amps and cabs, modulation effects and more, that can be applied in real-time during recording, streaming or live performances. Up to 48 mono effect instances can be loaded on 6 input chains simultaneously, putting the power of a complex multi-rack setup on your desktop.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt any time, you can expand your collection with more real-time effects such as Antares’ Auto-Tune Synergy and Grove Hill's Liverpool, available as additional purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevolutionary Dual-USB design The Zen Quadro’s dual USB-C ports unlock a new world of possibilities for creators of all kinds. It’s like having two interfaces in one – freely route signals and create mixes between the two USB connections, using Mac, PC, iOS (USB-C) or Android devices together. The convenient loopback makes it great for streaming, and the secondary port can charge your mobile device while the primary port provides power for the Zen Quadro.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnhanced Standalone Functionality for Live and Touring Take the studio on the road with bus-powered USB-C connectivity alongside a durable metal enclosure.  With complete standalone operation, you can easily access routing and mixer controls through the color display, and recall settings and real-time FX chains, making it ideal for live performances. The secondary USB-C port even allows collaboration between duo live acts that are using two computers on stage!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eFlexible Connectivity for Your Entire Studio\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour mic\/line inputs, two instrument inputs, ADAT input and S\/PDIF I\/O are at your disposal to record a total of up to 14 inputs simultaneously. On top of the monitor outs, you also get an additional pair of line outs to connect a second pair of speakers or use them for outboard processing. The second headphone out has an independent mixer, so 2 people can listen to different cue mixes at the same time. The DC-coupled I\/O can also send and receive control voltage (CV) signals and allow the Zen Quadro to be part of a modular synth setup.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnalog\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003cul\u003e             \u003cli\u003eAnalog Inputs                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 x Mic \/ Line Inputs (DC-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 x Mic \/ Line \/ Hi-Z Inputs (DC-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eAnalog Outputs                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 x Monitor Out on TRS jacks, +20 dBu max (DC-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 x Line Out on TRS jacks, +20 dBu max (DC-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 x Stereo Headphone Outputs\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eMic Preamp                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eEIN: -128 dBu (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eMax input: +20 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eMax Gain: 75 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eA\/D Converter                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 122 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eTHD + N: -116 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eD\/A Monitor Converter                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 130 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eTHD + N: -115 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eD\/A Converter (Line Out)                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 130 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eTHD + N: -115 dB\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e         \u003c\/ul\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDigital\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003cul\u003e             \u003cli\u003eDigital Inputs                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e1 x ADAT input (up to 8ch @ 44.1\/48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e1 x S\/PDIF (2ch.)\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eDigital Outputs                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e1 x S\/PDIF (2ch.)\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eUSB 1                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 Type-C connector\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e16 channels of playback and recording, 24-bit \/ 192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Windows and macOS\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eUSB 2                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 Type-C connector\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e2 channels of playback and recording, 24-bit \/ 192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eSupports reverse charging for mobile devices\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Windows, macOS, Android* and iOS* (USB-C) devices\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eClocking System                 \u003cul\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e4th Generation Acoustically Focused Clocking\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003e64-bit DDS\u003c\/li\u003e                     \u003cli\u003eSample Rates (kHz): 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192\u003c\/li\u003e                 \u003c\/ul\u003e             \u003c\/li\u003e         \u003c\/ul\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003cul\u003e             \u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: 0-50°C, 32-122°F\u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eWeight (Approx): 0.9 kg\/ 1.98 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eDimensions -
