- Integrated real-time DSP (Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, De-Esser) with OFF/1/2/3 intensity control, imperceptible latency in recording and streaming.
- USB-C bus-powered, class-compliant on Mac/Windows/iOS/Android, built-in loopback, dual independent headphone outputs.
The DNA of great consoles in a compact format
Zenith 2 brings professional studio quality to your desktop. Its architecture of discrete preamps and careful conversion recalls the circuits of renowned consoles, offering exemplary fidelity capture and a signal ready for mixing.
For demanding musicians, producers, and streamers
Whether you're recording vocals, guitars, or synths, or streaming live, Zenith 2 ensures a smooth workflow. The loopback simplifies mixing mic, music, and system audio for clean streaming, while the 75 dB gain effortlessly powers dynamic microphones favored by podcasters.
Key features and new additions
Precise conversion and responsive monitoring
With a dynamic range of up to 123 dB and imperceptible latency, you hear better and correct less. Recording and arrangement decisions become quicker and more confident.
Discrete preamps with high headroom
The two 6-transistor preamps capture every nuance with transparency, providing 75 dB gain for low-sensitivity microphones without needing an external booster.
Real-time DSP: from clean to colored in 4 steps
Instantly apply Tube-Opto Compressor, Sky EQ, and De-Esser. The OFF/1/2/3 positions allow you to sculpt the signal's color in a flash, ideal for recording and broadcasting.
Modern connectivity and driverless operation
Class-compliant and USB-C powered, the interface works as soon as it's plugged into a computer or mobile device. TRS monitor outputs, two independent headphone outputs, and MIDI I/O cover personal studio, rehearsal, and mobile creation.
