Antelope Zen Go Synergy Core
A pro-tier bus-powered USB-C interface with a 4-in/8-out layout, two mic inputs, phantom power, and loopback. Its standout is 37 onboard Synergy Core effects for processing as you track. Best for producers who want studio FX baked into a portable box. Skip it if you want plug-and-play simplicity, since the FX ecosystem carries a learning curve.
