The turning point for your recordings Zen Go Synergy Core is our first ever bus-powered desktop interface packed with tech featured only in high-end professional studios, giving you instant access to premium sound quality even at home. Its vast library of Synergy Core analog-modeled effects lets you shape your sound with precision and character – all while monitoring directly with imperceptible latency. Whether you have access to a high-end studio or are working from home, the Zen Go Synergy Core shrinks the sound-quality gap between artists, engineers, and producers. The core technologies that landed our premium devices in some of the most respected recording studios are now in a much smaller format. Class-leading AD/DA conversion The converters offer up to 127dB of headroom and provide extended detail in the low-end, and sonic bliss found only in the most sophisticated studios. Discrete console-grade preamps The ultra-linear console-grade transistor topology allows for recording with the highest fidelity and resolution, whilst sounding warm and musical on every source. 64-bit AFC™ technology The 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking™ technology is taken straight from our master clocks that have scored Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters and power some of the most prestigious studios around the globe. SYNERGY CORE COLLECTIONRecord with the sound of legends We carefully picked a fine selection of 37 of the most useful and sought-after effects and included them with every Zen Go Synergy Core.

Beyond the 37 free effects, the ever-expanding Synergy Core library offers over 50 more as optional expansions – including emulations of classics such as Grove Hill’s Liverpool and Gyratec’s legendary EQs, as well as third-party effects such as Antares’ Auto-Tune and Inertia’s Instinct.
