Antelope Zenith 2

Der Klang ist gut, allerdings sind die Potis deutlich wackelig und haben spürbares Spiel so als wären Sie nicht befestigt und man Wackelt direkt auf der Platine. Die Bedienelemente wirken insgesamt nicht besonders hochwertig. Die Bedienung ist teilweise umständlich, das Display sehr klein und schlecht ablesbar. An einer Docking-Station funktionierte das Gerät nicht zuverlässig, zudem reagiert es empfindlich auf Handy-Störungen

Außerdem braucht man mehrere Accounts um die Zusatzsoftware zu aktivieren unter anderem iLok

I’ve been using the Antelope Zenith 2 for both music production (Ableton) and live-related preparation, and overall I’m very satisfied with it.

The sound quality is excellent — converters and preamps are clean, detailed and definitely above average for this price range. My KRK monitors sound absolutely great: clear, powerful and well-defined. The workflow is also very smooth, and the built-in DSP is useful for quick setups and low-latency monitoring.

Another big plus is the compact design and USB-powered flexibility, which makes it very practical for mobile setups or smaller workstations.

However, one thing I noticed is related to the headphone output: even with the headphone mixers set to 100% and the volume knob at maximum, my Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm don’t really “stand out” in terms of volume. It works correctly, but I expected a bit more headroom for high-impedance headphones.

Overall, it’s a very solid interface with great sound and features, especially for producers and performers who want quality in a compact setup. Just keep in mind the headphone power if you’re using demanding headphones.
