With 8 inputs, including 4 switchable Mic/Line inputs and 4 HiZ/Line inputs, as well as digital ADAT & S/PDIF I/O for digital connectivity options, the unit meets what many expect from an Antelope Interface. Dual independent headphone outputs enable two musicians or a musician and engineer to listen in without additional breakout hardware. Dual monitor outputs enable A/B monitor switching, making it easy to reference two sources. Dual reamp outputs provide the ability for guitarists to utilize their favorite amp or for more experimental excursions, such as applying additional processing. A talkback button on the front panel adds to the pro versatilty.

Zen Tour employs the same parallel DSP processing capabilities found on Antelope Audio’s other studio intefaces, enabling low recording latency as well as the use of Antelope’s effects. These include guitar amp and cabinet simulations, an emulation of a well-known EQ, and the proprietary AuraVerb reverb. With Antelope’s Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) processing, guitar amplifiers have just about the same response of hardware.
