Antelope Audio Edge Note Single Modelling Microphone

The Antelope Audio Edge Note is a groundbreaking modeling microphone designed to elevate your recording capabilities. This versatile studio tool allows you to tap into the sound characteristics of over a dozen classic microphone models, opening up a world of creative possibilities. Whether you’re a musician, sound engineer, or studio owner, the Edge Note offers exceptional recording flexibility with its high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and essential features like Pad attenuation and a High-pass filter.

Advanced Mic Modeling Technology:

The Edge Note harnesses cutting-edge mic modeling technology, enabling you to replicate the sonic qualities of iconic microphone models. You can apply these emulations natively within your DAW or in real time via FPGA processing on compatible Antelope interfaces.

High SPL Handling:

With an impressive SPL handling capability of 146 dB, the Edge Note excels at capturing loud sources such as drums, guitars, and brass instruments without risking distortion or clipping. The included Pad attenuator, offering -10 dB and -20 dB options, ensures pristine audio quality even in high-volume recording scenarios.

Versatile and Stylish Design:

Its compact size and sleek matte black finish make the Edge Note an attractive addition to your studio setup. Moreover, it is fully compatible with third-party audio interfaces, though optimized for seamless integration with Antelope Audio discrete technology preamps.

Mic Emulations for Authenticity:

The Edge Note boasts 13 meticulously crafted microphone emulations, delivering the characteristics of renowned microphones used in classic recordings from various eras. Whether you’re using an Antelope interface or native plug-in emulation in your DAW, these emulations faithfully capture the essence of their vintage counterparts.

Transparent Recording:

The microphone’s flat frequency response ensures a transparent and clean signal capture, ideal for reproducing the nuances of acoustic instruments like guitars and cellos. It avoids undue frequency boosts, allowing the mic emulations to preserve the original microphone’s tonal qualities.

Essential Features:

The Edge Note features a Cardioid polar pattern, suitable for a wide range of recording scenarios. Its frequency response spans from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the entire audible spectrum. The Pad attenuation switch (-10 dB and -20 dB) and High-pass filter switch (75 Hz and 115 Hz) provide valuable tools for managing proximity effects and reducing low-frequency rumble.

Durable Build and Accessories:

Housed in a robust metal body with a black-matte finish, the Edge Note is both stylish and durable. It comes complete with a shock mount holder to eliminate unwanted vibrations and simplify positioning. The microphone operates with 48V DC Phantom Power.
