Antelope Audio Edge Solo Modelling Microphone

18 RENOWNED MICROPHONES IN A SINGLE FRAME

The Edge Solo, a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern, offers pristine recordings compatible with any interface or preamp. Designed for multifaceted recording needs, its distinct feature lies in Antelope Audio’s unique Modeling Engine. This technology grants access to 18 iconic mic emulations, ensuring versatility for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, and more, whether in home studios or professional setups.

Key Features:

• Precision-engineered condenser microphone for high-definition audio.
• Versatile 18 mic emulations for advanced tonal modification.
• Consistent cardioid pickup pattern.
• Intuitive software designed for productive workflows.

Performance and Clarity Combined

With minimal self-noise and a high SPL, the Edge Solo houses a 6-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm. This, combined with its low-resonance body and minimized reflection head basket, ensures ultra-responsive transients, balanced frequency outputs, and an impressive dynamic range for unadulterated recordings.

Emulate and Adapt

Beyond its inherent sound clarity, the Edge Solo can replicate 18 celebrated microphones, from classic dynamics to time-tested Tube & FET large-diaphragm condensers. Developed in collaboration with premier European facilities, Antelope Audio meticulously measured and tested an array of legendary mics, both vintage and modern, to create these precise emulations, amplifying the mic’s versatility for any recording scenario.

Revolutionizing the Recording Paradigm

Antelope Audio’s objective with the Edge Solo and its modeling mic range is twofold: provide varied sonic profiles within one device and introduce innovative recording functionalities. This concept simplifies workflow by allowing on-the-fly emulation switches during both recording and post-production phases. Integrated with an Antelope Audio interface, users can experience almost zero latency during tracking or choose to record raw and modify the sound in post-production via native emulation plugins compatible with all major DAWs. *iLok 2 or 3 necessary for native plugin usage.
