Antelope Audio Edge Quadro Modelling Microphone
Antelope Audio Edge Quadro: Precision Quadrasonic Modeling Microphone
Dive deep into the world of three-dimensional sound recording with the Antelope Audio Edge Quadro, representing the zenith of microphone modeling technology. Its dual-head, quad-channel design is masterfully crafted to capture 360° audio with unparalleled clarity and depth.
Technical Attributes:
- Mic Architecture: A unique dual-head structure houses two expansive dual-membrane condenser capsules, complemented by a rotatable head. This delivers four distinct channels, paving the way for advanced stereo techniques like M/S, X/Y, Blumlein, and rich 3D sound.
- Mic Emulation Collection: The Edge Quadro offers an ever-growing library with an initial 11 revered microphone models, with an anticipated addition of 7 more. An intuitive control interface allows users to select two different mic emulations simultaneously for each microphone head.
- Adaptability: Experience fluidity as the upper head rotates without noise interruptions, even during active recording. Users can achieve a broad range of polar patterns: from cardioid and figure-8 to omnidirectional and configurations in between.
- Elegant Design: Beyond its technological marvel, the Edge Quadro is an aesthetic gem. It comes packaged with a bespoke shock mount and two high-grade oxygen-free copper Y-cables, all encased in a meticulously crafted wooden box that promises safety and oozes quality.
- Compatibility Assurance: While tailored for Antelope’s precision mic preamps and converters, Edge Quadro extends its prowess with native emulation plugins. This ensures compatibility with third-party audio interfaces and offers flexibility for post-recording modeling tweaks. The plugins are compatible across VST, AU, and AAX formats for both macOS and Windows.
Note: iLok 2 or 3 is required for plugin utilization, and it’s not included in the package.
