Antelope Audio Edge Solo Modeling Microphone

Full Description

Capture The Sound Of The Most Iconic Microphones

The Edge Solo builds on the success of the original Edge microphone, with a revamped visual identity that retains the high-end audio fidelity. The large-diaphragm condenser microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, making it ideal for vocal recordings as well as instruments.

This high-end modelling microphone allows you to tap into sounds from the past and present. The Edge Solo is designed as the perfect source to model any vintage cardioid-pattern microphone.

Exceptional Sonic Clarity and Audio Performance

The premium-grade six-micron gold-sputtered membrane and low-resonance body optimise the audio performance of the mic. This also includes a low reflection headbasket for optimal sonic clarity and decolouration. The streamlined design features a fixed cardioid pattern, feeding into a single mono XLR input channel on your interface. This makes it simple to setup and operate, simply plug it in, pick an emulations and admire the sound.

Antelope Audio’s award-winning engineers have meticulously designed the Edge Solo. The Edge series of microphones in a league of their own, utilising extensive testing to ensure accurate and natural sound reproduction.

18 Premium-Grade Mic Emulations

The Edge Solo comes complete with a range of high-grade microphone emulations. It features 18 mic emulations in total, comprised of some of the most sought-after microphones from music history. The emulations are designed to make your recordings sound like they were recorded on various classic microphones. For example, using the Berlin 47 FT emulation, you can achieve the authentic sound of one of the most popular microphones in history. The emulations range from classic vintage microphones, to modern-day mics.

Optimised For Use With Antelope Audio Preamps

The Antelope Audio Edge Solo microphone is designed to be used with Antelope Audio's Discrete preamp interfaces. The interfaces feature FPGA Accusonic modeling. The software features detailed real-time emulations of classic condenser microphones. The software allows you to choose from an array of different mics to perform with. The Edge Solo microphone can accurately emulate different polar patterns, off-axis response, and proximity effect, allowing you to get a different range of tones from one microphone.

What sets the Edge Solo apart from everyone else is that it runs real-time on the FPGA. This means you can audition different microphones, and switch between them in real-time. It is especially handy if you already have a singer or performer in the recording booth, but don't want to keep changing microphones. Using the Accusonic 3D modeling software allows you to switch between different microphones, and microphone preamps.

Robust, Sleek Design Complete With Accessories

Building on the success of the original Edge microphone, the Edge Solo has a new visual identity, with its contemporary style design. The robust all-metal construction uses the highest quality components to achieve the studio-grade audio performance. The integrated mesh grille helps to protect the condenser capsule and other components.

The Edge Solo microphone also comes complete with a highly durable carrying case. The case helps to keep your microphone protected whilst on the move. Also included is a standard 3-pin XLR cable, to get you started.
