Edge Duo Modeling Microphone Overview by Vocal Coach – Robert LunteYael Na?m recording “Shine” with Edge Duo and Orion StudioEdge Solo Modeling Microphone Overview by Vocal Coach – Robert LunteBuilt to serve high-tech mic emulations and provide multipattern pickup for incredible versatility, the Antelope Edge Duo is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone bundled with software models of 18 coveted dynamic, ribbon, and condenser microphones. Resultingly, it gives musicians, producers, and project studio engineers access to an impressive virtual mic locker and the luxury of “swapping” mics and polar patterns in an instant, even after the recording.
With its dual-membrane, dual-output construction, the microphone offers multiple polar patterns while facilitating accurate on- and off-axis response, one that you can better tweak across two channels thanks to its multiple outputs. An included oxygen-free copper cable makes the connection from the mic’s 5-pin output to two 3-pin XLR terminations. Additionally, it comes with a vibration-inhibiting shockmount and a pop filter that helps reduce pops from vocal plosives.Built for High ResolutionThe Edge Duo is a multipattern, large dual-diaphragm condenser microphone, capable of 3-dimensional, high-resolution sound recordings. This innovative device can transform its behavior, color, frequency, and transient response into 18 different iconic microphones that are still used in some of the most sophisticated recording studios. Thanks to its dual-diaphragm design and unique Modeling Engine, the Edge Duo allows for real-time polar pattern alterations during recording and mixing.Dual-Diaphragm Condenser CapsuleEven before loading any emulations, the Edge Duo is designed to effortlessly deliver an intimately detailed presence that can push any track to the front of your mix. The capsule is fitted with two of Antelope’s signature 6-micron, gold-sputtered membranes and the body is equipped with custom electronics for high-grade sound performance and flexibility.Virtual Mic LockerThe Edge Duo gives you access to 18 carefully selected classic microphones. We’ve assembled a diverse collection of revered models that were hand-selected as the top picks for many award-winning engineers and producers. The Edge Duo will elevate your tracking capabilities on par with studios that have invested thousands in rare vintage microphone collections, while Antelope’s ever-growing library of emulations will continue to expand your home studio.Modeling EngineWhat makes the Edge Duo such a special recording tool is the Modeling Engine, a futuristic technology that brings a selection of timeless classics to your studio. To develop it, Antelope worked with several revered European facilities, making rigorous measurements and testing multiple exquisitely preserved vintage microphones as well as modern high-end classics. The accuracy of their mic emulations keeps the frequency response and color of the originals in a complete 360¡ã coverage. The dual-diaphragm design of the Edge Duo is what allows you to adjust the polar patterns of the emulations directly from the software in real time.Choose Your WorkflowThe Edge Duo has been designed for efficiency and versatility. The Modeling Engine saves studio time and maintains the creative dynamic in fast-paced recording sessions. It lets you change your choice of microphone in real time with a click of a button, without ever having to disturb the recording process, or record clean and try out different models in the mixing phase.
Although the Edge Duo works with any preamp, pairing it with the Discrete preamps of Antelope’s Synergy Core interfaces unlocks the full potential of the real-time microphone emulations. When processed by their onboard Synergy Core platform, you can track with the emulations while enjoying imperceptible latency and zero CPU load.Flexible ToolsThe Edge Duo works with any preamp with 48V phantom power and is for anyone that needs one microphone to record a variety of sources. It excels with any type of audio, from vocals, guitars, and drum overheads to speech applications, such as voice over, dubbing, and audio books.
The microphone emulations are available in VST, AU, and AAX plug-in formats for all popular DAWs under both macOS and Windows, regardless of the audio interface being used. An iLok 2 or 3 USB dongle is required.Emulations Included:BERLIN 47FTBERLIN 47TUBERLIN 49TBERLIN 57BERLIN 67BERLIN 87BERLIN K86BERLIN/HALSKE M25BERLIN M251BERLIN V563BERLIN M103ILLINOIS 7BMINNESOTA 20OXFORD 4038TOKYO 800TVIENNA 12VIENNA 414SACRAMENTO 121RFeatures at a GlanceStudio condenser microphone with cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, and in-between polar patterns selectable in real time via softwareDual 1.3″ gold-sputtered membranesPrecision software models of 18 coveted dynamic mics, ribbon mics, solid-state condenser mics, and tube condenser micsMic emulations work with Antelope audio interfaces or macOS/Windows DAWs that support VST, AU, or AAX plug-in formats (iLok 2 or iLok 3 USB dongle required for plug-in use)XLR 5-pin output connectorXLR 5-pin to dual XLR 3-pin breakout cableRuns on 48V phantom powerIncludes shockmount, pop filter, and hard storage caseWhatsApp:+8615989288128 , UNCUCO Radio / TV Studio Equipment. , 853744004717
