The Antelope Edge Quadro is a stereo large-diaphragm condenser microphone offering versatile configurability and flexible software processing for accurate sonic reproduction of vocals and instruments. With two 1.3″ dual-membrane capsules¡ªeach capable of cardioid, figure-8, omnidirectional, or variant polar patterns¡ªin a stacked setup, it can be used for mono or multiple stereo configurations. Thanks to a rotatable top head with degree marks, X/Y and Mid-Side positioning are easily and precisely achieved.Dual XLR 5-pin outputs split to four independent XLR 3-pin channels via the supplied 16.4′ oxygen-free copper XLR Y-cables, allowing independent level adjustment and effects processing for each membrane. Using Antelope’s AFX plug-ins or their FPGA-equipped audio interfaces, per-head microphone emulation and polar pattern manipulation are provided along with a straightforward and informative GUI.The extensive library of mic emulations boasts models of sought-after tube and solid-state condensers, as well as popular ribbon mics. All models are optimized for the Edge Quadro’s low resonance and full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. The capsules are operated via 48 VDC phantom power; no bulky external power supply is required. The Edge Quadro includes a custom shockmount and a custom wooden case.Quadrosonic Modeling MicrophoneLarge-diaphragm condenser capsulesDouble-sided, 6-micron, gold-sputtered 34mm membranesAudio signal splits into four independent XLR output channels for optimum control and re-mikingSwitchable cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional polar patternsIndividual mic emulation and polar pattern selection for each headInfinite top head rotation for maximum flexibilityLow-reflection, symmetrical top and bottom headsIncludes a custom shockmount, two oxygen-free copper Y-cables, and a custom handmade wooden caseFlexible ConfigurabilityX/Y Setup: Set both capsules to cardioid, then offset the heads by 90¡ãMid-Side Setup: Set the top capsule to cardioid, and the bottom capsule to figure-8Blumlein Setup: Set both capsules to figure-8, then offset the heads by 90¡ãEmulations IncludedBerlin 47 FTBerlin 49TBerlin 57Berlin 87Berlin 67Berlin M103Vienna 12Vienna 414Tokyo 800TOxford 4038Sacramento 121RSystem Requirements for AFX Plug-InsMac OS X 10.11macOS 10.12 or laterIntel Core 2 Duo minimum, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon recommended4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommendedHost software that supports AAX Native, Audio Units, or VST formatsInternet connection for product activationiLok 2 or iLok 3 USB license key?Windows 10Intel Core 2 Duo minimum, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon recommended4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommendedHost software that supports AAX Native or VST formatsInternet connection for product activationiLok USB license key
