Antelope Audio Edge Solo
Modeling Condenser Microphone – Large diaphragm
One microphone to complete your mic locker
Edge Solo is a high-quality single-capsule large-diaphragm condenser microphone by Antelope Audio. Combined with Antelope’s cutting-edge modeling technology, it allows users to emulate the world’s most iconic vintage microphones with uncanny accuracy.
The Edge Solo features modeling that was performed in one of the most respected facilities in Germany using an exquisitely preserved collection of classic microphones.
SINGLE CAPSULE, SINGLE MEMBRANE CONDENSER
Edge Solo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane, low-resonance body and low-reflection headbasket.
CARDIOID MODELING
Edge Solo was specifically designed as the perfect source to model any vintage cardioid-pattern microphone.
EASY TO USE
Simple: take the mic out of the case, plug it in, pick an emulation and start tracking.
High-performance custom design
Antelope’s Edge microphones are in a class of their own thanks to extensive testing and a design philosophy that ensures an accurate yet natural sounding result.
Designed and built in Europe, Edge Solo boasts custom electronics designed by Antelope’s award-winning engineers.
Highly Compatible
The Edge emulations are optimized to perform with Antelope’s precision mic preamps and converters for maximum accuracy. Antelope Audio’s mic preamp-equipped interfaces feature built-in FPGA processing capabilities that allow real-time vintage mic emulation.
Edge Solo also includes Antelope’s native mic emulation plug-ins, meaning you can use any third-party audio interface and even change modeling settings after recording. Available in VST, AU and AAX formats for both macOS and Windows, Antelope’s native AFX plug-ins* provide everything we’ve come to expect from their industry-leading FPGA FX, with minimal latency, a high degree of oversampling and precise floating-point calculations.
