Large-Diaphragm Modeling Microphone for Antelope Interfaces
Antelope Audio - Edge Duo
A selection of vintage mics at your fingertips
Antelope’s unique mic modeling process starts with the Edge Duo microphone. An outstanding performer in its own right, this large-diaphragm condenser captures vocals and instruments with pristine clarity, providing the ideal platform for Edge Duo mic emulation plug-ins.
Boasting a specially designed low-resonance body, the Edge Duo features a pair of capsules with 6-micron gold-sputtered membranes. These edge-terminated capsules provide an incredibly smooth and natural response that can then be shaped to recreate the character of some of the costliest microphones in existence.
Crucially, the Edge Duo's two capsules feed two separate outputs, meaning that the signal from each capsule can be individual processed and recombined. While some mic modeling systems can only apply crude EQ adjustments on top of a static mic response, this dual capsule, dual output approach allows us to precisely model every polar pattern on every mic, with accurate on- and off-axis responses, for true multi-dimensional mic modeling.
Edge Duo is designed for all pre amp-equipped Antelope Audio interfaces and outstanding sound can only be guaranteed when used with them. If a user is interested in the Edge Duo emulations but uses an interface from another brand, they should go for the Edge Duo Strip bundle, which includes a perfectly matched two channel Discrete Preamp and several powerful native plugins.

Introducing the Edge Duo Microphone
Edge Duo is a modeling microphone by Antelope Audio, suited for the manufacturer's real-time mic & preamp modeling. Edge Duo is a perfect match for the Discrete 4 & 8 interfaces.
Edge Duo features dual edge-terminated capsules for a smooth/natural sound reproducing the expressiveness and character of expensive classic microphones. Antelope Audio founder Igor Levin designed groundbreaking fully discrete electronics. Hand selected capsules encased in a carefully crafted enclosure with contours and shape for optimal sonic performance. Edge Duo is an exquisite large diaphragm microphone with excellent transient response and capable of multiple polar patterns.
Transform Edge Duo into a vintage microphone replica with full control over proximity effect, off-axis response and polar patterns.
