Edge Duo features dual edge-terminated capsules for a smooth/natural sound reproducing the expressiveness and character of expensive classic microphones. Antelope founder Igor Levin designed groundbreaking fully discrete electronics. Hand-selected capsules were chosen and 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.
Verge is a small-diaphragm modeling microphone suited for both nuanced accuracy and high SPL recording. Also exhibiting excellent performance on its own, it can take on the character and personality of the world's best small diaphragm condensers and electrets.
Plug the Edge Duo and Verge microphones into the Discrete 8 interface, and Antelope's FPGA Accusonic 3D modeling engine will transform your modeling mics into vintage replicas giving you complete control over proximity effect and off-axis response, and even allowing you to change polar patterns during or after recording. Choose from a collection of classic and expensive microphones and track the results as you monitor live, bringing out a musician's best possible performance. Record the dry signal and apply mic emulations later, experimenting freely and creatively.
