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.
Edge Solo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane, low-resonance body and low-reflection headbasket.
Edge Solo was specifically designed as the perfect source to model any vintage cardioid-pattern microphone.
Simple: take the mic out of the case, plug it in, pick an emulation and start tracking.
Solo features a fixed cardioid pickup pattern and feeds a single mono XLR input channel on your interface. This makes it very easy to use. Simply take it out of its case, plug it in, pick one of the emulations and start tracking.
Berlin 47 FT will allow you to finally enjoy the authentic sound of one of the most popular microphones in history of audio recording. This emulation perfectly combines the wide dynamic range and meticulous attention to detail of the hardware original. It’s perfect for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments and even aggressive sound sources as kick drums.
The original behind Berlin 49T was a revolution on its own for its unique two cardioid condenser systems architecture. This would mean nothing if the resulting sound didn’t feature a next level smoothness with strong low-end and more than convincing highs. You’ll find this one on all your favorite 1950s and 1960s pop, soul and jazz recordings. It’s highly suitable for vocals but its great bass response makes it perfect for drums and brass as well.
Berlin 57 comes straight from 1957 and it sounds as great as you can expect. The mic owes its specific sound to a large-diaphragm capsule with a PVC membrane and a triode tube. Users can switch between omni, cardiod and figure of eight polar patterns. Just hear how this one captures vocals and you’ll fall in love with it.
This microphone is the way to go when recording piano, vocals, overheads, guitars, strings, brass section, percussion. Honestly, there’s almost nothing that Berlin 87 can’t handle. We’re bringing this 1970s classic straight from the good old times to your 21st century studio. No pro can live without an 87 so it was high time you got yours!
Berlin 67 carries the true sound of an iconic tube condenser microphone with multiple polar patterns. This German legend can record in omni, cardiod or figure eight. Its popularity is due to its signature sound and flexibility. Berlin 67 is powerful multi-purpose mic that is a must-have for any studio.
Another German studio legend is now available in the FPGA domain. Berlin M103 has been modeled after the iconic large-diaphragm condenser mic with a Berlin 87 style-capsule and transformerless circuitry. This cardiod micropohne is signature for its low noise-floor and wide dynamic range. Berlin M103 is praised not only by music engineers specialized in classical music but by sound designers and Foley artists from the top tiers of the movie industry.
Wondering what lies behind the silky and smooth vocals on your favorite records? Chances are high that it’s exactly the Japanese microphone legend we modeled our Tokyo 800T after. This vintage tube mic is a top choice for all masters of vocals recordings. With a super low noise-floor and extreme sensitivity, it’s also a great fit for recording acoustic guitar sessions.
A classic large diaphragm condenser and a highly sought after tube microphone. Vienna 12 is modelled after the latest revision of the original, which means – low noise, wide frequency response (from 30 Hz to 20 kHz) and switchable polar patterns. Those include cardioid, figure eight and omni.
Vienna 414 is a flexible multi-pattern condenser microphone. The original, which inspired our emulation, has been used in top recording facilities, broadcast studios and performance venues all around the globe. It allows users to switch between whole nine polar patterns and offers unique dynamic range, frequency response and spatial detailing. It’s perfect for lead vocals and solo instruments but also as a room mic for drum recordings or classical music sessions.
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.
Edge Solo delivers exceptional dynamic range and frequency response, resulting in an excellent microphone even before choosing your favorite vintage mic flavor.
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.
*iLok 2 or 3 required. Not included in the pack.
Antelope Audio’s new Edge Family features three large-diaphragm condenser mics: the fixed cardioid Edge Solo, the multi-pattern Edge Duo and the dual-capsule, four-output Edge Quadro, capable of 360° stereo recording.
Together with Antelope’s constantly expanding range of FPGA and native AFX mic emulation plug-ins, the Edge Family makes Antelope’s unrivalled mic modeling technology available to an even wider range of users and recording applications.
