Antelope Audio Edge Solo

The Antelope Audio Edge Solo Modeling Microphone is a high-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphone by Antelope Audio. Combined with Antelope's cutting-edge modeling technology, it allows users to emulate 18 of the world's most iconic vintage microphones with uncanny accuracy.
High-performance design

Edge Solo was specifically designed to recreate the true sound of a multitude of vintage cardioid-pattern microphones. It's great for modeling because it’s engineered to be great at simply capturing accurate sound. Designed and built in Europe, Edge Solo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane, low-resonance body and low-reflection headbasket. With custom electronics designed by Antelope's experienced engineers, Solo delivers impressive dynamic range and frequency response.
Plug 'n' play

Unlike the more complex modeling microphones in the Edge series, Solo features a fixed cardioid pickup pattern and feeds a single mono XLR input channel on your interface. This makes it exceptionally easy to use. Simply take it out of its case, plug it in, pick one of the 18 available emulations and start tracking.
High compatibility

The Edge emulations are designed to work hand-in-hand with Antelope’s own precision mic preamps and converters. For maximum accuracy, Edge Solo can be used with any of Antelope Audio’s mic preamp-equipped interfaces, whose built-in FPGA processing capabilities allow real-time vintage mic emulation. However, 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.
