ANTELOPE Edge Solo

Edge Solo Modeling Microphone Single capsule large diaphragm condenser microphone for Antelope vintage microphone emulationsA microphone to complete your microphone cabinet

Edge Solo is a high quality large diaphragm condenser microphone from Antelope Audio. Combined with Antelope's state-of-the-art modeling technology, users can emulate 18 of the world's most famous vintage microphones with incredible accuracy. The Edge Solo has modelling done in one of the most prestigious institutions in Germany with an excellently preserved collection of classical microphones. The complete list of Edge Solo emulations can be found below.

Powerful customized design

Edge Solo was specifically designed as the perfect source to model any classic cardioid microphone. Antelope's Edge microphones are in a class of their own thanks to extensive testing and a design philosophy that ensures a precise yet natural sounding result. Edge Solo was designed and built in Europe and features a 6 micron gold sputter diaphragm, a low resonance body and a low reflection head basket. Edge Solo also features custom electronics developed by Antelope's award-winning engineers that offer exceptional dynamic range and frequency response, resulting in an excellent microphone even before you choose your favorite vintage microphone taste.

Plug'n'play

Unlike the Edge Series multi-capsule modeling microphones, the Solo has a fixed cardioid polar pattern and powers a single mono XLR input channel on your interface. This makes the operation very easy. Just take it out of the case, plug it in, select one of the 18 emulations available, and start tracking.

Compatible with any system

The edge emulations are optimized to work with Antelope's precision microphone preamps and converters for maximum accuracy. Antelope Audio's microphone preamplifier-equipped interfaces feature built-in FPGA processing functions that enable vintage microphone emulation in real time.
Edge Solo also includes Antelope's native microphone emulation plug-ins, so you can use any third-party audio interface and even change modeling settings after recording. Antelope's native AFX plug-ins*, available in VST, AU and AAX formats for MacOS and Windows, deliver everything we 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 delivery.

About the new Edge family

Building on the success of the acclaimed Edge modeling microphone, Antelope Audio's new Edge family features three new large-diaphragm condenser microphones - the Fixed Cardioid Edge Solo, the Multi-Pattern Edge Duo and the Dual-Capsule, Edge Quadro with four outputs and 360° stereo recording.Together with Antelope's ever-growing range of FPGA and native AFX microphone emulation plug-ins, the Edge family makes Antelope's unrivaled microphone modeling technology available to an even wider range of users and recording applications.
