The high-quality double-diaphragm large-diaphragm condenser microphone captures vocals and instruments with unadulterated clarity, depth and detail, making it the perfect starting point for reproducing a variety of timeless studio microphones.
Edge Duo has an extensive and growing collection of classic microphone emulations, with 11 legendary microphone models already available and 7 more to come soon. All were carefully measured against carefully selected original examples in one of the most prestigious institutions in Germany. The complete list of Edge Duo emulations can be found below.
Edge Duo is housed in a specially designed, low-resonance housing with a matt black finish and features a 6 micron gold plated double diaphragm capsule. It offers an incredibly smooth, rich and organic response that can transform the powerful Antelope Audio Modeling Engine into the true sound of some of the most expensive and coveted microphones in audio recording history.
The Edge Duo's double-diaphragm capsule design feeds two separate XLR output channels via the supplied Y-cable. The signal from each diaphragm is then individually processed and recombined to provide the most accurate microphone modeling on the market. This approach not only means that the user can vary the directional diagram within the plugin, even after recording. It also allows the Edge Duo to accurately emulate the characteristic onaxis and off-axis response of each microphone to enable true multidimensional microphone modeling.
Edge emulations are designed to work hand in hand with Antelope's precision microphone preamps and converters. For maximum accuracy, Edge Duo can be used with any of Antelope Audio's microphone preamplifier-equipped interfaces, whose built-in FPGA processing functions enable vintage microphone emulation in real time.
Edge Duo 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.

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.
