Antelope Audio Edge Duo Condenser Modeling Mic

The Edge Duo is a dual-membrane large-diaphragm condenser microphone engineered for precise vintage mic emulation through Antelope Audio's industry-leading modeling engine. Its compact, low-resonance body houses a 34mm dual-capsule design that splits output into two independent audio channels, enabling multi-dimensional mic modeling with switchable polar patterns—even after recording. This approach delivers authentic on- and off-axis response characteristics of classic studio microphones without requiring expensive vintage gear.

Design & Build Quality

The Edge Duo features a sleek matte black metal body with an ultra-low resonance construction and a specially engineered headbasket. The dual-membrane capsule uses 6-micron gold-sputtered diaphragms (34mm diameter) that produce a smooth, rich, and organic response across the full audio spectrum, making it a versatile foundation for vocal and instrument recording.

Audio Performance & Modeling Capabilities

With a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, self-noise of 19 dB(A), and a maximum SPL of 138 dB, the Edge Duo captures pristine detail across dynamic and quiet sources alike. The dual-channel output feeds Antelope's extensive library of 11 available mic emulations—including Berlin 47, Vienna 414, and Tokyo 800—with 7 additional models in development. Native AFX plug-ins (VST, AU, AAX) allow real-time or post-recording modeling on any audio interface, while direct integration with Antelope's FPGA-equipped interfaces enables zero-latency emulation.
