Antelope Audio unveils all-new Edge Family of Modeling Microphones

Following the success of the acclaimed Edge and Verge modeling microphones, Antelope Audio unveiled the next evolution of their mic modeling technology. The new Edge Family consists of three large-diaphragm condensers — the fixed cardioid pattern Edge Solo, the multi-pattern Edge Duo, and the dual-capsule Edge Quadro for 360° recording. Together with stunning vintage mic emulations, these microphones will provide all the possible colors intended for any recording.

Having turned heads and opened ears during a must-see showcase at the 2018 NAMM Show in Anaheim, high-end professional audio equipment manufacturer Antelope Audio now announced availability of the EDGE Strip bundle — comprising the EDGE modeling microphone and specifically-designed DISCRETE MP Discrete Dual Ultra-Linear Microphone Preamp. When paired, the solution offers a locker-full of vintage mics and rack-full of outboard gear for high-quality studio recordings with vintage analogue sound.

Antelope Audio launched its new Discrete 8 Thunderbolt & USB Interface with accompanying Edge and Verge modeling microphones, available as various bundles. According to Antelope, this solution will bring a new level of creativity to studios, by combining a powerful audio interface with the FPGA Accusonic 3D Modeling Engine, which enables both Edge and Verge to emulate any type of microphone and circuit, with complete control over proximity effect, off-axis response, and polar patterns, during or after recording!

The Sphere L22 microphone, unveiled by Townsend Labs as their debut product, was launched August 4 with a phenomenally successful international crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, raising over $100,000 (250% of its target) in 24 hours. The high-precision, side-address, large-diaphragm condenser microphone, combined with microphone modeling software has proved its appeal to the market, emulating the characteristics of the most sought-after microphones on the market.

IK Multimedia just launched Mic Room, a microphone-modeling tool for its T-RackS processing software including a world-class collection of over 20 classic and contemporary microphones. The software runs on any DAW and gives users the power to process and “re-mike” physical microphones to sound and perform like dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphone models, plus other unconventional and highly creative models.
