THE ULTIMATE MICROPHONE TO COMPLETE YOUR MIC LOCKER
Тhis high-quality dual-membrane large-diaphragm condenser microphone captures vocals and instruments with pristine clarity, depth and detail, making it the perfect starting point for emulating a plethora of timeless studio microphones.
Edge Duo’s dual-membrane capsule design feeds two separate XLR output channels via the included Y-cable, which allow the Duo to accurately emulate the characteristic on- and off-axis response of each mic for true multi-dimensional mic modelling.
FEATURES
SINGLE CAPSULE, DUAL MEMBRANE CONDENSER
Housed in a specially designed low-resonance body with a sleek matte black finish, Edge Duo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered dual-membrane capsule.
SWITCHABLE POLAR PATTERNS
Edge Duo’s dual-membrane capsule design feeds two separate XLR output channels via the included Y-cable. This allows it to accurately emulate the characteristic on- and off-axis response of each mic for true multi-dimensional mic modelling.
EXTENSIVE LIBRARY OF VINTAGE MIC EMULATIONS
Edge Duo is able to call on an extensive and ever-expanding collection of classic legendary mic emulations, with more models soon to be released.

UNIQUE DESIGN
Edge Duo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered dual-membrane capsule.
It provides an incredibly smooth, rich and organic response that the powerful Antelope Audio modelling engine can shape into the true sound of some of the most expensive and sought-after microphones in the history of audio recording.
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 Duo 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 Duo also includes Antelope’s native mic emulation plug-ins, meaning you can use any third-party audio interface and even change modelling 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.
*iLok 2 or 3 required. Not included in the pack.
MEET THE EDGES
Antelope Audio’s new Edge Family features three large-diaphragm condenser mics: the fixed cardioid Edge Solo, the multi-pattern Edge Duo and the dual-capsule, four-output Edge Quadro, capable of 360° stereo recording.
Together with Antelope’s constantly expanding range of FPGA and native AFX mic emulation plug-ins, the Edge Family makes Antelope’s unrivalled mic modelling technology available to an even wider range of users and recording applications.
