Antelope Audio premiered three products at the recent NAMM Show in Southern California: the Edge Go modeling microphone, and the Orion32+ | Gen 3 and Orion32 HD | Gen 3 audio interfaces.
Edge Go is so much more than just another USB microphone. Connected via USB-C and equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time monitoring, Edge Go achieves an entire processed vocal chain at the hardware level all in real-time. With a variety of high-end condenser mic models and a special selection of lifelike vintage compressor and EQ effects, plus built-in de-essing, gating/expansion, tape saturation, and reverb all controlled by an intuitive PC/Mac app, getting fully-finished recordings on the go has never been simpler. A collection of channel strip presets, crafted by industry pros, makes it even easier to quickly achieve a sound that’s ready for radio, podcast, Twitch stream, or album. And it all comes straight off the Edge Go, with practically imperceptible latency.
Edge Go Features:
- Studio-grade large-diaphragm condenser microphone
- Bus-powered over USB-C (USB Type-A compatible)
- Accurately models the world’s finest studio condenser microphones
