Instructions for proper microphone use:

  1. Avoid any mechanical stress. Microphone drops hit with other objects can detach the capsule from its body or hurt the thin membrane, thus making the microphone
    malfunction.

  2. Humidity can affect microphone performance. If humid air/liquid/human saliva falls on the microphone, electronic components like the Field Effect Transistor and the
    circuit boards inside the microphone can get damaged. To avoid direct contact with humidity. Using a pop filter and keeping a distance of at least 6”/15cm is highly
    recommended.

  3. Avoid exposure to Dust or smoke – small particles can seep through the head gasket and stick to the diaphragm which can cause malfunction

  4. Avoid blowing air directly into the capsule from a close distance. Large condenser microphones have very high sensitivity and abnormally high pressure can damage the
    membrane and overload the capacitors inside, causing noise or malfunction.

  5. When the microphone is not in use, it is recommended to keep it packed in its original box to avoid any exposure to humidity, smoke, or dust. Keeping the moisture-absorbing silica together with the microphone is recommended.

Recording and Monitoring Edge Solo
Edge Solo is a single-membrane condenser microphone. This means the microphone will occupy one physical mic preamp input, one block in the Routing Matrix ‘PREAMP’ row, and one block in the ‘MIC EMU’ row.
Edge Solo mic emulations work on a single input audio channel. Recording and monitoring both ‘dry’ and ‘mic emulation’ audio means dealing with two mono tracks.

  • Route the ‘PREAMP’ input for Edge Solo to your desired outputs to monitor ‘dry’ audio. Route to a ‘COMP REC’ block to record from the corresponding input in your DAW.
  • Route the ‘EMU MIC’ output for Edge Solo (same number as the ‘PREAMP’ input) to your desired outputs to monitor `runic emulation’ audio. Route to a ‘COMP REC’ block to record from the corresponding input in your DAW.
  • Route ‘PREAMP’ and ‘EMU MIC’ blocks to your desired outputs and ‘COMP REC’ channels to monitor and record both ‘dry’ and ‘mic emulation’ audio.

For more information about Edge Solo, visit its product page.

EDGE DUO

Notes:

  • To owners of the legacy ‘Edge modeling microphone: ‘Edge’ and ‘Edge Duo’ have nearly identical hardware, so feel free to use the ‘Edge Duo emulations with your legacy Edge mic.
  • Later Edge Duo revisions ship with a red and blue Y-cable instead of the old red and white Y-cable. The difference is purely cosmetic. The blue connector is analogous to the white connector referred to in this manual.

To access the Mic emulations within your Antelope interface, you need to click on the “Mic” icon below the Preamp:

Recording and Monitoring Edge Duo
Edge Duo is a dual-membrane condenser microphone – it has one capsule with dual membranes and connects with a Y-XLR cable (included), and one XLR connector for each membrane. The Left (white/blue) connector is the front membrane, and the Right (red) is for the rear membrane.
The microphone occupies two physical mic preamp inputs, two blocks in the Routing Matrix ‘PREAMP’ row, and two blocks in the ‘EMU MC’ row.
Note: You can use Edge Duo as a single-membrane condenser mic by disconnecting one of the XLR connectors. In this case, the mic emulations will be visible, but they won’t function correctly, you cannot swap inputs and you cannot adjust the polar pattern.
Route the ‘PREAMP’ input for Edge Duo to your desired outputs to monitor ‘dry’ audio. Route to a ‘COMP REC’ block to record from the corresponding input in your DAW.

Recording and monitoring Edge Duo as a dual-membrane condenser mic
In this case, you will record and monitor two concurrent mono inputs, one coming from each membrane. They will sound slightly different in tone and volume, due to the physical distance between the membranes and the performer. You may have to compensate with individual gain adjustments for each membrane.
Route the ‘PREAMP’ inputs occupied by Edge Duo to your desired outputs to monitor ‘dry’ audio. Route them to ‘COMP REC’ blocks to record from the corresponding inputs in your DAW.
Recording and monitoring Edge Duo as a modeling microphone
Make sure that ‘Edge Duo’ mic emulations are enabled. Route the ‘MIC EMU’ inputs corresponding to the ‘PREAMP’ inputs occupied by Edge Duo to your desired outputs for monitoring and the ‘COMP REC’ blocks for DAW recording.
Recording and monitoring ‘dry’ and `rnic emulation’ audio simultaneously
With the Edge Duo, monitoring and recording ‘dry’ and ‘mic emulation audio simultaneously mean handling four concurrent mono signals – two ‘dry’ tracks and two ‘mic emulation tracks. ‘Dry’ audio comes from the ‘PREAMP’ inputs, and ‘Mic Emulation’ audio comes from the ‘MIC EMU’ outputs. Route them anywhere you want in the Routing Matrix.

EDGE QUADRO

Connecting Edge Quadro

Edge Quadro is a quad-membrane condenser microphone – it has two heads, each with dual membranes. The Top head rotates 360 degrees, enabling stereo recording techniques such as M/S, X/Y, Blumlein, and even 3D sound. Therefore, the microphone is bundled with a pair of Y-XLR cables. Their Left (White or Blue *) connectors are for the front membranes, and their Right (red) connectors are for the rear membranes.

  • Later Edge Quadro revisions ship with Red and Blue V-cables instead of Red and White Y-cables. The difference is purely cosmetic. Thus, the Blue connector corresponds to the older White connector.
    However, each cable is designated for either the Top or Bottom head and labeled according to – T (Top) or B (Bottom). The inputs on the microphone are labeled too, letting you know where each cable needs to be connected.
    There’s a bevy of options for connecting Edge Quadro As a single-membrane (rotatable) condenser mic. Connect just one XLR from the Top (rotatable) or Bottom head using the corresponding cable. The possible configurations are:

    1. Top Head— Front Membrane.
    2. Top Head – Rear Membrane.
    3. Bottom Head – Front Membrane.
    4. Bottom Head- Rear Membrane.

As a dual-membrane (rotatable) condenser mic. Connect two XLRs from either (or both) the Top and Bottom heads with the corresponding cables. The possible configurations
are:

  1. Top Head Front and Rear Membranes.
  2. Bottom Head Front and Rear Membranes.
  3. Top Head Front Membrane. Bottom Head Front Membrane.
  4. Top Head Front Membrane. Bottom Head Rear Membrane.
  5. Top Head Rear Membrane. Bottom Head Front Membrane.
  6. Top Head Rear Membrane. Bottom Head Rear Membrane.

As a quad-membrane rotatable condenser microphone. Connect all XLRs from both heads with the corresponding cables. This is the only option for using the Edge Quadro mic emulations.
To access the Mic emulations within your Antelope interface, you need to click on the “Mic” icon below the Preamp:

  • Mid-side stereo – set the top capsule to Cardioid and the bottom capsule to figure-8
  •  Blumlein – Set both capsules to Figure-8, offset 90°

Monitoring and recording Edge Quadro
Taking full advantage of the Edge Quadro’s 360-degree recording and dual- emulation capabilities means the microphone will occupy four physical mic preamp inputs, four blocks in the Routing Matrix/Input selector ‘PREAMP’ row, and four blocks in the ‘MIC EMU’ row.
Monitoring and recording ‘dry and ‘mic emulation audio simultaneously with the Edge Quadro means handling eight concurrent mono tracks – two ‘dry’ tracks from its Top head, two ‘dry’ tracks from its Bottom head, two ‘mic emulation 1’ tracks, and two ‘mic emulation 2’ tracks. With so many signals available, the routing and processing possibilities are extensive. Put the manual down and explore your skills and creativity.
