Antelope Audio announces availability of EDGE Strip discrete preamp and modelling mic bundle

03/03/2018

--

Having turned heads and opened ears during a must-see showcase at The 2018 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA earlier this year, high-end professional audio equipment manufacturer Antelope Audio is proud to announce availability of the EDGE Strip bundle - comprising the trailblazing EDGE modeling microphone and specifically-designed DISCRETE MP Discrete Dual Ultra-Linear Microphone Preamp, perfectly paired to tender the same audio quality as a locker-full of vintage mics and rack-full of outboard gear as an all-in-one solution for high-quality studio recordings with vintage analogue sound.

Antelope Audio's talented team of engineering experts, led by capable company CEO Igor Levin, designed DISCRETE MP to perfectly match the frequency response of the already-available, trailblazing EDGE, a large-diaphragm modeling microphone featuring dual-edge-terminated capsules for a smooth/natural sound, reproducing the expressiveness and character of costly classic microphones - albeit without excessive expense.

Watch Antelope Audio's cutting-edge EDGE modelling microphone demonstration video here:

Elsewhere, the EDGE Strip-bundled DISCRETE MP dual-input microphone preamplifier places the same transistor schematic that beats at the state-of-the-art heart of the aptly-named DISCRETE 8 Thunderbolt & USB Interface with 8 Discrete Mic Preamps and DISCRETE 4 Thunderbolt & USB Interface with 4 Discrete Mic Preamps series siblings - released to critical acclaim late last year - at its user's fingertips. The EDGE Strip bundle comes complete with the free native-format Fusion AFX Pack plug-ins, including several microphone and preamp emulations alongside the BA 1073 EQ (inspired by the Seventies-vintage channel module with a specific analogue punch putting in an appearance on many notable recordings) and STAY-LEVIN compressor (personally designed by Igor Levin at Antelope Audio to capture the spirit of its historic hardware namesake that shaped the special sound of a slew of Sixties Stateside classics). Clearly, the days of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vintage mic collection are over, thanks to those must-have microphone emulations:

BERLIN 47 FT allows authentic access to the sound of one of the most popular microphones in the history of audio recording;

BERLIN 67 carries with it the true sound of an iconic tube condenser microphone with multiple - cardioid, omni, and figure eight - polar patterns, popularised as a result of its signature sound and adaptability;

BERLIN 87 is the go-to microphone when it comes to recording brass sections, guitars, overheads, piano, percussion, strings, and vocals; and

TOKYO 800T, a vintage tube mic with a super-low noise floor and extreme sensitivity that is a top choice for many masters of vocal recording.

Reality bites still further with ANTELOPE V76, GIRAFFE G9, and BAE 1073 MP preamp emulations par excellence. Antelope Audio has always prided itself in coming up with technologies that unite the digital and analogue audio worlds. While both DISCRETE MP and EDGE are all-analog devices, making them fully compatible with any audio interface and A/D converter central to any studio set-up anywhere, DISCRETE MP allows users to explore the full potential of EDGE in both Antelope Audio-centered set-ups or other audio systems. Saying that, thanks to its 1kHz hardware calibration OSC (oscillator), DISCRETE MP easily adapts to any studio setup.

DISCRETE MP masterfully makes available Antelope Audio's signature sonic footprint of pristine audio quality. The unique discrete design of its preamp al ows Antelope Audio to modify each individual aspect of the preamp, putting total control over colouration, clarity, and character in the hands of discerning users. DISCRETE MP powerfully punches well above its (950g) weight while packing a lot into its diminutive (190mm W x 46.5mm H x 157mm D) dimensions, as evidenced by its impressive technical specifications: two INPUTS on MIC-XLR and LINE-USE 1/4 JACK, offering 20dBu max balanced @ 2k (XLR only) and 29dBu max balanced @ 13K to ground (TRS only); two TRS OUTPUTS (22dBu max); USB CONTROL I/O (USB 2.0 Full-Speed Type B for remote control only); and a mic preamp pushing out an accomplished gain range of 0dB to 61dB (in 1dB steps) alongside 48V phantom power.

When taken together as the EDGE Strip breakthrough bundle, Antelope Audio's all-new, all-analog DISCRETE MP Discrete Dual Ultra-Linear Microphone Preamp and already-available EDGE modeling microphone make for a killer combination!

EDGE Strip - a breakthrough bundle of Antelope Audio's all-new, all-analogue DISCRETE MP Discrete Dual Ultra-Linear Microphone Preamp and already-available, trailblazing EDGE modelling microphone - is now available to purchase through Antelope Audio's growing global network of dealers with an MSRP of 1,295.00 EUR. (Note that the free native-format Fusion AFX Pack plug-ins are all iLok protected; users can create a free account for the iLok Licensing System and purchase the third-generation iLok Smart Key from here: www.ilok.com.)
