Edge & Verge mic emulations
Edge & Verge mic emulations are available on preamp/combo inputs 5 – 12. They are
intended for use with the Antelope Audio Edge & Verge modeling microphones only. We
cannot guarantee optimal (or even usable) results with other microphones.
Before attempting to use mic emulations, make sure of the following:
1. The mic emulations for your modeling microphone are installed from the ‘Software’ tab
in the Antelope Launcher. Install them if they are not.
2. The installed mic emulation bundles are assigned to your Orion Studio Synergy Core.
Mic emulations are accessed by clicking the tiny ‘Mic’ symbol, seen on inputs 5 – 12 in the
‘PREAMPS’ tab when they are set to ‘Mic’ from the drop-down menu:
Gain Calibration
It’s a good idea to connect your mic(s) now and calibrate preamp gain before you proceed.
To do this, switch the input(s) occupied by your mic(s) to ‘Mic’ from the drop-down menu
and activate 48V phantom power. Click and turn the Gain knobs or double-click the text
fields and enter values from the keyboard.
Gain adjustment for the Edge Solo and Verge is straightforward, but the Edge Duo and
Edge Quadro are multi-membrane microphones. There may be differences in the input
signal strength from each membrane, which may have to be compensated for with
individual gain adjustments.
Note that engaging mic emulations for Edge Duo and Edge Quadro automatically ‘links’
their input channels, thus individual gain adjustments per input are not possible while using
their mic emulations.
Using Mic Emulations
In the ‘Mic Emulations’ window, click and rotate the dial to access the emulations available
for your modeling microphone:

microphone.
