User Manual

Orion Studio Synergy Core User Manual 56
Edge Duo is a dual-membrane condenser microphone – it has one capsule with dual
membranes and connects with an Y-XLR cable (included), one XLR connector for each
membrane. The Left (white) connector is the front membrane, 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 MIC’ 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 polar pattern.
Recording and monitoring Edge Duo as a single-membrane condenser mic
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 ‘mic emulation’ audio simultaneously
With the Edge Duo, monitoring and recording ‘dry’ and ‘mic emulation’ audio
simultaneously means 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.
