Antelope Audio announces Edge Go, the world’s first bus-powered modeling mic.
The Edge Go is a studio-grade, large diaphragm condenser USB microphone that provides producers, traveling musicians, podcasters, music vloggers, and tech reviewers with unprecedented access to Antelope Audio’s industry-leading microphone modeling technology. Plug the USB-equipped Edge Go directly into a Mac or PC, launch the included Edge Go software application, and simply start recording.
The Edge Go control panel software allows you to instantly audition and compare 11 emulations modeled on time-tested studio microphones. From fat-sounding tube mics (like the Tokyo 800T, Berlin 49T, Berlin 67, and Vienna 12) through to crisp FET condensers (like the Berlin 87, Berlin M103, Berlin 47 FT, and Vienna 414), simply select the mic in question, then dial in the pickup pattern needed. Conversely, you can choose to record through the Edge Go microphone with no mic emulation applied for a transparent, flat 20Hz-20kHz large diaphragm sound.
Check out a promo video of Edge Go here.
Edge Go is priced at $1,595.
Audio-Technica offers two new ATM350a instrument mic systems.
Audio-Technica’s new ATM350a mic systems include the ATM350S surface mount and the ATM350GL guitar mount. Each new mount is being offered in three ways: full system (ATM350a mic, mount and gooseneck), mount only, and bundle with the mount and gooseneck only.
Offering crisp, clear, well-balanced response even in very high SPL applications, the ATM350a Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone provides discreet, rock-solid mounting solutions for a host of instruments, including woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion, drums, and piano. The ATM350a is capable of handling 159dB max SPL, and features a cardioid polar pattern. The mic’s in-line power module incorporates a switchable 80Hz high-pass filter to help control undesired ambient noise.
The AT8491S surface mount is designed for accordions and other challenging applications. The notched mount can be attached permanently using the accordion’s grille screw and the included adhesive silicon pad, or it can be attached temporarily using the included 3M Dual Lock pads. A transparent protective film is also included to prevent damage to the instrument’s finish.
The AT8491G guitar mount features a rugged, thumbscrew-adjustable clamp with non-marking pads that attaches to guitars and other stringed instruments with body depths of 90-135mm.
Pricing is as follows: ATM350S Wired ATM350a with surface mount and short gooseneck – $299; AT8491S Surface mount only – $39; AT8492S Surface mounting system (gooseneck & mount) – $69; ATM350GL Wired ATM350a with guitar mount and long gooseneck – $349; AT8491G Guitar mount only – $79; AT8492GL Guitar mounting system (gooseneck & mount) – $119.
iZotope announces new “Enhance” feature for Spire Studio.
iZotope’s latest update for Spire Studio now offers the ability to polish your audio prior to sharing by utilizing the award-winning intelligent DSP that can also be found in iZotope products Ozone 8 and Neutron 2. This new feature does not rely on templates or presets, but instead analyzes the recorded audio and seeks out any loudness and/or tonal balance issues within the track and adjusts intelligently. For those familiar with Ozone 8 and Neutron 2, the DSP found within this feature borrows from Ozone’s Maximizer and Neutron’s Dynamic EQ.
The Enhance feature is a free update, only available to Spire Studio hardware users, and can be found in the latest version of the iOS or Android app.
