fully cleaned up. If in doubt, please consult the manufacturer.
Do not handle cables with wet hands!

Consult authorized service personnel or your dealer.

2. Quick Start

Congratulations on purchasing your Antelope Audio Edge Go bus-powered modeling microphone!
There are just a couple of steps to go through before you are ready to begin recording.
1.
Download
and install the Edge Go USB Driver and Antelope Audio Launcher for your operating
system.
2. Place the Edge Go into the shockmount or desktop stand and connect the microphone to your
computer using a standard USB C cable (one is provided in the box), or USB C to USB Type-A
(male) cable.
3. Start the Antelope Audio Launcher. Once it's running, update the device firmware and install the
PC/Mac Control Panel for Edge Go. It all happens inside the Launcher.
4. Head to the Software tab and install the EdgeDuo package to get the mic emulations and effects
(FPGA) for Edge Go. Yes, they are the same as in our coveted Edge Duo large-diaphragm
condenser modeling mic.
5. Should you wish to use the mic emulations and effects as native plug-ins in your DAW, download
and install the
PACE iLok License Manager
software. Plug in an iLok v2/v3 USB dongle (sold
separately) and use the activation codes from the leaflet to download and authorize the plug-ins.

  • Page 2 Congratulations! You are now ready to turn Edge Go into the heart of your recording setup. Thank you for choosing Antelope Audio. Tip: Use Antelope Launcher for download and installation, iLok License Manager for authorization. Tip: Never used audio software (DAW) before? Plug in a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm jack and explore the presets inside the Control Panel as you talk or play into the microphone.
  • Page 3 1. Input Level Knob Adjusts mic gain. Tip: Don’t push the meters into the red. It means you are overdriving the Edge Go’s built-in preamp and clipping occurs, distorting your recording in an audible and unpleasant manner. Tip: For voice recordings, adjust mic gain according to the nominal (regular) level of your speaking or singing voice.
  • Page 4 Choose the one which suits your computer the best. Back to the Control Panel overview: 7. About Button Provides device, firmware and software information. 8.

  • Page 5 Control the amount of system audio (web browser, YouTube, media apps, DAWs) sent to the Edge Go’s headphones output. 3. Edge Go Output Adjust the amount of processed audio from the Edge Go heard through its headphones output. Tip: Mute buttons are available for each mix bus.
  • Page 6 Tip: You cannot add effects processing to system audio, other than reverb. Tip: Configure your system audio outputs from Audio & MIDI Settings in macOS, or the Windows Control Panel. Edge Go has four outputs which can be assigned to the Left and Right channels in your operating system.
  • Page 7 Omni, Cardioid, Figure-8 and anything in between. Tip: With Native plug-ins, it is possible to add mic emulations and effects to existing Edge Go recordings in a DAW. For optimum results, said recordings must be Stereo and “dry” - that is, recorded without mic emulations and effects.
  • Page 8 You now know enough to master the Edge Go. With recording quality and production ease no longer an obstacle, you are free to unleash the slickest-sounding recordings upon the unsuspecting world. We wish you fun and productive times with this brilliant microphone.
