Digital & networking connectivity is established by industry-standard AES, MADI, ADAT, S/PDIF, Thunderbolt USB and HDX connections for a whopping sum of 346 digital I/O channels!

Accusonic Mic Modeling Ready

Edge Duo modeling mic included
Antelope Audio compliments the Goliath HD Gen 3 users by adding the Edge Duo Modeling Mic to the package. This high-quality dual-capsule large-diaphragm condenser microphone captures vocals and instruments with pristine clarity, depth and detail, making it the perfect starting point for emulating a plethora of timeless studio microphones. Edge Duo is able to call on an extensive and ever-expanding collection of classic mic emulations, with 11 legendary microphone models available.

All have been meticulously measured from carefully selected original examples in one of the most respected facilities in Germany. The full list of Edge Duo emulations includes: Berlin 47 FT, Berlin 49T, Berlin 57, Berlin 87, Berlin 67, Berlin M103, Vienna 12, Vienna 414, Tokyo 800T, Oxford 4038, Sacramento 121F.

The ultimate microphone to complete your mic locker
This high-quality dual-membrane large-diaphragm condenser microphone captures vocals and instruments with pristine clarity, depth and detail, making it the perfect starting point for emulating a plethora of timeless studio microphones. Edge Duo's dual-membrane capsule design feeds two separate XLR output channels via the included Y-cable, which allow the Duo to accurately emulate the characteristic on- and off-axis response of each mic for true multi-dimensional mic modeling.

Single Capsule, Dual Membrane Condenser
Housed in a specially designed low-resonance body with a sleek matte black finish, Edge Duo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered dual-membrane capsule.

Switchable Polar Patterns
Edge Duo's dual-membrane capsule design feeds two separate XLR output channels via the included Y-cable. This allows it to accurately emulate the characteristic on- and off-axis response of each mic for true multi-dimensional mic modeling.

Extensive Library Of Vintage Mic Emulations
Edge Duo is able to call on an extensive and ever-expanding collection of classic legendary mic emulations.

Unique design
Edge Duo features a 6-micron gold-sputtered dual-membrane capsule. It provides an incredibly smooth, rich and organic response that the powerful Antelope Audio modeling engine can shape into the true sound of some of the most expensive and sought-after microphones in the history of audio recording.

High compatibility
The Edge emulations are designed to work hand-in-hand with Antelope's own precision mic preamps and converters. For maximum accuracy, Edge Duo can be used with any of Antelope Audio's mic preamp-equipped interfaces, whose built-in FPGA processing capabilities allow real-time vintage mic emulation. However, Edge Duo also includes Antelope's native mic emulation plug-ins, meaning you can use any third-party audio interface and even change modeling settings after recording.

Available in VST, AU and AAX formats for both macOS and Windows, Antelope's native AFX plug-ins provide everything we've come to expect from their industry-leading FPGA FX, with minimal latency, a high degree of oversampling and precise floating-point calculations.

Conversion

It's all down to dynamics
The big news for the Goliath HD Gen 3 is that its converters provide 136 dB dynamic range (as measured at the Monitor Outs), approaching the theoretical limit of 24-bit audio.

Thunderbolt 2 & USB 3.0 flexibility
USB, Thunderbolt and optional HDX connectivity ensure the Goliath HD | Gen. 3 is compatible with any DAW on Windows and Mac computers. Easily integrate the interface into any DAW-based setup and work on projects spanning several DAWs. Nothing is off-limits, with independent 64 channels of I/O stream over Thunderbolt 2, USB 3.0 and 2 HDX Ports.
