Edge Quadro
Connecting Edge Quadro
Edge Quadro is a quad-membrane condenser microphone – it has two heads, each with
dual membranes. The Top head rotates 360-degrees, enabling stereo recording
techniques such as M/S, X/Y, Blumlein, and even 3D sound. Therefore, the microphone is
bundled with a pair of Y-XLR cables. Their Left (White) connectors are for the front
membranes, and their Right (red) connectors are for the rear membranes.
However, each cable is designated for either the Top or Bottom head and labeled
accordingly – T (Top) or B (Bottom). The inputs on the microphone are labeled too, letting
you know where each cable needs to be connected.
There’s a bevy of options for connecting Edge Quadro to your Zen Tour Synergy Core:
As a single-membrane (rotatable) condenser mic. Connect just one XLR from the Top
(rotatable) or Bottom head using the corresponding cable. The possible configurations are:
1. Top Head – Front Membrane.
2. Top Head – Rear Membrane.
3. Bottom Head – Front Membrane.
4. Bottom Head – Rear Membrane.
As a dual-membrane (rotatable) condenser mic. Connect two XLRs from either (or both)
the Top and Bottom heads with the corresponding cables. The possible configurations are:
1. Top Head – Front and Rear Membranes.
2. Bottom Head – Front and Rear Membranes.
3. Top Head – Front Membrane. Bottom Head – Front Membrane.
