Inside this unassuming (but stylish) 1U rack is contained the spirit of many of the world's most revered microphones. Based on the same TEC Award-winning technology that made our Antares Microphone Modeler the most talked-about software plug-in of 2000, the AMM-1 lets most any reasonable quality microphone sound like any of a wide variety of high-end studio mics.

Extended information

From historical classics to modern exotics to a selection of industry-standard workhorses, simply tell the AMM-1 what microphone you are actually using and what microphone you'd like it to sound like. It's really as simple as that. You can even mix and match the bass and treble characteristics of different microphones or add the warmth of classic tube saturation.

And with over 100 mic models built in, as well as the ability to add new models downloaded from our web site, the AMM-1 will insure that you always have the right mic sound for every track.

So check out the new AMM-1 at your local Antares dealer. Where the future is still what it used to be.

Proprietary DSP-based acoustic modeling allows any reasonable quality microphone to sound like any of a wide variety of high-end studio mics
Models reproduce the effects of windscreens, low-cut filters, pattern-dependent frequency response and proximity effects
Create hybrid mics that combine the bass response of one mic with the treble response of another
Add a model of classic tube saturation distortion
Use during mixdown to change the mic on an already recorded track
Incredibly simple to use -- simply select the mic you're using and the mic you want it to sound like
Includes an extensive collection of digital models of historical classics, modern exotics, and industry-standard workhorses
Additional models can be downloaded from the Antares web site

Technical specifications

The following is the list of the mics that are included in the AMM-1 ROM. We have a lot more in the pipeline and we'll be adding mics to the "New Arrivals" list below as their modeling is completed. If you'd like to see us model a mic that's currently not on the list, email your suggestion to: info@antarestech.com with the words "Mic Suggestion" in the subject line. We can't promise that we'll be able to model every one, but if we see certain mics getting a lot of votes, we'll do our best to have them included.
