SLATE DIGITAL ML-2A

Slate Digital's ML-2A Modeling Microphone represents the evolution of the award-winning Virtual Microphone System (VMS), providing the sound of the best vintage and modern microphones ever made.

VMS ML-2A offers a factory-selected pair of professional-quality, small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones that are extremely versatile: perfect on any instrument, in mono or stereo. Included with the microphones is the entire VMS library, with carefully recreated models of high-end vintage and modern microphones, so you have access to iconic sounds directly in your DAW.

The world's top producers and studios develop their microphone collections over years of work, investing tens of thousands, because each vintage, rare or high-end microphone possesses a unique voice. Timbre, frequency response and harmonic character are key elements in determining the emotion and impact of a performance.

With the Slate Digital Virtual Microphone System plug-in, ML-2A gives you access to a true virtual mic locker, directly within your DAW. You can instantly listen to and compare vintage, rare, and even unusual models-from great classics like the S-57 and S-421, to softer ribbons like the S-121, through legendary small-diaphragm condensers like the S-451 and S-222, to great wide-diaphragm classics like the S-414 and the iconic S-67 tube.

Built with premium components and precision hardware, the ML-2A further enhances the original ML-2 design, offering greater detail, extended dynamic range, and superior versatility. Designed for professional recording contexts, it smoothly handles very high SPL sources and provides a low-pass filter and -20 dB pad for total control. Supplied as a factory matched pair with mounting bar included, ML-2A is the ideal choice for both studio and on-location stereo recordings.

With zero-latency processing, you can monitor through microphone patterns in real time while recording, while retaining the freedom to edit later in the mix. ML-2A is the ideal complement to ML-1A, optimized for vocal recording.

The future of microphone modeling is here-and it's better than ever.
