The Slate Digital ML-2A Modeling Microphone – Matched Pair is a professional small-diaphragm condenser microphone system designed to deliver detailed, accurate instrument recordings with the flexibility of Slate Digital’s Virtual Microphone System (VMS). Factory-matched as a stereo pair, the ML-2A is an excellent choice for recording drums, acoustic guitars, piano, percussion, strings, guitar cabinets, and other instruments where precise stereo imaging is essential.
At the heart of the ML-2A is a gold-sputtered small-diaphragm cardioid capsule and low-noise electronics designed to capture a clean and consistent source signal. When used with the included VMS software, the microphones can recreate the sonic characteristics of a wide range of classic and professional microphone types, allowing you to change microphone character without physically swapping microphones. The ML-2A includes 36 microphone models through the VMS system, including Classic Instruments, Radio France Instruments, and Drum Pack collections.
