Slate Digital ML-2A Modeling Microphone Pair
Optionen wählen
The Slate Digital ML-2A Modeling Microphone Pair is a matched set of ultra-linear, sonically transparent small-diaphragm condenser microphones. Engineered as the dedicated physical capture stage for the Virtual Microphone System (VMS), they record audio with surgical precision and zero phase distortion. This matched pair acts as a pristine blank canvas, allowing audio professionals to seamlessly apply Slate Digital's highly accurate emulations of legendary vintage and modern instrument microphones directly within their DAW.
Endless locker of legendary mics during mixdown
Committing to a specific microphone tone during the tracking phase often leads to destructive EQ struggles later on. The ML-2A bypasses this hard limitation by capturing a completely flat, uncolored frequency response. The critical decision of whether an acoustic guitar track requires the bright, airy attack of a classic 451 condenser, or if a drum shell needs the midrange punch of a dynamic 57, can be made entirely in post-production. This modern workflow enables drastic tonal shifts and A/B testing without ever re-recording, saving invaluable studio time.
Extreme SPL handling with the proprietary Dynamic switch
Standard small-diaphragm condensers typically clip or distort when placed intimately close to a high-transient snare drum or a cranked guitar cabinet. To combat this, the ML-2A features a proprietary "Dynamic" switch. Rather than functioning as a standard inline attenuation pad, this switch actually repolarizes the mic's capsule. This action lowers the inherent sensitivity and drastically increases the headroom, allowing the condenser to handle massive Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) with the ruggedness and distortion-free performance typical of heavy-duty dynamic broadcast microphones.
