The Virtual Microphone System bridges the gap between hardware tracking and digital processing, utilizing an ultra-linear large-diaphragm condenser paired with a cutting-edge plugin to authentically recreate the complex, phase-accurate frequency responses of the world's most sought-after vintage tube and solid-state microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA World-Class Mic Locker on a Single Stand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePairing the perfect microphone with a specific vocalist or acoustic instrument typically requires a physical hardware collection worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ML-1A eliminates this bottleneck by serving as a pristine, uncolored sonic canvas. Boasting an ultra-low self-noise floor of just 8 dB, it captures a ruler-flat, transient-rich signal with zero inherent coloration. This absolute transparency is processed by the VMS software engine, which includes 18 legendary microphone models straight out of the box. The updated package now features the exclusive Radio France Signature Mic Pack, bringing rare European ribbons and flagship broadcast mics directly into your DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eZero-Commitment Tracking and Complete Mix Flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCommitting to a specific microphone and preamp combination during the tracking phase often limits your options during the final mixdown. The VMS ecosystem completely removes this pressure, allowing engineers to swap microphone models, adjust virtual preamp saturation, and even tweak the proximity effect long after the performance is captured. The newly engineered ML-1A hardware introduces a dedicated 3-position attenuation pad (0, -10, -20 dB), allowing the capsule to withstand punishing sound pressure levels up to 145 dB SPL. This makes it an invaluable tool for close-miking heavy drum shells or roaring guitar cabinets without clipping your converters. Furthermore, the updated VMS software features Mic Morphing, a tool that lets you seamlessly blend the profiles of two distinct microphones to forge entirely new hybrid acoustic signatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdvanced hybrid modeling architecture seamlessly integrating an ultra-transparent hardware mic with the VMS software suite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRedesigned capsule and FET topology achieving an industry-leading ultra-low self-noise floor of 8 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNon-destructive workflow enabling post-recording adjustments to microphone selection, preamp drive, and proximity behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInnovative Mic Morphing engine that allows for the continuous blending of two different microphone emulations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes 18 highly coveted microphone models, highlighted by the newly integrated Radio France Signature Mic Pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: Large-diaphragm condenser microphone specifically engineered for the Virtual Microphone System.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCapsule: Shock-mounted, 6-micron gold-sputtered precision diaphragm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttenuation Pad: Hardware-based 3-position toggle switch (0 dB, -10 dB, -20 dB).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL Handling: 145 dB (when utilizing the -20 dB pad setting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSoftware Compatibility: macOS 10.15+ and Windows 10\/11; fully supports VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Slate Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53477705679185,"sku":"51602","price":522.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SlateDigitalVMSML-1AModelingMic2025model1.jpg?v=1775812163"},{"product_id":"slate-digital-ml-2a-modeling-microphone-pair","title":"Slate Digital ML-2A Modeling Microphone Pair","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSlate Digital ML-2A Modeling Microphone Pair\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEndless locker of legendary mics during mixdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCommitting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eExtreme SPL handling with the proprietary Dynamic switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eStandard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMatched pair of ultra-linear, small-diaphragm condenser microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for native, phase-accurate integration with Slate Digital VMS software.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProprietary \"Dynamic\" switch repolarizes the capsule for tracking extremely loud sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eZero sonic footprint, providing a perfectly flat canvas for software emulations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCompact, unobtrusive chassis design for effortless positioning in tight drum tracking setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransducer Type: Small-diaphragm condenser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOnboard Controls: \"Dynamic\" switch (capsule repolarization).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnector Type: 3-pin XLR.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower Requirement: +48V Phantom Power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Two ML-2A microphones, mic clips, protective carrying case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Slate Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53528064393553,"sku":"59451","price":397.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SlateDigitalML-2AModelingMicrophonePair1.jpg?v=1776413660"}],"url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/collections\/slate-digital.oembed","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
