Introducing the Slate Digital VMS ML-2 Small-diaphragm Modeling Microphone, your musical chameleon capable of emulating the legendary sounds of iconic microphones. As a vital component of the Slate Digital's Virtual Microphone System, this microphone captures even the most robust sound sources with unrivaled precision, providing you with a perfect canvas for all Slate's microphone emulations.

With the ML-2's compact design, you can place it in the most challenging spots, while its Dynamic switch attenuates the mic's output and repolarizes the capsule, allowing for usage in high SPL situations without distortion or saturation. This makes it ideal for micing loud sources like drums or guitar cabinets, delivering the same sonic flexibility as their ML-1 large-diaphragm mic, but in a more compact package.

Moreover, the ML-2 is perfectly compatible with Slate's Virtual Microphone System. Whether used with Slate's VRS8 audio interface or your own clean-sounding preamp, it delivers a coloration-free signal, offering an extensive selection of microphone models when combined with the included VMS microphone modeling software.

Key Features: - Ultra-linear, sonically neutral condenser microphone - A Dynamic switch for high SPL situations - Compact design for tight spaces - Optimized for the Slate Digital VRS8 Audio Interface and Slate Preamp - Identical linear and flat frequency response as the Slate Digital ML-1 - Includes a license for Classic Instruments - Provides a staggering selection of microphone models from dynamics, cardioid models of classic ribbons, famous small-diaphragm mics, and large-diaphragm mics.
