Make It Sound like Any Classic Mic
As part of Slate Digital's Virtual Microphone System, the ML-2 is your gateway to the legendary sounds of classic microphones. This neutral-sounding small-diaphragm modeling mic captures even the loudest sources with clinical precision — the perfect blank canvas to use with Slate's microphone emulations. The ML-2's compact size allows you to place it in tighter spots than their ML-1 large-diaphragm mic, but gives you the same sonic flexibility during tracking and mixdown when used with a Slate Digital VMS-ONE mic preamp or VRS8 audio interface.

Built-in mod switch allows you to record loud sources with zero distortion
Recording engineers at Sweetwater know most small-diaphragm mics will audibly distort in front of loud sound sources, but the ML-2 has a built-in modification to get around that reality of physics. Flipping the switch simultaneously pads the input circuit as well as re-polarizes the capsule. This gives you the additional headroom you need to record louder sources like close-miked drums without distortion.
Tailor-made for Slate's Virtual Microphone System
The ML-2 is a perfect match for Slate's Virtual Microphone System. Whether you use it with Slate's VRS8 audio interface or your own clean-sounding preamp, it delivers a coloration-free signal. And when you combine it with the included VMS microphone/preamp modeling software, it gives you a staggering selection of microphone models ranging from dynamics, cardioid models of classic ribbons, famous small-diaphragm mics, and even large-diaphragm mics. Slate's Virtual Preamp Collection includes the FG-73, modeled after a legendary British discrete solid-state console preamp; and the FG76, modeled after a classic vintage tube pre.
