Featuring a unique Dynamic switch, it handles extremely loud sources like drums and guitar cabs without saturation. Paired with Slate’s VMS software, it recreates the tones of legendary instrument microphones, making it a versatile and essential tool for professional studios and creative pros seeking unmatched sonic flexibility. ## Description The ML-2 microphone is the second model in Slate Digital’s award-winning Virtual Microphone System. This small diaphragm microphone is capable of recreating the tone of an entire mic locker of your favorite legendary instrument mics. Like its big brother the ML-1, the ML-2 was designed to have an ultra linear response with no distortion, so that it can serve as a blank canvas for the VMS Virtual Instruments modeling software. Slate Digital tested a large number of mics during the development of the ML-2, and found that even the most expensive small-diaphragm microphone designs saturate when micing very loud and transient-rich sources like close mic’d drums. Therefore, the ML-2 features a proprietary “Dynamic” switch which attenuates the mic’s output and repolarizes the capsule, allowing the ML-2 to be used in extremely high SPL situations without overloading or saturating. As a result, it can be used just like a dynamic mic on drums, guitar cabs, and more. Review: High Quality - If you want to have many mics in one, this is your option. Hight quality mics. Just get slate digital bundle. Review: Very dissapointing microphone. - Gear Nuts delivered as promised. The 1 star rating goes to the microphone. The Slate ML2 is not very well-built. I received 2 that were faulty and unusable. I suspect that if you are fortunate enough to receive a working mic, that it will sound great through the emulation plugin. They are too flimsy to rely on in my opinion. ## Features - Designed to have an ultra linear response with no distortion - Can be used just like a dynamic mic on drums, guitar cabs, and more - Features a proprietary “Dynamic” switch which attenuates the mic’s output and repolarizes the capsule - Capable of recreating the tone of an entire mic locker of your favorite legendary instrument mics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B8N39WV5 | | Antenna Location | Voice Recording, Studio Recording | | Audible Noise | 5 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,978 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #743 in Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | Slate Digital | | Built-In Media | Item | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop, Speaker, Amplifier | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 4 Reviews | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Item Dimensions | 11.85 x 3.75 x 1.85 inches | | Manufacturer | Slate Digital | | Mfr Part Number | SK-912-ML2-KIT-C | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone System | | Model Name | Slate Digital VMS ML2 | | Model Number | SK-912-ML2-KIT-C | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Voice Recording, Studio Recording | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 80 dB | | Special Feature | Volume Control | | UPC | 850009217073 | | Warranty Description | 2 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Slate Digital - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Laptop, Speaker, Amplifier - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Microphone - **Model Name:** Slate Digital VMS ML2 - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Voice Recording, Studio Recording - **Special Feature:** Volume Control ## Images ![Slate Digital VMS ML2 Modeling Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41atk2dKf9L.jpg) ![Slate Digital VMS ML2 Modeling Microphone - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21sdix+3hZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality *by G***A on March 9, 2025* If you want to have many mics in one, this is your option.
