ML-1 Modeling Microphone
The virtual microphone system
The “VMS” is a hybrid system that uses an extremely transparent condenser microphone and a state-of-the-art digital processing package that mimics the tone of classic microphones and preamplifiers. The Virtual Microphone System breaks the wall between sound engineers and expensive world-class audio equipment, giving them access to the virtual microphone cabinet of their dreams for less than a thousand dollars.
Slate Digital ML-1 Microphone
The ML-1 microphone is the centerpiece of the Virtual Microphone System. This large-diaphragm microphone has a shock-mounted, gold sputtered, 6-micron capsule and a state of the art FET circuit pad that provides the most linear, flat and pure “blank canvas” response. Combined with the Slate Digital tube microphone modeling software, it can sound like the most classic microphones in recording history.
The Slate Digital is the best-selling microphone of its kind – and for good reason. Its exceptionally clear sound and reliable response, combined with the Virtual Microphone System, provides a world-class collection of classic microphones that would otherwise take you a lifetime to collect.
The microphone is more than a standard large-diaphragm condenser microphone. This sonically neutral microphone is able to accurately mimic the sound and feel of a classic cardioid condenser microphone, capturing even the loudest sounds with the greatest precision. Combined with the Virtual Microphone System’s incredible microphone emulations, the ML-1 provides access to a world-class virtual microphone cabinet, from coveted tube classics (FG-47 & FG-251) to modern masterpieces (FG-M7 & FG-800). Unprecedented recording flexibility.
