Slate Digital ML-2 (Black)

Whereas the bundle included with the large-diaphragm ML-1 focuses primarily on vocal microphones, this bundle included with the ML-2 small-diaphragm condenser gives you access to emulations of prized instrument mics (though many of these can be used on vocals). Models of the U47 FET, U67, SM7, SM57, RE20, 414, 421, and other famous microphones are included with your purchase.

This is a condenser microphone; however, Slate has built a Dynamic switch into the hardware that allows the mic to behave like a dynamic capsule, withstanding the high SPLs of drums and guitars while offering the polar pattern more associated with dynamic instrument mics.

Here, the microphone is offered a la carte. It is recommended you pair the ML-2 with Slate's complementary preamps or interfaces so that the emulations work to the best of their ability. If you prefer, however, you can use the mic with your existing preamp or interface, but the results may not be the same.
