Slate Digital ML-1A Modeling Condenser Microphone

Hardware Upgrades for Modern Workflows
This new model features a sleek redesign with a refined grille and a three-position pad switch (-10 dB, -20 dB), enabling it to handle sound pressure levels of up to 145 dB SPL. Whether you're recording delicate vocals or thunderous drums, the ML-1A ensures clarity without distortion.

Seamless Plugin Integration
Paired with the updated Virtual Microphone System (VMS) plugin, the ML-1A allows users to load and blend mic models in real time.
