S-121 NORMAL: This is a cardioid model of the classic ribbon mic, and like the real thing, it has fat lows and slightly dark highs, making it perfect on horns, strings, room mics, guitar cabs, and overheads. It's ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitars, and string instruments.
It's bright but not harsh, with a smooth midrange and flat low end. S-222: This is a model of a famous small diaphragm tube mic. S-CUSTOM SNARE: This is a modified version of the S-57, with added curves from famous EQ's to enhance the sound, producing the ultimate polished snare sound. S-57 MODERN: A dynamic 57, this mic sounds very similar to the vintage model but with smoother mids and more sizzly highs. It's known for its punchy midrange and smooth top end, which is why it is a top choice on guitar and snare Drums. S-57 VINTAGE: This model is a recreation of an early '80s dynamic 57, perhaps one of the most famous dynamic microphones in audio history.
#SLATE DIGITAL FREE ML2 SOFTWARE#
Additionally, the ML-2 can work with any preamp, although it is not guaranteed that the software emulation will be accurate. To get the most out of the ML-2 you can pair it with the VRS8 interface, which includes eight VMS Ultra Linear mic preamps. As a result, it can be used just like a dynamic mic on drums, guitar cabs, and more. 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. 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. 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. This small diaphragm microphone is capable of recreating the tone of an entire mic locker of your favorite legendary instrument mics. The ML-2 microphone is the second model in Slate Digital's award-winning Virtual Microphone System.
