{"product_id":"slate-digital-ml-1a-411689","title":"ML-1A","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom ML-1 to ML-1A: a New Step in the Virtual Microphone System\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its launch, the ML-1 marked a turning point by making accessible a palette of colors inspired by vintage studio microphones, from modern classics to iconic ribbons. With the \u003cstrong\u003eML-1A\u003c\/strong\u003e, Slate Digital consolidates this approach: the microphone gains practicality thanks to a sleeker format (dark gray metal body and revised grille), while bringing concrete improvements for everyday recording. The most notable evolution on the recording side is the addition of a \u003cstrong\u003e3-position pad\u003c\/strong\u003e, which broadens usage on very dynamic sources. At the same time, the \u003cstrong\u003eVirtual Microphone System\u003c\/strong\u003e has been redesigned to better exploit this neutral capture base and refine the modeling experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Versatile Microphone for Studios, Home Studios, and Demanding Creators\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ML-1A is a \u003cstrong\u003elarge-diaphragm cardioid condenser\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to become an all-around microphone: lead vocals, spoken word, choirs, acoustic guitars, overheads, room mics, percussion, or close miking on amps. Its \"ultra-linear\" approach allows for a very faithful starting track, ideal for sculpting color later in the mix. If you are looking for a microphone capable of covering many sessions without multiplying references in your collection, the ML-1A is designed to centralize the recording chain while maintaining a consistent sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Modeling, Built-in Pad, and Modern Plugin Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e0\/-10\/-20 dB Pad: Control Over Loud Sources Without Compromise\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three-position attenuator facilitates high-level recordings: you maintain a clean capture, avoid unwanted saturation, and keep comfortable headroom for transients. With up to \u003cstrong\u003e145 dB SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e (pad -20 dB), the ML-1A performs well where a classic large diaphragm can quickly reach its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Neutral Base Designed for \"Color on Demand\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e large-diaphragm capsule and \"neutral\" design aim to minimize coloration at the source. The result: microphone and preamp modeling applies more predictably, with a more credible timbre sensation and more natural placement in the mix, while benefiting from a \u003cstrong\u003eself-noise of 8 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e for quieter recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 Hz -
