{"product_id":"slate-digital-ml-1a-reconditionne-432370","title":"ML-1A - Refurbished","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom ML-1 to ML-1A: a New Step in the Virtual Microphone System\u003c\/h3\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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Versatile Microphone for Studios, Home Studios, and Demanding Creators\u003c\/h3\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.\u003cbr \/\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\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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Neutral Base Designed for \"Color on Demand\"\u003c\/h4\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.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:11;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eultra-linear and neutral large-diaphragm condenser microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e50 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:12;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ecardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ephantom power\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:13;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiaphragm size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded software\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eVirtual Microphone System, Radio France Signature, Classic Tubes 1+2, Virtual Preamp Collection\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:14;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz -
