Meet Virtual Microphone System 2

The world's best modeling microphone got a major upgrade. An industry-shaker when it was first released, the original ML-1 microphone offered the ability to flawlessly emultate the color and tone of over 25 handpicked vintage microphones, covering everything from modern studio staples to classic ribbon mics. Now, the brand-new ML-1A and newly designed Virtual Microphone System plugin takes that same functionality and makes it even more powerful.

The ML-1A

The ML-1A is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that's best suited for capturing everything from vocals to live instruments to drum kits and every other use case in between. The ML-1A packs all its punch into a sleeker, smaller shell than that of its predecessor, with a dark grey metallic body and redesigned grille.

Beyond the noteworthy aesthetic differences, the main feature change on the ML-1A is the new three-position 0dB/-10 dB /-20 dB pad switch. Up to 145dB SPL can be captured with the-20dB pad engaged. The ML-1A also has lower self-noise to provide the user with an even cleaner recording experience.

Virtual Microphone System

The virutal mic model user experience has also been significantly improved, with all the mic models now housed together in one self-contained plugin. Compared to the microphone modules in VMR for the ML-1 mic, the new VMS plugin provides the following additional features:

• Microphone Model Morphing

• New “Proximity” slider

• Low-frequency roll-off selector

• Mono-to-stereo widener to spread vocals across the stereo spectrum

And if that wasn't enough, the ML-1A comes bundled with the brand-new Radio France Signature mic pack. To help celebrate our company's French roots, we modeled ten incredible microphones from the inventory at the legendary Radio France network HQ. From studio staples to an 'indestructable' mic and the biggest ribbon mic ever made, the mics in this pack are designed to make the human voice sound great.
