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 emulate 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 a redesigned grille. Beyond the noteworthy aesthetic differences, the main feature change on the ML-1A is the new three-position 0 dB/ -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 virtual 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 for blending the characteristics of two microphone models to create an entirely new behavior

· New “Proximity” slider which applies the characteristic low-frequency boost that naturally occurs when placing the microphone closer to the sound source

· Low-frequency roll-off selector to remove undesirable rumble in certain circumstances

· Mono-to-stereo widener to spread vocals across the stereo spectrum, useful for adding contrast to background vocals

And if that wasn’t enough, the ML-1A comes with bundled with the brand-new Radio France Signature mic pack. To help celebrate our company’s French roots, we modeled 10 incredible microphones from the inventory at the legendary Radio France network HQ. From studio staples to an ‘indestructible’ mic and the biggest ribbon mic ever made, the mics in this pack are designed to make the human voice sound great.
