A Whole New Virtual Microphone System
A Match Made in Heaven
The ML-2A’s full potential is unlocked when paired with the award-winning Virtual Microphone System plugin.
The world’s top producers build a collection of vintage, rare, and high end microphones over decades, at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars. With the ML-2A and VMS, you get that same quality sound for the fraction of the cost.
What is Mic Modeling?
Mic modeling takes the clear sound captured by the ML-2A and, via the VMS plugin, applies digital processing to match the sonic characteristics of the world’s most sought-after microphones.
All Models Included
Unlock 36 mic models on day one. From workhorse dynamics to smooth ribbons and classic condensers, every model is included with your mic. New models are added through simple software updates.
Endless Possibilities
Not only do you get the tones and characteristics of the best mics in the world, you can blend two mics to make your own, unique sound.
Tweak Away
Commitment-phobes rejoice. You can choose your mic, blend, and even change proximity after your record.
Record Everything Better
With the Virtual Microphone System plugin and the ML-2A, switch from punchy dynamics to silky ribbons to classic condensers in a click. Capture any instrument in its best light, mono or stereo, without swapping mics or breaking your flow. All mic models are included.
The future of instrument mic modeling is here, faster and more flexible than ever.
