Description
This is a condenser microphone; however, Slate has built a Dynamic switch into the hardware that allows the mic to behave like a dynamic capsule, withstanding the high SPLs of drums and guitars while offering the polar pattern more associated with dynamic instrument mics.
Here, the microphone is offered a la carte. It is recommended you pair the ML-2 with Slate's complementary preamps or interfaces so that the emulations work to the best of their ability. If you prefer, however, you can use the mic with your existing preamp or interface, but the results may not be the same.
Picking up where the ML-1 microphone leaves off, the Slate Digital ML-2 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone that is meant to be used with the VMS (Virtual Microphone System) or the VRS (Virtual Recording Studio). The microphone captures a linear frequency response with minimal distortion, so that it can serve as the unpainted canvas on which you'd apply the digital color of Slate's microphone emulations. Indeed, paired with the VRS or VMS, the microphone aims to put heretofore cost-prohibitive, holy-grail mic/pre combinations at your fingertips.

Low-Latency Operation
None of the processing included with this microphone should add latency to the audio signal, so if you use a low-latency interface with the microphone, you can track through the VMS software without any audible monitoring delay. This low-latency operation can be achieved through Thunderbolt or high-speed USB, recording at 96 kHz with the lowest possible buffer size.
Mac and Windows Compatible
The software works with Mac and Windows systems. For Mac, it's recommended you're running OS X 10.9 or later. For Windows, you'll need Windows 7 and above. VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats are all supported.

Whereas the bundle included with the large-diaphragm ML-1 focuses primarily on vocal microphones, this bundle included with the ML-2 small-diaphragm condenser gives you access to emulations of prized instrument mics (though many of these can be used on vocals). Models of the U47 FET, U67, SM7, SM57, RE20, 414, 421, and other famous microphones are included with your purchase.
