Musicians and home producers all tend to suffer from the Pokémon school of thought when it comes to acquiring gear - we’ve gotta catch ’em all. There is, however, a couple of problems with this approach. For starters, it won’t be long before you’re financially ruined, and even if you can afford to splurge on a host of electric guitar amps, outboard compressors, vintage synths, and retro microphones, where on earth are you going to keep them all? Well, as for the latter, the Slate Digital ML-1 could be the answer - and better yet, you can currently pick it up with a whopping £211 discount at Thomann. 

So, what is the Slate ML-1? Well, it may look like a fairly standard large-diaphragm condenser mic, but it’s actually far more than that - it’s eight highly sought after microphones in one unit. Using Slate’s state-of-the-art Virtual Microphone System, this clever unit can be used to recreate the sound of a host of classic mics digitally.
