This is an in-depth review of the Slate Digital ML-2 Modelling Microphone.

I really like these little mics. They're low-cost and pack a punch with their emulations. I think you'll be blown away with both the SM7B and RE20 emulations--and a few others as well.

If you want to see more or less of something in my videos, let me know in the comments. I do a fair amount of speaking so that all the information is delivered, along with the sound of the mic being reviewed. If it's too much, let me know so I can adjust.

Yes, I am aware that I misspelled "modelling" at least once. oof
