## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The new age of modeling has arrived!
*by B***A on July 14, 2020*

Amazing Mic. for the money (bundled with modeling software) I don't think it can be beat in today's marketplace.I was amazed how it sounded beside my U-89 / U-87 etc. Time to buy the Slate small diaphragm Mic. as well to compare with my other Mics. Might be time to sell the "expensive" stuff?One note: The ML-1 puts out much less volume than the Neuman Mics(~-15db). that I compared it to. However, my Mic. Preamps are quiet and can easily compensate without added noise.Great investment!

### ⭐ Wind tunnel sound after 2 hours of use.
*by K***. on February 12, 2024*

Let me first start by saying that slate plugins and software are some of the best ive ever used. I don't normally write negative reviews, however most musicians, recording artists, and small studios don't have a lot of money to throw around for equipment and every investment is precious, I fall into this category. I had a ton of hope that this microphone would have been a silver bullet. After 2 hours of use there was a wind tunnel sound. I tried to deal with the distributor directly. They suggested that I live in a humid climate and that it was causing the issue. My rh in my studio is 54% and honestly I found this troubling and unacceptable, and at the price point of $799 this microphone needs to be reliable. Luckily for me alton music the vendor refunded me with no issues and I didn't end up with and overpriced paperweight. One google search and you will find that many other people have the same issue with this microphone all getting a response that you live in a humid climate. Buyer beware

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Endless Possibilities.
*by M***N on November 7, 2021*

FUN software. If you are a singer or use your voice in creative ways this mic has a lot of potential. The digital compressors and mixing strips are pretty cool. I have Slate Digital ALL ACCESS pass and with this mic the fun is endless. Wasn’t ready to spend $1100 on the awesome sounding WA-8000 so I “settled” for this for more than half off the price WA mic. Be prepared to add another $50 to the price for ilok thumb drive because the licenses for this mic is not ilok cloud compatible. Buy on sale and don’t look back.
