Musicians and audio professionals looking to build up their virtual mic locker will appreciate the Slate Digital Classic 87, an expansion pack for users of the Slate Digital VMS (Virtual Microphone System). The VMS utilizes the ML-1 microphone (available separately), a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a ruler-flat frequency response. The Classic 87 expansion features three models of U87, each with district sonic color and flavor.
The 87 has been used on countless records by the world's top recording artists. Introduce a ton of classic warmth and signature sound to your recordings. Each module is Mac and Windows compatible and operates in VST, AU, and AAX formats.
Note:
The VMS ML-1 microphone and an iLok 2 or 3 (all available separately) are required to use these plug-ins.
SD-87 MKI
The SD-87 MK I perfectly captures the sound of this legendary studio microphone. As mics age, so do their internal components, and Slate Digital recreated that sound with pinpoint precision. This model gives you tons of vintage warmth and classic character that brings the vintage 87 to life.
SD-87 AI
The SD-87 AI is a more modern iteration of this classic microphone. First introduced in 1986, this mic offers an almost entirely flat response with a slight boost in the 10 kHz range. This gives producers an unprecedented level of flexibility, giving you crystal clear, transparent vocals every time.
SD-87 MKII
The SD-87 MK II delivers all the sound and clarity that made this mic a legend when it first came out. The first of its kind to feature solid-state FET circuitry, this microphone has been a fixture in studios around the world, graced by the voices of everyone from Marvin Gaye to Carly Rae Jepsen. If you're looking for the sound of a newly purchased 87, look no further.
