The Korena take

Slate Digital’s ML-2 is a small-diaphragm modeling microphone with a linear, flat frequency response. Its compact format makes it useful where a larger microphone cannot be placed. A side-mounted switch both pads the input circuit and repolarizes the capsule to increase headroom. On instruments such as drums, that switch allows dynamic and condenser emulations to be used without moving the microphone, keeping the physical placement unchanged while changing the emulation approach.
