What's Included with the Perpetual License?

When you purchase a perpetual license for the Virtual Microphone System plugin with an ML-1A or ML-1 (legacy), it includes 18 microphone models across two collections:

🎧 Radio France Signature Collection

This exclusive pack includes 10 rare and iconic microphones curated by Radio France:

RF-X25
RF-88
RF-BB6
RF-21B
RF-149
RF-H64
RF-H64 Bonnette
RF Amethyste
RF-42B Voix
RF-42B Musique

ML-2 Note 📝
If you're using an ML-2 microphone, the perpetual license for Virtual Microphone System includes access to the Classic Instruments collection—these are the same instrument mic emulations available in Virtual Mix Rack. ML-2 users do not get access to the Classic Tubes or Radio France Signature Collections, as these were designed specifically for the ML-1 class microphones.

What's Not Included in the Perpetual License?

The following expansions are sold separately and not included by default:

Classic Tubes 3
Strongroom London
Classic 87
Blackbird Mics

Expansions are available for purchase here: 👉 https://slatedigital.com/microphone-models/

What If I Have an All Access Pass or Complete Access Bundle?

If you're a subscriber to the All Access Pass or Complete Access Bundle, you have access to:

The full Virtual Microphone System plugin
All available mic expansions (including the ones not included in the perpetual license)

✅ Important: The Virtual Microphone System plugin requires a compatible Slate Digital microphone to function. This includes the ML-1A, ML-1 (legacy), or ML-2. ML-2 users will only have access to the Classic Instruments collection within the plugin.

Access to the plugin and expansions will remain available as long as your subscription is active.
