Discover the super microphones
Aston Origin and Aston SPIRIT
Aston Origin
The Aston Origin is a high-performance cardioid condenser
microphone utilizing one inch (1″) gold evaporated capsule. It
is versatile enough to use with most instruments and excels
on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is
teamed with high-end Transformer-less circuitry using only
the best components.
Aston SPIRIT
The Aston SPIRIT is a switchable pattern, microphone
utilizing a 1” gold evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic
body selects from Omni, Cardioid or Figure-of-Eight polar
patterns. It is versatile enough to use with most instruments
and excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected
capsule is teamed with high-end transformer balanced
circuitry using only the best components. The Spirit is
designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with sparkling
harmonics. This highly accurate microphone gives a
stunningly natural and transparent recording, capturing
all the detail in the high range but without adding the
harshness that some condenser microphones seem to.
Features:
Built-In Pop Filter
Aston’s vocal condenser microphones have an exclusive
mesh-knit pop filter built into the wave-form head. The
random weave allows sound to pass while virtually
eliminating unwanted plosives at the source. It also shields
against multiple wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation
making our microphones ideal in critically sensitive
electronic applications. This completely encapsulating,
single piece, mesh cage is formed of stainless steel, so won’t
rust with use, and can even be removed and washed.
Wave-Form Mesh Head
The Aston Origin has our signature waveform mesh head.
This unique design not only looks great but delivers an
unprecedented degree of protection for the heart of your
microphone, the capsule. The shock resistant waveform
design allows the head of the mic to distort if given a heavy
knock, and then return to its normal position, without any
damage at all. It also offers a degree of off-axis rejection,
helping to eliminate unwanted artefacts from your
recordings.
Chassis
Part of the beauty of our microphones is the custom finish
of each chassis. There is no mass-produced paint job
finish. Instead, each chassis is individually tumbled for up
to 4 hours to give it a very hard-wearing, and extremely
beautiful, finish. To perfect the look, each microphone
is separately engraved with its legends and our brand
mantra… ‘The art of performance’
