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’
