The Aston Spirit is a high-performance, switchable pattern, microphone utilizing a 1 inch 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.
Aston Microphones have put their hearts and minds into creating the most beautiful performance pieces possible with each Aston product. When it comes to packaging, simplicity is king. Protective, re-useable, environmentally sensible packaging that doesn’t cost the earth.
Anti-conformist, accessible and essential. Each Aston microphone is a flawless blend of passion, soul and purpose. The blend of ‘stop and stare’ dramatic design, exceptional engineering and unrivalled craftsmanship combine to create an emotional experience, something you feel each time you look at one of Aston's mics. A manifestation of Aston's passion, Aston microphones and filters are not just exceptionally well-engineered performance instruments; they are works of art which will inspire you to be your best.
Wave-Form Mesh Head
The Aston Spirit has our signature wave-form 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 wave-form 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.
