Aston Spirit
The Aston Spirit is a high-performance, switchable pattern,
microphone utilising a one inch, dual diaphragm, gold
evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic body selects from
Omni, Cardioid or gure-of-eight polar patterns. It is versatile
enough to use with most instruments in addition to main
and backing vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is teamed with
high-end transformer balanced circuitry using only the highest
quality electronic components. Its dual pad option allows it to
accommodate very high SPLs while its low cut lter cuts the
ultra-lows.
The Spirit is designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with
sparkling harmonics. This microphone is capable of delivering a
stunningly natural and transparent sound with just a subtle hint
of attery, capturing all the detail in the high range but without
adding the harshness that some capacitor microphones are
prone to.
