Aston Spirit Bundle

The Aston Spirit is a high-performance microphone with switchable polar patterns and a one-inch (1") gold-sputtered capsule. A switch on the microphone body allows you to toggle between the polar patterns of omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight. Its versatility makes it ideal for most instruments, and its qualities shine particularly with acoustic guitar and vocals. The hand-selected capsule is paired with a transformer-balanced high-end circuit. The circuit board and components meet the highest standards.

The goal in developing the Spirit was to achieve a beautiful, open sound with radiant overtones. This highly precise microphone allows for astonishingly natural and transparent recordings. It captures all the details in the highs without the harshness that is characteristic of some condenser microphones.
