Aston Microphones Origin Limited Edition - Black Bundle

Aston Origin

Beautiful + Superb Engineering + Excellent Sound

The multi-award winning Aston Origin Condenser Mic is a high-performance Cardioid Condenser Microphone utilising a 1″ Gold Evaporated Capsule. It is versatile enough to be used 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 such as WIMA Capacitors, the same Devices you’ll find in Boutique Microphones costing far more than the Origin. The Origin is designed to deliver direct, smooth and intimate sound for a Natural and Transparent Recording.

Wave-Form Mesh Head
The Aston Origin has a 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.

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 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 in Stainless Steel, so won’t rust with use, and can even be removed and washed.
