ASTON MICROPHONES / SPIRIT

The ASTON SPIRIT achieves high sound quality, durability, and beautiful design, surpassing conventional wisdom about condenser microphones. With its switchable polar pattern, it's suitable for a wide range of genres, including vocals, a wide range of instruments like acoustic guitar and drums, and even orchestral recording.

■Condenser Microphone
■High-Quality Aston Sound Using Carefully Selected Capsules
Over 100 microphone capsules were auditioned under the supervision of over 30 professional engineers, producers, and musicians. Using carefully selected capsules ensures the high-quality Aston Sound.

■Wave-Shaped Mesh Head Protects the Capsule.
The uniquely designed wave-shaped mesh head is flexible and self-deforming, absorbing external impacts and protecting the microphone capsule. If the mesh head becomes distorted, it can be easily returned to its original position by simply gripping it with your hand, so even if it is accidentally bumped, it can be quickly restored to its original shape.

■Tumbled Body for Incredible Durability
The body is polished through prolonged tumble processing, showcasing the beauty of the material to the point that painting is unnecessary. The unique finish is scratch-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, allowing for reliable use even in demanding environments.

■Built-in Pop Filter Reduces Setup Hassle.
The woven mesh pop filter eliminates unwanted noise. It also blocks various electromagnetic waves, protecting the microphone capsule while providing an ideal recording environment.

■A built-in stand adapter allows it to be set up directly on a microphone stand.
The unique design of Aston microphones can also be seen on the bottom of the microphone. In addition to the microphone terminal (XLR terminal), a stand adapter is built in. Combined with the highly shock-absorbing design, it can be set up directly on a microphone stand without a shock mount.

■All design, development, and assembly are carried out in the UK.
Not only design and development, but all work, including the processing and assembly of various parts, is carried out in the UK. It incorporates a wealth of British industrial technology and boasts the slogan ""Built in Britain.""
