The Aston Origin stands as a multi-award winning cardioid condenser microphone that combines a one inch gold evaporated capsule with high-end transformerless circuitry for supremely natural recordings. This versatile microphone excels across all instruments, particularly acoustic guitar and vocals for singer-songwriters, thanks to its hand-selected capsule and finest quality components that produce direct, smooth and intimate sound with transparent clarity.
SwiftShield brings together the innovative Aston Swift shock mount and Shield pop filter in one comprehensive bundle, creating the ideal studio vocal setup. The Swift shock mount revolutionises microphone mounting with its quick release spring clips that accommodate the Origin and other mics from 40-60mm diameter in seconds. Aston’s groundbreaking “ShockStar” suspension system eliminates troublesome rubber bands while providing exceptional elasticity for maximum isolation.
Renowned for innovative and emotive design, Aston creates microphones that function as both exceptional recording tools and works of engineering art. The Origin comes standard with built-in pop filtering and internal shock mounting that surpasses many competing microphones. While the Origin performs brilliantly on its own, the SwiftShield combination unlocks its full potential with professional-grade isolation and plosive control.
The Swift’s elegant open-fronted design showcases your microphone beautifully while providing the world’s fastest mounting system, working alongside the Origin’s internal shock absorption for supreme performance. The Shield utilises Aston’s Hextech perforation acid etching process for excellent pop control without tonal compromise, clipping on and off quickly when switching between vocal and instrument applications.
