The Aston Microphones Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone is one of the most remarkable cardioid condenser microphones available on the market. At the heart of the microphone is the hand-selected capsule, combined with the professional-grade transformer-less circuitry to achieve stellar audio fidelity.
The Origin Microphone boasts Aston’s signature wave-form mesh head. This exclusive design provides unparalleled protection for the mic’s capsule. The mesh head boasts a shock resistant wave-form design. It works by allowing the head of the microphone to distort, when hit hard, then instantly returning to its normal position. This helps to minimise any damage from accidental dropping, as well as providing subtle off-axis rejection, helping to remove artefacts from your recordings.
One of the most unique and convenient features of the Aston Origin is the integrated pop filter. The mesh-knit pop filter is built into the wave-form head, helping to boost audio performance. It works by combating wind noise that you may incur from vocal recordings. This results in eliminating sibilance and plosive sounds at the source.
It also helps to shield against electromagnetic radiation, so you can use it in an electronic-heavy environment without worrying about crosstalk or sound colouration. The single-piece, mesh cage is constructed in stainless steel. This helps to keep rust at bay and it can even be removed and washed for added convenience.
The wide frequency range and premium-grade components ensure the Aston Origin picks up every nuance from your source material in immense detail. The tone it delivers is reminiscent of vintage-style condenser microphones, retaining the warmth and richness from your source material.
The cardioid capsule and high SPL make the Origin one of the most well-rounded microphones available. The high SPL means it can handle recording high-level instruments, but it is primarily suited to vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. It features an integrated -10dB and low-cut filter for helping to cater to different recording situations.
Every Aston Origin Microphone features a custom finish on each chassis. The premium-grade design is tumbled for up to 4 hours, giving each of the microphone their own unique design characteristics. The individually catered designs don’t affect the sound or quality of the microphone, but help to set the microphone out from the mass-produced studio microphones. One of the most unique design elements is the custom moulded end caps, featuring an integrated XLR and stand adapter. This allows you to mount the microphone directly to a stand via the integrated, interchangeable thread adapter. It also makes the microphone easy to maintain and repair should you need to.
This reflection filter is extremely well built, making it durable and rugged. The heavy duty metal chassis has been moulded around the microphone mount in a carefully designed arc shape in order to create the best acoustics possible for your recording. The high quality acoustic foam absorbs any reflections and echoes from vocals or instrumental playing in order to give a perfect dry sound. for your mix.
The reflection filter is ideal for the home studio engineer owing to its hinged folding design. This means that the filter can fit in as small a space as possible, making it ideal for smaller recording locations where storage space is at a premium.
The Boom Mic Stand by Gear4music is height, tilt and swivel adjustable with a 830mm boom and a tripod base which keeps it stable during use. It is durable and robust to endure daily studio use and the demands of gigging.
Microphone Pop Filter Shield for Mic Stand by Gear4music is a studio accessory that protects your recordings from picking up vocal plosives which could otherwise cause popping on your recordings. The flexible gooseneck and adjustable swivel mount mean you can accurately position the pop shield in front of any mic easily.
