Description

Winning multiple awards for its sound and special physical design, the Aston Spirit Black Bundle features a limited-edition, black version of the Spirit mic and Aston’s Swiftshield pop filter and shockmount set. This large-diaphragm condenser microphone boasts a sonic signature developed in cooperation with a panel of industry professionals and three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. Not only is it tonally versatile enough to use with most instruments and vocals, but it’s also tough enough to take abuse and spring back to life. Plus, it has pad and high-pass filter switches to increase its flexibility even more.

Inside, the mic features a 1″ dual-diaphragm, gold-evaporated capsule and high-end transformerless circuitry to ensure audio performance far outside its price point. An integral mesh-knit pop filter softens vocal plosives without coloring tone, and the stainless steel wave-form spring head simultaneously protects the capsule from knocks and enhances off-axis sound rejection. The internal shockmount system and integrated stand mount allow direct-to-stand mounting while maintaining isolation from vibration noise. The included Swiftshield  provides added protection against vibration and vocal plosives, and gives a classic “big studio mic” appearance. Being an XLR-equipped solid-state condenser mic, the Spirit requires 48V phantom power from an XLR-connected audio interface, mic preamp, or mixer.
