Aston Microphones Spirit Recording Bundle B

Description

Aston Spirit

The Aston Spirit is a high-performance, switchable pattern microphone utilising a 1-inch gold evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic body selects between Omni, Cardioid or Figure-of-Eight polar patterns. It is versatile enough to be used on most instruments and excels on vocals and acoustic guitar. The capsule, selected by Aston's 33, is coupled to a high-end balanced transformer circuit using only the best components.

The Spirit is designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with sparkling harmonics. This extremely accurate microphone gives a stunningly natural and transparent recording, capturing all the detail in the high range but without adding the harshness of some condenser microphones.
