Description
Styled in a textured-black colouring scheme, the Aston Microphones Spirit Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone Bundle combines Aston's popular multi-pattern condenser microphone and a device that acts as both a shockmount and a pop filter. The mic itself utilises a 1" gold-evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic body selects between omni, cardioid, or figure-8 polar patterns. It is versatile enough to use with most instruments and excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is teamed with high-end transformer-balanced circuitry using only the best components.
The Spirit is designed to deliver an open sound with sparkling harmonics. This accurate microphone provides natural and transparent recording, capturing detail in the high range, but without adding the harshness that some condenser microphones tend to.
The mic has a textured black, mesh-knit pop filter built into the waveform head. The weave allows sound to pass while reducing unwanted plosives. This single-piece mesh cage is formed in stainless steel, so it won't rust with use and can even be removed and washed.
Included with this bundle is the Aston Swiftshield, which combines the company's Swift shockmount and their Shield pop filter to provide the most appropriate setup for your Spirit mic. The Aston Swift shockmount ensures no structural-borne vibrations from mic stands. It foregoes rubberbands, offering two quick-release spring clips designed to fit the Spirit. The Shield, on the other hand, offers even more protection against sibilance.
Key Features:
- Custom-moulded end caps with integrated XLR and stand adapter
- Harmonised circuit-stage arrangement for easy integration from phantom power input circuitry to capsule voltage bias
- Non-linear voltage/current-source rectification to provide controlled amplification and smooth/clear audio
