ASTON ELEMENT BUNDLE C/W Condenser Mic, Pop Filter & Shock Mount
ASTON ELEMENT BUNDLE C/W Condenser Mic, Pop Filter & Shock Mount
Description
The Aston Element is a large diaphragm, active moving coil studio microphone designed to deliver unparalleled performance. Its unique Ridyon™ capsule takes the best features of dynamic, condenser and ribbon mic technology, without the drawbacks each tend to suffer from, and rolls them all into a sleek, lightweight-yet-tough, beauty. Element was developed with the final voicing decided by public vote, with more than 4000 early adopters participating in a series of blind listening tests of Element prototypes against other brands’ leading models. The resulting masterpiece of microphone design features the widest frequency response of any electromagnetic microphone ever made. Element is also the quietest studio microphone on the planet! Most importantly it sounds incredible.
The sound you voted for
Through several rounds of blind listening tests against competitors’ mics, you have helped make Element the best sounding mic, not just in its class, but a rival for many far costlier options.
Ridyon™ capsule technology
The mic itself boasts brand new ‘Ridyon’™ capsule technology, combining the best elements of all 3 existing classes of microphone. Utilising 48 V phantom power, the mic’s incredibly lightweight Active-moving-coil-diaphragm delivers high end condenser mic sensitivity and performance, with the punchy bass and rejection capability of a great dynamic mic and the open, natural, sound of a ribbon.
Glowing backlit purple badge
Aston fans will know that purple is our colour, and on the Element we’ve made the mic badge backlit so you know when phantom power is present. And it looks…. beautiful!
Unique magnetic pop filter included
Included in the Element bundle is an ingenious, proprietary magnetic pop filter which attaches in a split second to keep plosives and ‘esses’ at bay. No other pop shield works this way, and we’ve shielded the magnets from the capsule so the sound remains completely free of artefacts.
Proprietary shock mount included
This stylish and highly effective shock mount, included as part of the mic bundle, has been designed specifically for the Aston Element to eliminate undesirable vibrations.
