Aston Apex Storm is the moody, matt grey version of the new Apex active/dynamic handheld microphone. Apex rises above the current crop of dynamic clones, by offering the power and flexibility our live performer and engineer community have been asking for.
Firstly, there’s a choice of two voices, derived from the TEC Award-winning Aston Stealth. These are discrete signal paths, with no EQ presets or modelling in sight. You get a choice of two world-class vocal voicings without having to swap mics out. Secondly Apex operates in passive or active modes; a built-in Class A preamp engages automatically when 48v phantom power is present, providing 20dB of super-clean boost to ensure live vocals cut through the mix live, just as they do on the studio recordings. An aerodynamically tuned head further enhances on-axis focus..
