Aston’s legendary Origin microphone has become a modern classic, not just in the home studio but in many professional recording facilities too. Now Origin is available as a stereo set, with two matched LDC cardioid condenser mics, a stereo mounting bar AND a pair of SwiftShield shockmount and pop filter sets. One Origin makes almost any sound source sound great - run two in stereo and it sounds AMAZING!
The Aston Origin Stereo Pair is priced to offer unprecedented value to stereophiles everywhere.
The Aston Origin is a high-performance cardioid condenser microphone utilising a one inch (1″) gold evaporated capsule. It's versatile enough to use with any instrument and, for singer-songwriters, excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is paired with high-end transformerless circuitry using only the finest components.
The Origin is designed to deliver direct, smooth and intimate sound, for a supremely natural and transparent recording.
