Aston之声

话筒不只是一个工具。它更是一种乐器,是您所有录音的核心。

所以,当我们着手开发一个新的话筒品牌时,产品理念对我们来说至关重要。我们最终录到的声音应当不仅仅是“不错 ”,还应当能够激发艺术家、制作人和工程师,赋予他们创作的灵感,以获得最好的艺术表现力。

从“Aston项目”一开始,我们就与业内一些顶级的音频专业人士合作,建立了一个开发小组作为Aston的“金耳朵”,同时我们专注于完善话筒中的每一个细节。我们坚信,最终产生的一定是同类中最优秀的产品。

我们是怎样做的?

在产品开发的每个阶段,我们的专业测试团队都会进行双盲听测试——由33位英国顶级制作人、工程师、现场调音师和艺术家组成的测试团队,我们将其称为Aston 33。

每个话筒极头都是从100多种设计中挑选出来的,这些盲听测试帮助我们了解在不同价位级别中最好的一些话筒之间有何区别。对于Origin和Spirit,我们选用了男女人声、打击乐和原声吉他进行了测试。而在Starlight的测试中,我们将原来的33测试团队扩展到超过70位顶级制作人员、艺术家和工程师组成的大团队,并使用了各种乐器声源,包括鼓、吉他甚至人声。

最后的测试,旨在挑选出每个Aston需要使用的极头。测试团队将5款不同极头的录音进行分级评价,选择出男女人声以及原声吉他都最好的一款。为了减少变量,每个极头都连接到一个相同的放大电路和底座,所以只能听到极头的差异。而后我们又反过来对放大电路进行同样的测试和挑选,使用同一款极头和不同的放大电路设计,以找到最好的声音。

 

对于Aston Origin心型电容话筒和Aston Spirit可变指向性电容话筒,测试团队最终的投票结果是非常明确的。其结果就是,不仅仅是对于其价位而言,即使超越自身的价位限定,这两只话筒的性能也完全可以称得上是您能买到最好的话筒。

Starlight为小振膜电容话筒开创了一个独特且出人意料的方案。因为Aston 33测试小组在最佳声音的选择上是完全分化对立的,一半的人喜欢老式的话筒声音,并讨厌更现代、明亮的话筒。而另一半人则完全相反。因此,我们从两组中分别选择了两个最佳选项,并为您提供了两种不同声音的选择。现在,Starlight拥有全模拟的、有源前端滤波器,是有史以来第一款提供多种电路路径发声选项的小振膜电容话筒。

Aston话筒,由英国工程师设计,由行业内最专业最挑剔的耳朵测试研发,并在英国制造。多棒的组合!

特别感谢

非常感谢Aston 33团队在开发产品方面给予我们的持续支持。如果没有你们的帮助,我们的品牌可能只是一家普普通通的话筒公司,但因为有了你们,我们成为了最好的!
