'Time For Some Singing' - Gary Barlow with the Aston Spirit
How cool is that? Gary Barlow recently posted this photo of the Aston Spirit mic he’s using to track vocals from his Los Angeles apartment. In addition to favouring the Spirit as his go-to condenser mic, he is also using the Aston Shield GN, our brand-new pop filter which fits on any stand in seconds – and stays there – to ensure no breaks in the creative flow.
In a recent article, Gary also told us how he now uses an Aston Halo reflection filter to control the room acoustics wherever he finds himself singing. Read the article here:
Gary has been busy lately, writing the music for a new version of the musical Calendar Girls, which is touring the UK through 2018 and into 2019, working on his new Official Autobiography ‘A Better Me’ and, of course, working with Take That on the forthcoming greatest hits album and world tour - plus the media commitments that accompany all the above.
Gary’s official autobiography ‘A Better Me’ is out on 4th October and available to pre-order from Amazon. Click here for details:

About the Aston Spirit 
The Aston Spirit is a high-performance switchable pattern microphone utilising a 1” gold evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic body selects from Omni, Cardioid or Figure-of-Eight polar patterns. It is versatile enough to use with most instruments and excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its Aston 33 panel selected capsule is teamed with high-end transformer balanced circuitry using only the best components.
The Spirit is designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with sparkling harmonics. This highly accurate microphone gives a stunningly natural and transparent recording, capturing all the detail in the high range but without adding the harshness that some condenser microphones seem to.
