“It was Vahagn who introduced me to Aston Microphones. It was a strange-looking microphone, the Spirit, and I was thinking “What IS this?’ I gave it a try and I was blown away man. From that day it’s been my go-to mic, I really fell in love with the quality, and it just… just works!
I used it for a rap vocal and it sounded amazing, pop vocals, male, female, man, that mic sounds great on anything!
Then he told me the price and I said; ‘are you SURE ?’ because I’m thinking of good mics costing three or four times as much. I was blown away. I’ve tried the smaller one, the Origin, too although for me the Spirit’s better. Sound-wise there’s no good or bad, just different. The Spirit just seems to suit most vocals and I like multi-pattern versatility.
I’m looking forward to trying the Stealth. I really like that you can change the character on it [with the four built-in voices] and that you can use it in passive as a dynamic or active – really cool futuristic stuff!”
