Aston Element wins ‘Gear of the Year’ award

“Aston has in many ways reshaped the microphone landscape with the Element.” Music Tech

Aston Element, ‘The People’s Microphone’, only just started shipping and yet it’s scooping every award going! Following its clean sweep of Music Tech magazine’s ‘Excellence’, ‘Innovation’ and ‘Value’ gongs – the first time a product has won all three – the leading publication and audio website has named Element winner of its coveted ‘Gear of the Year’ accolade. The annual honour is decided by public vote (rather fitting as that’s how the mic itself was developed!). Thank you to all of you who voted for Aston’s newest baby!

The magazine summarised; “Despite its small size, the microphone is packed with well-designed technology, which sees it outperforming vastly more expensive options in our tests and others.”  

“The mic’s vocal reproduction is faultless and, as a studio all-rounder, it throws itself headfirst at all tracking challenges. With its tempting bundle, which includes a magnetic pop filter and clip-on shock mount, Aston has in many ways reshaped the microphone landscape with the Element.”

This latest recognition comes hot on the heels of the revolutionary mic receiving Guitar magazine’s prestigious ‘Editor’s Choice’ award.

Element is causing singer/songwriters to realign their expectations of how an affordable mic should perform. It’s the world’s quietest mic, with the widest frequency response, and combines the best of dynamic, condenser and ribbon mic technology while pretty much eradicating their respective drawbacks. It comes with FREE Pop Filter, Shock Mount and 10 year warranty as standard – and all for £159/€179/$199 !!
