High-performance cardioid condenser mic, utilizing a 1-inch gold evaporated capsule designed to deliver direct, smooth and intimate sound for a natural and transparent recordings
The Aston Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone is built like a boutique microphone, using hand-selected capsules, high-end transformers, and custom capacitors. It’s signature Wave-Form Mesh Head is a unique design that not only makes the Origin stand out from other mics, but offers ultimate support of the mic capsule.
With Origin, there is no need for a separate windscreen. A mesh-knit pop-filter is built right into the Wave-Form head. It’s custom weave design allows great transparency, and virtually eliminates plosives and unwanted noise. The casing is formed in stainless steel, so it won’t rust with use, and can even be removed and washed.
Another great feature of the Origin is the custom End Caps, not found on any other microphone of its kind. The End Caps are designed to absorb high amounts of unwanted rumble from the floor, low end from the control room, or an adjacent isolation booth, completely removing the need of a third party shock-mount. The End Cap can be adjusted to fit any type of stand.
Every Aston microphone has a completely unique design on their chassis, which are individually tumbled for up to four hours to give it a tough exterior, and extremely beautiful finish. To top it all off, each microphone is engraved with Aston's brand mantra, ‘The art of performance’.

Choose the right one and your life just got easier. Choose the wrong one and you’ll be fighting an uphill battle all the way through the signal path. And nobody wants that. Continue reading →

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
