Aston Microphones announce incredible new dynamic microphone named Stealth

In January 2019 Aston Microphones exists for three years. Great moment for some celebrations - of course with a new product! Over the past three years, Aston has battled their way into the music industry with incredible hardware. In just a short time Aston won the hearts of many professionals in the audio industry. Affordable products, crafted in the UK with the best quality - the formula seems to work.

The Origin, Spirit and Halo have become industry standard mics in just a short time for professionals to bedroom producers.

Aston decided to end this great year with a BANG!

The Aston Stealth

Aston reveals the Aston Stealth cardioid - a revolutionary broadcast quality microphone for studio and stage. The microphone has four switchable voices settings delivering unparalleled performance in almost any situation. What makes this revolutionary? The Aston Stealth is worlds first microphones that auto-detect 48V phantom power and automatically switches the mic to active mode. Phantom power mode is indicated by the soft glow purple LED floodlights, which can also be switched off. The Stealth includes a unique Sorbothane internal shock mount system and of course the quality that you expect from Aston!

Aston Stealth testing and settings

The Aston Microphones testing process goes deep. The Stealth is developed with more than 90 top engineers, producers and artists. They collected more than 9000 data points. The testing process includes blind listening, to ensure the best quality as possible. The test also resulted in the four switchable voice settings which are Vocal 1, Vocal 2, Guitar and Dark. Approach it as four microphones in one which has been tested compared to other mics in the same price range, and way more expensive microphones.

Aston Stealth got two vocal settings, optimized for different vocal textures, a guitar setting which is equally suited to Spanish guitar, Electric guitar cab and steel string acoustic, and a dark, vintage environment, reminiscent of classic ribbon mics.

Aston Microphones states:
"The voice settings are not EQ filters, they are contour networks, meaning the bulk of the signal does not pass through any sort of filter circuitry. The whole signal is slightly attenuated, with some frequencies being added back in at a higher level. This results in much lower phase distortion than conventional filter designs."

'This all makes the Stealth one of worlds most versatile microphones on the market! We can't wait to have a closer look at the Aston Stealth and serve you an in-depth review!'

The Aston Stealth is available in for €339 - January 2019.
