From home studios to some of the world’s most famous recording facilities, Spirit has become a mainstay, revered for its natural warmth and crystal clarity - and for avoiding any of the harshness so many condensers suffer from. Today we’re celebrating the 5th birthday of our flagship LDC with a special limited edition anniversary model, featuring a stunning ‘full-sleeve’ engraved chassis whose design references the uniquely British heritage of the Aston brand. Only 2000 Aston Spirit 5th Anniversary Collector’s Editions will be produced worldwide so you’ll need to be quick! Custom engraved chassis Spirit’s signature solid steel chassis won’t chip or flake like the finishes on other mics so the special engraving on the 5th Anniversary model will look just as good in another 5, 10, or 50 years. And it’s the first Aston mic ever to get the ‘full-sleeve’ treatment. The Aston Sound Right from the start of ‘Project Aston’, we engaged with some of the top audio professionals in the industry to create a development panel to be our ears, while we focussed on perfecting every tiny detail in our mics, to finally produce what we believe to be the very best products in their class. Wave-Form Spring Head The Aston Spirit has our signature wave-form spring head. This unique design not only looks great, but delivers an unprecedented degree of protection for the heart of your microphone, the capsule. The shock-resistant wave-form design allows the head of the mic to distort if given a heavy knock, and then return to its normal position, without any damage. It also offers a degree of off-axis rejection, helping to eliminate unwanted artifacts from your recordings Built In Pop Filter Aston’s vocal condenser microphones have an exclusive mesh-knit pop filter built into the wave-form head. The random weave allows sound to pass while drastically eliminating unwanted plosives at source. It also shields against multiple wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation making our microphones ideal in critically sensitive electronic applications. This completely encapsulating, single piece, mesh cage is formed in stainless steel, so won’t rust with use, and can even be removed and washed. Direct To Stand Mounting Yet another unique design element of the Aston Spirit is the use of custom moulded end caps with integrated XLR and universal stand thread adaptor. Because the internal shock absorption system is so good, you can mount the microphone directly to a stand via this built-in thread and interchangeable thread adapter with outstandingly low handling noise. The design also makes Aston microphones extremely easy to repair and maintain. PCB A superbly balanced mix of discrete and integrated electronic circuitry Harmonised circuit stage arrangement for easy integration from phantom power input circuitry to the capsule voltage bias Novel non-linear voltage/current source rectification to provide controlled amplification and smooth/ clear audio output Eco-Friendly Packaging We have put our hearts and minds into creating the most beautiful performance pieces possible with each Aston product. When it comes to packaging we believe simplicity is king. Protective, re-useable, environmentally sensible packaging that doesn’t cost the earth. Happy Birthday to You! The Spirit represents one of the biggest engineering advancements in the microphone industry in decades. Nominated for the prestigious NAMM TEC Award in 2017 and universally acclaimed as one of the best mics on the market today at any price, it achieves a level of technical excellence and performance never before seen at this price point. Now, on the Spirit's 5th birthday, here's a chance to own a slice of history; a 360-degree engraved version of this modern classic. Remember, only 2000 Aston Spirit Anniversary Collector's Edition microphones will be produced!
