From the stage to the studio. The Spirit is designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with a subtle high frequency boost. A handy switch on the microphones' body allows you to adjust between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure of eight polar patterns for even more tonal variety. The on-board filter and attenuation switches enable you to get the sound right at source so you spend less time fixing and more time mixing!
Designed and manufactured in the UK, using only the finest components. If you're after a microphone that will excel on any source you throw at it look no further at the Aston Spirit. This bundle also includes a Halo reflection filter for optimised recording in acoustically inadequate environments.

Built in pop-filter
The inclusion of a built in pop shield is perfect for automatically minimising the risk of undesirable plosives. Incredibly versatile, it also shields against electromagnetic radiation so buzz and hum won't ruin your recordings. Should you desire, the single piece mesh cage can easily be removed and cleaned.
Maximum aesthetic appeal
Not only does this microphone sound the part. It looks it too! Each Spirit chassis has been individually tumbled for up to four hours so no two are the same. One feature that makes the Spirit stand out from the crowd is its custom moulded end cap that features an integrated XLR input and adjustable microphone thread adapter. Take advantage of the microphone's shock absorption strategy. This allows you to mount it directly onto a stand without the risk of low-frequency energy dictating the final outcome!
Aston Halo Reflection Filter
Designed For Enhanced Performance
The unique design of the Aston Halo Reflection Filter improves room isolation and minimises any background noise, in turn improving audio fidelity and performance. The design and construction of the Halo Reflection Filter makes it home studio friendly, requiring less space than other reflection filters, giving the user a more ‘organic-feeling’ when it comes to performing. The unique, patented design is textured with a wave-formed surface which helps to diffuse direct sound and improve vocal performance. Not only with the filter help to improve vocal performances, the Halo Reflection Filter can also help to diffuse unwanted sounds when recording instruments such as acoustic guitars.
Patented, High-Tech Construction
The Aston Halo Reflection Filter features a patented PET felt construction, designed to be the most light and efficient felts on the planet, ideal for refracting unwanted sounds. The acoustic PET felt makes up most of the sound absorption field, filtering both and top and the bottom (not just horizontally). The PET felt is also comprised of 70 recycle PET plastic bottle material, making the filter efficient as it is environmentally friendly. The large surface and depth of the filter means it will capture every nuance of the vocal performance while minimises any background noise and nasty frequencies. It also easy to set up and install thanks to its lightweight proprietary ‘easy-mount’ hardware.
