However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Aston Microphones Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone is one of the most remarkable cardioid condenser microphones available on the market. At the heart of the microphone is the hand-selected capsule, combined with the professional-grade transformer-less circuitry to achieve stellar audio fidelity. The Origin Microphone boasts Aston’s signature wave-form mesh head. This exclusive design provides unparalleled protection for the mic’s capsule.
The mesh head boasts a shock resistant wave-form design. It works by allowing the head of the microphone to distort when hit hard, then instantly returning to its normal position. This helps to minimise any damage from accidental dropping, as well as providing subtle off-axis rejection, helping to remove artefacts from your recordings.
One of the most unique and convenient features of the Aston Origin is the integrated pop filter. The mesh-knit pop filter is built into the wave-form head, helping to boost audio performance. It works by combating wind noise that you may incur from vocal recordings. This results in eliminating sibilance and plosive sounds at the source.
It also helps to shield against electromagnetic radiation, so you can use it in an electronic-heavy environment without worrying about crosstalk or sound colouration. The single-piece, mesh cage is constructed in stainless steel. This helps to keep rust at bay and it can even be removed and washed for added convenience.
The wide frequency range and premium-grade components ensure the Aston Origin picks up every nuance from your source material in immense detail. The tone it delivers is reminiscent of vintage-style condenser microphones, retaining the warmth and richness from your source material. The cardioid capsule and high SPL make the Origin one of the most well-rounded microphones available. The high SPL means it can handle recording high-level instruments, but it is primarily suited to vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. It features an integrated -10dB and low-cut filter for helping to cater to different recording situations.
Every Aston Origin Microphone features a custom finish on each chassis. The premium-grade design is tumbled for up to 4 hours, giving each of the microphones their own unique design characteristics. The individually catered designs don’t affect the sound or quality of the microphone, but help to set the microphone out from the mass-produced studio microphones.
One of the most unique design elements is the custom moulded end caps, featuring an integrated XLR and stand adapter. This allows you to mount the microphone directly to a stand via the integrated, interchangeable thread adapter. It also makes the microphone easy to maintain and repair should you need to.
The Aston Microphones Shield GN Pop Filter is a premium-grade pop filter, utilising innovative HexTech technology filtering technology. The combination of revolutionary design aspects, provides you with optimal protection from sibilance and plosive noises. This results in a clearer vocal recording, ensuring optimal audio fidelity and performance from your microphone. The innovative design features precisely acid etched hexagonal filter holes providing exceptional acoustic performance. It is engineered to provide a perfect fit on any microphone stand, with a high-quality gooseneck for finding the perfect position for your filtering needs.
The stainless steel construction not only looks sleek but ensures a long-life and optimal durability. The large surface area curves around the microphone, ensuring the filter eliminates all unwanted vibrations before they hit the mic. The hygienic filter is also washable for added flexibility, allowing you to keep your filter in the best possible shape. The mounting system makes connecting and fitting the filter to your mic stand, a breeze. This allows you to get set up and ready to record within seconds.
The Aston Microphones Premium Universal Shock Mount is a studio-grade microphone mount designed to fit condenser, tube and other professional microphones. The universal design fits any microphone with a diameter measuring between 40 and 60mm. The innovative design utilises custom ShockStar technology for ultimate mechanical isolation, ensuring any structure-borne noise and unwanted vibrations are eliminated. This ensures optimal audio fidelity and clearer vocal recordings, ensuring the purest signal integrity possible. The versatile design boasts no rubber bands, instead opting for the ShockStar suspensions system, which provides high levels of elasticity for maximum effectiveness.
The unique construction is robust thanks to the premium-grade components. The mount is constructed from a combination of Aluminium and glass-filled nylon polymer, complete with the custom medical-grade latex suspensions for optimal support. The mounting system has also been optimised, providing a quick and easy way to get setup within seconds. The combination of professional expertise and years of expertise have resulted in the ultimate shock mount system for virtually any microphone.
