Aston Microphones

Ideal for two-person voiceovers, broadcasts, and podcasts, this B&H Kit includes two Aston Microphones Stealth dynamic microphones and two broadcast arms with internal springs and integrated XLR cables. Thanks to four selectable tone settings, the ambience-reducing cardioid polar pattern, and a low-noise design, the Stealth offers clean and customizable sonic performance. Simply affix the two-section broadcast arms to a desk or table, attach the mics to the arms via the supplied quick-release stand mounts, then connect the mics to your preferred mixer or audio interface via the integrated XLR cables.4 Voicings for Different Sounds You'll find four voicings to aid you in matching the mic with different sound sources. V1 and V2 are designed for vocals. G is designed for guitars and is equally suited to Spanish guitar, electric guitar cabinets, and steel-string acoustics. D stands for dark; it's designed to give you a vintage sound reminiscent of classic ribbon mics.Contour Networks over EQ The Stealth mic does not utilize EQ filters. Instead, the mic utilizes 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 lower phase distortion than conventional filter designs.Active & Passive Modes The Stealth works with or without 48V phantom power. In passive mode, the active circuit is completely bypassed and the Stealth operates with the simplest possible signal chain. A built-in Autodetect function senses the presence of 48V phantom power and will automatically switch the mic to active mode to make use of a built-in, Class-A mic pre.Class-A Mic Pre in Active Mode When in active mode, Stealth offers a high-quality built-in Class-A microphone preamp, dispensing with the need for an external gain-lifting device.Internal Shockmount Aston Stealth includes a proprietary internal shockmount design with the capsule suspended in mid-air, isolated from the mic chassis, and supported at three points by Sorbothane polymer hemispheres. Sorbothane itself is a synthetic, visco-elastic urethane polymer used as a vibration damper and acoustic shield used in computing, hi-fi, and industrial applications.RFI & EMI Rejection The Stealth's capsule is fully enclosed in a stainless-steel Faraday cage that effectively blocks electromagnetic fields and keeps stray radio frequencies at bay. Indeed, Faraday keeps it all far away.Included Stand Mount The Aston Stealth uses custom-molded end caps with integrated XLR and a special design quick release stand mount. An included stand mount allows you to simply click the mic into place and release it just as quickly for storage, and this mount can angle the mic perfectly for any application.
