Aston Starlight Stereo Pair Bundle with Stand and Cables

Full Description

Aston Starlight Cardioid Microphone

Sintered metal head

sintering is not new to the microphone world, although Aston have taken the technology a step further than ever before. Aston tested multiple thicknesses of sintered head, as well as the average size of the sinter spheres and combined that with nickel plate which is controlled to only a few nano-metres thickness to achieve near perfect acoustic porosity. The head is virtually indestructible, so like all Aston microphones, it is capable of handling any amount of both studio and live use and will never let you down.

Integrated laser

The addition of a Class 2 laser to the Starlight SDC allows you to easily recall and replicate microphone positions. It also means, for touring bands, that mic positions can be marked off on drums etc, and set-up becomes quicker than ever before. This design is a world's first and a big leap in helping to achieve a consistent sound in any environment.

Voice switching

The Starlight offers three modes of operation thanks to innovative front-end filtering between the capsule and PCB. You have the option to choose between Vintage, Modern and Hybrid settings to ensure you get the perfect tone response for your application. Whether you're capturing guitar cabs, drums, strings or vocals, each setting has been carefully tuned to deliver unparalleled performance.

Tumbled chassis

Each Aston microphone features the 1.5mm stainless steel chassis that is tumbled for up to 4 hours to produce the beautiful signature finish.

Discrete amp circuit (PCB)

The Starlight pencil microphone employs an extremely fine-tuned discrete microphone amp circuit with high-spec components which results in an extremely sensitive and low noise design with loads of headroom. Capable of handling quiet or extremely loud sources without compromising noise or tonal performance, the final result is an incredibly clean and detailed sound. The voicing control utilises inductive active filters at the front-end of the microphone circuit to alter the response of the capsule without adding any noise to the circuit. The benefit of this means that the voicing switch is effectively the equivalent of changing the capsule to achieve different tonal characteristics and frequency response.

Deluxe Quick Release Boom Mic Stand by Gear4music

One hand push clutch

Height adjustment with this stand has been made quick and easy with the One Hand Clutch system. Instead of unscrewing the main body of the stand on a conventional stand, the clutch sits on the top of the main pole, allowing you to single-handedly move the stand up and down. This design is extremely practical for the gigging musician with an instrument in hand.

Telescopic boom arm

This stand features a fully adjustable boom arm, meaning that the user has full control over the exact placement of the microphone.
