The Aston Origin is a high performance cardioid microphone using a 1 "capsule coated with a vapor deposited gold film. It is versatile enough to be used with most instruments and, for performing authors, it excels on acoustic guitar and vocals, its carefully selected capsule is paired with high-end transformerless circuitry using only the best components.
The Origin was our first design, the start of the adventure, and represents the essence of the Aston brand. Splendid and beautifully crafted, sound that rivals some of the best mics in the world ... the Origin is the first ever microphone that brings this level of technical and performance excellence to the home studio market. The Origin is the cornerstone of the Aston brand, our first mic, and a worldwide bestseller. Simple, yet incredibly well designed, and perfect for anyone from singer-songwriters, beginners, or industry professionals. The Origin's sound can best be described as "forgiving" ... without flattering or lying, the ultra-smooth and pure sound, yet rich in detail, won't overload harmonics and let you focus on the EQ. In fact, it sounds just like you.
There is a lot of subjective discussion around "such and such a mic for that application ... the perfect vocal mic, the perfect instrument mic etc" ... While this is sometimes true, it's often just about manufacturers. looking for an easy sale. Tell someone, "This is great for recording guitar," and they'll adopt this product. The truth is somewhat different from the marketing hype. Most good condenser microphones will be as comfortable with vocals as they are with various instruments. This is particularly true of the Origin and the Spirit, which can be found everywhere, for the voices of Noel Gallagher and Kylie Minogue or the drums of Arcade Fire and Geoff Dugmore (Elton John, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen) or even the live guitar recording on loudspeaker for Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
