Aston Microphones Spirit 5th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Overview
The Aston Microphones Spirit 5th Anniversary Collector's Edition is a high-performing condenser microphone. From powerful drums to subtle acoustics, and dynamic vocals to muted brass. You name it. The Spirit captures it with conviction. Now boasting a full-sleeve engraved chassis, this limited edition design celebrates 5 years of Aston's flagship microphone and its unique British heritage.
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!

To celebrate five years of the Spirit, Aston have released this limited run of a unique engraved design. It celebrates its British heritage, as Aston are one of the few remaining microphone manufacturers continuing to operate in the UK. Its characterful full-sleeve design will attract anyone's attention! This special design is the perfect centrepiece for any collector's microphone locker. There's a limited number in stock, so get them while they last!
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.
Style and function
Not only does this microphone sound the part. It looks it too! Aside from the stunning engraved sleeve of this 5th anniversary edition Spirit microphone, 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!
