The Origin is designed to deliver direct, smooth and intimate sound… for a supremely natural and transparent recording.
Features:
- Wave-Form Spring Head - The shock resistant wave-form design allows the head of the mic to distort if given a heavy knock, and then return to its normal position, without any damage.
- Built-In Pop Filter - Aston's vocal condenser microphones have an exclusive mesh-knit pop filter built into the wave-form head. The random weave allows sound to pass while drastically eliminating unwanted plosives at source.
- Direct to Stand Mounting - Features custom moulded end caps with integrated XLR and universal stand thread adaptor.
- PCB Circuitry - A superbly balanced mix of discrete and integrated electronic circuitry. Non-linear voltage/current source rectification to provide controlled amplification and smooth/ clear audio output.
