This is the video review of the best microphone for $249. Moreover, according to the sound test of this microphone, sound of Aston Origin is better than almost all microphones up to $1000.
How is this possible?
Aston Microphones - a new British manufacturer of microphones. In the process of developing a microphone Aston Origin Top 33 British expert in the field of audio recording were involved. At each stage of development of microphone in blind tests every detail of the microphone (from the housing and board to the capsule) were repeatedly altered to achieve reference sound.
As a result of this work has turned the microphone with a clean bright sound. Moreover, the voice recorded to the Aston Origin in virtually needs no processing.
All microphones, which I used before Aston Origin need equalization. I had to use the equalizer and exciter to make a sound "closer" and brighter. Origin sounds so that the processing is reduced to a small compression.
The second advantage of microphone - he is not afraid to shock and falls. The safety grid is made so that it can not to be dented or broken. She assumes the impact energy in the event of the fall of the microphone from the stand, deformed, but can quickly restore the original shape. The internal grid of randomly woven metal fibers and serves as a pop-filter and as an excellent shield, which protects the capsule from electromagnetic interference.
Through this structure, there is no need to use a pop filter.
Also, there is no need for a shock absorber. Since the microphone capsule inside already has a shock absorber, which protects against damage to the capsule in the fall and does not allow vibrations of the microphones body influence the sound.
Great sound, great price, no need pop-filter and shock absorber, not afraid of falling.
