Item Description

But what actually is the Element? Well, it's a side-fire, single pattern cardioid microphone. It boasts brand new 'Ridyon' capsule technology, which has been specially created in-house by Aston themselves. Harnessing 48V of phantom power, a seriously lightweight active moving coil diaphragm generates a level of performance and sensitivity that's usually reserved for high-end models. It manages to combine the noise rejection and powerful bass of a dynamic mic, with the more natural sound that characterises a ribbon. The capsule itself is actually larger than many of its immediate peers. However, this design decision ensures that the diaphragm can move freely, as well as a lot further. You'll find that this means it can handle much higher sound pressure levels before it actually distorts - not to mention an enhanced bass response. That's not all though. A 360 degree in-built suspension system benefits the mics overall architecture. Thanks to this style of suspension, the Element receives better protection against knocks and bumps, no matter the direction it comes from. This all helps to deliver a warm, natural sounding mic that not only operates at a high level of performance, but creates a great looking and affordable piece of gear too.
