The random weave allows sound to pass while virtually eliminating unwanted plosives at the source .

Wave-Form Mesh Head
The Aston Origin has our signature waveform mesh head . This unique design not only looks great but delivers an unprecedented degree of protection for the heart of your microphone , the capsule . The shock resistant waveform design allows the head of the mic to distort if given a heavy knock , and then return to its normal position , without any damage at all . It also offers a degree of offaxis rejection , helping to eliminate unwanted artefacts from your recordings .
Chassis
Part of the beauty of our microphones is the custom finish of each chassis . There is no mass-produced paint job finish . Instead , each chassis is individually tumbled for up to 4 hours to give it a very hard-wearing , and extremely beautiful , finish . To perfect the look , each microphone is separately engraved with its legends and our brand mantra … ‘ The art of performance ’
