The new Aston Element is a unique side-pattern cardioid microphone, using an all-new 'Ridyon'™ capsule technology for superior performance at low cost. Like all Aston pickups, the Element incorporates a large number of innovations. The capsule technology, chassis design, magnetic pop filter, and even the backlit phantom power indicator go well beyond the limits of products normally sold at this price point.
Not only is Element extremely affordable, but it will consistently outperform any mic in its class. This can be said with confidence as more than 4,000 customers around the world have helped Aston define Element's sound in peer-reviewed blind listening tests, against the industry's leading brands. Over a three-month period of public testing, the mic's sound was developed based on data collected during these comparison tests, which included competitors from major brands like Blue, Rode, AKG, Audio Technica and Neumann.
