{"product_id":"aston-element-bundle","title":"Aston Element Mic Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Element from Aston Microphones is a large-diaphragm microphone with a proprietary, active dynamic Ridyon transducer that delivers the best of dynamic, condenser, and ribbon technologies to provide users with a warm, punchy, open sound. The Element has set world records as one of the quietest microphones available with one of the widest frequency responses of any electromagnetic mic ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and developed in the UK, the Element was produced with the contributions of thousands of musicians, engineers, and producers from all over the world, resulting in a microphone that outperforms most other mics in its price range, and many of those above as well. The Ridyon capsule performs with smooth tonality, like a ribbon, but with the extended high-frequency response and studio sound of a condenser as well as the tough resiliency of a dynamic microphone. Maintaining Aston's reputation for solid build quality, the body is durable and reliable, and the sleek microphone also includes a backlit LED behind the logo badge to let you know when the required 48V phantom power is coming through. The Element bundle also includes a proprietary shockmount with a one-click design specifically for the Element, and a unique magnetic pop filter that attaches in an instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eGreat for Vocals, Acoustic Instruments, Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eLarge-Diaphragm Dynamic Capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eSpecially Developed Ridyon Capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eActive Dynamic Tech for Punchy Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eExtremely Low Noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eRecord-Setting Wide Frequency Response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eBacklit LED Logo Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eQuality Aston Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-selenium=\"sellingPointsListItem\"\u003eIncludes Shockmount and Pop Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRidyon Capsule Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mic itself boasts brand new Ridyon capsule technology, combining the best elements of all 3 existing classes of microphone.

They participated in blind-listening tests rating, from best to worst, downloaded audio files of Element prototypes against leading competitors' mics (including some far costlier models) but without knowing which mic was which.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voting data was analyzed and the prototypes modified accordingly. The process would run for as many sessions as necessary until the Element was consistently receiving the majority vote. By the third session, Element was the panel’s clear favorite for both male and female vocals and also rating highly for acoustic guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary Shockmount and Pop Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stylish and highly effective shockmount, included as part of the mic bundle, has been designed specifically for the Aston Element to eliminate undesirable vibrations.

The proprietary magnets allow the filter to attach to the mic in a split second, and the magnets are shielded in such a way as to keep the capsule sound completely free of artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElement Type: Active Dynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eControls: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMaximum SPL: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e132 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAnalog Output: 1x XLR 3-Pin Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePower Sources: Phantom Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSound Field: Mono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm: 1.5\" \/ 38.1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Side Address\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuitry: Solid-State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise Level: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e3.8 dB (A-Weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Voltage: 48 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Thread Size: 5\/8\"-27 Female \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aston Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39351551492173,"sku":"AST-ELEMENT","price":279.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/products\/2034dad375f1a79db9f11f2f7f83d68e.jpg?v=1736546765","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/aston-element-bundle","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
