Have you ever sat there, in the studio, after getting a particularly good drum sound on your overheads, and thought, “Wow, I wish these mics had laser pointers strapped to them so I could instantly recall this amazing drum sound!”? Have you tried to actualize this wish, taping laser pointers onto your mics, only to realize that the batteries don’t last, and the tape leaves a horrible, sticky residue?
With Aston Microphones Starlight Small Diaphragm Condenser microphones, this dream is now a reality—a much better, more consistent, and less sticky reality. With a laser target built right into the design, you can instantly recall mic positions in the studio, and set up great sound live. An on/off switch means you won’t have to keep your thumb down on some jury-rigged system to get your measurements, and moreover, you’ll be free to mark down positioning in the room, with pen, tape, Sharpie, or what have you.
But how does it sound, you might be wondering? This is Aston, a brand quickly garnering a sterling reputation. These mics fit right in line with that reputation, giving you a sintered metal head, a rugged housing, a low-noise design, much in the way of headroom, and voice switching between three modes for different tonal colorations. The mics are available in matched pairs, or as a single purchase. Pick up a set from us, and leave the laser pointers to their proper use: As cat toys for people too lazy to get off the couch.
