Aston Microphones

New brand - Made in UK!

Aston Microphones are the only mainstream microphone company still manufacturing many of their products in the UK, using locally sourced components where possible.

British sound has long been a driver of popular music; from the Beatles to Brit Pop, from Pink Floyd to Punk, the audio gear used - the spitting valve amps and the coal-fired mixing desks - had a sonic character today’s engineers still crave.

The digital age may have made most areas of music production easier, quicker and more affordable than ever, but the quest for that sonic holy grail of warmth, granularity and presence has put even more onus on capturing the performance superbly, at source.

A microphone is more than a functional tool. It is a musical instrument, and the very heart of

every recording you will ever make. So when the Aston Microphones brand was first conceived, the goal was to build mics that would inspire confidence, and therefore great performances, while delivering pristine, characterful audio to challenge some of the world’s most revered - and expensive - mics, but at a fraction of the cost.
