I heard the sonic reviews of this microphone on Vintage Audio King and I was sold! I haven't had a chance to put it through a thorough test on several instruments, but I did test it out on a vocal. I love the mild and natural shelving filter that takes out just a bit of the boom; it's much less drastic than the filter on my UAD 4-710d preamp. I look forward to using this mic on guitars, drums, vocals and everything else I can try it out on. It's so versatile with its switchable polarities from omni, cardioid, and figure 8 patterns. And, the best part is the quality for the price. If you need a good all purpose mic and you’re on a slim audio budget, don't hesitate to purchase an Aston Spirit, or several.

The Aston Spirit is a large diaphragm condenser mic. This is a great mic for the cost. The unique design and integrated pop screen, plus the beautiful and open sonic quality is outstanding. With multiple polar patterns, 3 different PAD levels; 0db -10db and -20db plus 80hz high pass right on the mic its a great choice for the studio mic locker. Requires 48 volt phantom power.

Aston Spirit is my new favorite mic for vocal recording. Unlike many high-end condensers, Spirit is not hyper-sensitive, overly bright or difficult to manage. In cardioid position, vocalists appear natural with a slight forward presence —a very attractive personal sound. The best surprise: Spirit easily competes with the top coveted tube condensers of the world —no exaggeration.
