Aston Microphones Element Bundle - Ridyon capsule studio microphone with stand and pop filter The Element Bundle is a large-diaphragm active moving coil studio microphone designed for unparalleled performance, especially for vocals and acoustic instruments. The unique Ridyon™ capsule takes the best of dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphone technologies, without the drawbacks that each suffers from, and combines them into an elegant, lightweight yet durable work of art.In true Aston tradition, almost everything about the Element ', is patent-pending, from the all-new capsule to the signal-smoothing, contoured housing and that cool purple sign that confidently illuminates to indicate 48V phantom power is present. The included pop filter and shock mount are custom made, highly efficient and ingenious, so you can mount the mic in no time. And the whole kit costs less than some brands charge for just the flexible handle! Even the way the Element was built was a world first, and the final vote was decided by a public vote in which more than 4,000 early adopters took part in blind listening tests of Element prototypes , compared to leading models from other brands. The resulting masterpiece of microphone design features the widest frequency response of any electromagnetic microphone (ribbon or moving coil) ever produced. The Element is also the quietest (literally) studio microphone in the world! Most importantly, it sounds... amazing.
