Description

The Aston Stealth Cardioid Studio & Live Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.

The Stealth is the latest stunning display of microphone innovation from UK manufacturers Aston. Relative newcomers to the microphone field, Aston made waves with their Spirit, Origin and Starlight microphones. With the Stealth, they combined their expertise with extensive testing involving over 90 of the world’s top producers, artists and engineers. The result is a 4-voice microphone with a built-in mic pre that's truly breath-taking.

Key Features

  • Cardioid Studio and Live mic
  • 4 switchable voices for ultimate versatility
  • Broadcast quality sound in any context
  • Built-in Class A mic pre for a gain lift
  • Automatic phantom power detection for passive or active systems (world first!)
  • Unique Sorbothane internal shock mount system
  • Slick black finish with purple LEDs for subtle, modern aesthetic
  • Legendary Aston build quality
  • Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK

Versatile Microphone For Every Application

The Stealth is a broadcast quality microphone that’s designed not only for studio use, but for live too. It has 4 switchable voices to ensure that it suits any application: male and female vocals, guitars and dark-sounding instruments.

A built-in Class-A Mic Pre ensures a hefty gain lift when used with 48V phantom power. The Stealth provides balanced, crystal-clear sound without the need for any external signal boost or mic preamp. This is due in part to the fact that it was designed and thoroughly tested with Aston’s 33 test panel, comprised of some of the most reputable producers and artists in the business.

Finally, as with their Origin and Spirit microphones, the Stealth features built-in shock absorption. In this case, it’s achieved by a unique Sorbothane internal shock mount system. This polymer has been specifically designed for shock absorption, making it pretty much the best material in the business for this purpose – nothing else comes close!

Reviews & Awards

  • NAMM 2020 TEC Awards – nominated & won in the 'Microphones & Sound Reinforcement' category
  • "Reviewing the Stealth has been no small task – it’s virtually 4 mics in 1. The four modes offer a ton of flexibility in finding the right sound for your source… it is a very versatile microphone with truly unique features. I might go as far as to say that if I was stuck on a desert island with one microphone, this might be it. It’s got gain, it’s got character, and it just looks cool!" – Tape Op Magazine

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, high sound pressure handling, and controlled response. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amps, drums, and broadcast applications, where reliability and resistance to feedback are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud environments, making them a dependable choice for both stage and studio use.

Microphones

Microphones are essential tools for capturing sound in recording, broadcast, and live performance. Different microphone types are designed for different sources, environments, and uses, from studio vocals and instruments to live sound and field recording. Choosing the right microphone depends on factors such as sound source, room acoustics, sensitivity, and the character you want to capture.

Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Live

Live microphones are built for performance environments where reliability, durability and feedback control are essential. They are designed to handle high sound-pressure levels, resist handling noise and deliver consistent sound on stage, whether for vocals, instruments or spoken word.

Typically using dynamic or rugged condenser designs, live mics focus on clear projection and controlled pickup patterns to minimise bleed from other instruments. They are a staple of gigs, rehearsals and touring setups, providing dependable sound quality in demanding, real-world conditions.

Studio

Studio microphones are designed for high-quality recording where detail, accuracy and tonal balance are essential. They are used in professional and home studios to capture vocals and instruments with clarity, depth and a wide frequency response.

Commonly condenser or ribbon designs, studio mics are valued for their sensitivity and ability to pick up subtle nuances. They are ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads and detailed sound sources, making them a core part of any recording setup where sound quality is the priority.
