Aston Element – Final Voting Session now LIVE
Aston Microphones have announced their 3rd and final public test session for the all new Aston Element, the world’s first ‘People’s Microphone’.
As Aston enters the 3rd month of public voting to help create the final sound of their new mic, they are teasing us with yet more information in this stunning new product. Rumours have been circulating about accessories and we’re now able to give you a first look at the entire package.
Like all Aston mics, Element incorporates a huge amount of innovation. Everything from new capsule technology, the chassis design, the uber-cool magnetic pop filter and custom shock mount, and even the backlit-LED logo 48V phantom power indicator (or as Aston likes to call it, ‘the cool light!’) go way beyond the limits of products in this class.
Over 4000 customers from across the world have helped, so far, to define the sound of Element in peer-reviewed blind listening tests against the biggest brands in the business. During the course of this 3-month public testing series, Aston have developed the sound of the mic using data collected from these comparison tests, which have included major brand competitors such as Blue, Rode, AKG, Audio Technica and Neumann.

James Young, Aston CEO, comments “We chose to put Element up against the mics we consider to be the best in their class, so we could push the boundaries of performance. All these brands make superb products, but our goal was to make a mic which is able, in blind tests, to be consistently voted as the favourite. Of course, this doesn’t mean it’s the ‘best’ because mic choice is very subjective. However, what it does mean is that, in these public tests, the majority of people prefer the sound they get from Element compared with big brand competitors… and that means that at the very least, you can be absolutely confident that you’ll get superb results every time.”
