Key Features
The Aston Element is a premium-quality condenser microphone with a unique, sleek design complete with a magnetic pop filter and shock mount designed for recording vocals and instruments.
The Element is in a league of its own. The condenser microphone is the end result of 18 months of hard work, and three months of listening tests, involving over 4,000 participants worldwide. The Element is a hybrid microphone. It is designed to provide you with the detailed capture of a condenser, the excellent bass response, and off-axis rejection of a dynamic, as well as the wholly natural sound of a ribbon microphone.
It's rare to come across a new microphone that holds its own against iconic microphones from legendary brands but the Element certainly does not disappoint. It provides an incredible sound at a cost that won't break the bank!
Nearly New: This product may have been opened for quality control purposes, returned by a customer, refurbished, or may have non-essential parts or software missing. Otherwise, the product operates as new. This is a great opportunity to buy a fully functioning product at a discounted price.

The Viewer’s Edition Microphone is the culmination of years of research and crowdsourced decisions for the unique design. Project Element was conceived from the opinions of over 4000 musicians, engineers and music producers. These artists helped to advise on over 36,000 data-points, ensuring their suggestions were taken in at every step of development. The Element is a premium quality condenser microphone that accurately reflects the wants and needs of the general public and certainly does not disappoint.
The Aston Element Microphone was curated by the Aston Voter’s Team, basing the design on the votes and decisions of Aston enthusiasts. The unique design embodies element from multiple microphone types. The microphone is not the conventional condenser, ribbon or dynamic design; it utilises a unique and specially-developed capsule to deliver the distinctive sound.
The custom “active moving coil” technology provides an ultra-speedy transient response as well as an extended low-end response. The resulting sound is warm and detailed with immersive sound staging. The Element also boasts a magnetic pop shield. This can be set up in seconds. Long gone are the awkward days of having to attach pop shields to your microphone stand and constantly adjust them.
"Aston’s Element is packed full of innovative design technology and outperforms many more expensive microphones. A brilliant all-rounder, it’s particularly good for vocals yet can handle bass and volume easily." MusicTech Magazine (read the full review here)
"The Element is like a breath of fresh air in the affordable microphone market." Sound on Sound (read the full review here)
"When I told (the engineers) that the cost of the mic, cradle and pop shield was under £160 they couldn’t quite believe it.” Making Music (read the full review here)
