Surprisingly good
Vujekvasyl 29.01.2020
I bough two and I use them as close drum overheads instead of previously used AKG 214 or AKG 451 which I both considered very useful. This mic is very good indeed. Sounds very analogue and "vintage" - it reminds me the sound of a mike that has already been recorded on magnetic tape. Requires quality preamp though.

(Added X 2020) Meanwhile I bought another two Origins to another studio. It turns out that it does not "cooperate" with some preamps !! When connected to Focusrite Liquid4Pre it created quiet tone with a lot of noise. Apparently an impendance issue but on a scale that I haven't seen before. It sounds well with Joemeek TwinQ, Focusrite Isa though.

Brilliant mic for a great price!
SCD Productions 15.12.2021
This mic will surely stand out, not only with its great looks, but the sound and quality is something to point out here. This mic simply sounds great with vocals and instruments. Get one while they’re still handmade in the UK!

This is a game changer
SerdarY. 09.07.2020
I recently bought it and I surprised when I record out my metal sound.

High end, low end and mid's are really impressive, I definitely recommend.

Value for money
Anonymous 05.04.2017
This microphone is an absolute must have. A single pattern condensor microphone from a very young company, Aston Microphones are definitely making themselves known with their unique style & brand of microphones and accessories. The microphone itself has a built in pop filter which surrounds the diaphragm and also has a built in shock mount which is very handy for those who do not have their own separate shock mounts. Recording quality out of this microphone is superb and is a definite contender against the likes of AKG or even Neumann especially when put through the right pre-amp.

Very good quality for its price
annahetkinen 16.08.2021
A relatively cheap microphone with great, clear sound! I have a very loud voice and with the right settings this microphone could handle it really good, without hearing distortions. Used it for recording a few times, I´m really satisfied with it so far!

Great microphone for vocals and instruments!
douglasives 16.07.2020
Sounds brilliant, not just for vocals, rugged, looks amazing, good price!

Pros: Works great on vocals and instruments: I've recorded male vocals, trombone, and acoustic guitar and they all sound excellent. Incredible quality for the price, it feels like it's built to last.

Cons: Not really a con as I haven't seen another microphone with an inbuilt pop filter, but I would say requires an external pop filter if you're going to be recording lots of vocals.
