Key Features
Unique design meets high performance. Whether in the studio, or on-stage, the Aston Microphones Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone is the ultimate trick to have up your sleeve. Consisting of a 1" gold-evaporated capsule, this condenser microphone is designed to excel on any source. Seriously. From drums to strings, and choirs to cranked cabinets. You'll be hard pressed to find a source this doesn't excel on.
Achieving great sounds is as easy as pointing the microphone in-front of the source and pressing record. The Origin's unique frequency response provides a gradual low-frequency lift for depth and body, whilst the high-end boost adds "sheen" and that elusive "record-ready" sound, without sounding harsh or brittle. The relatively flat nature of the EQ means the condenser will respond well to any equaliser.
What's more, the cardioid polar pattern guarantees an incredibly focussed sound with fantastic off-axis rejection of undesirable noise and ambience. Made from the finest components, enhance the quality of your recordings today. This bundle also includes reflection filter, interface and cable.

The Aston Microphones Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone is one of the most remarkable cardioid condenser microphones available on the market. At the heart of the microphone is the hand-selected capsule, combined with the professional-grade transformer-less circuitry to achieve stellar audio fidelity. The Origin Microphone boasts Aston’s signature wave-form mesh head. This exclusive design provides unparalleled protection for the mic’s capsule. The mesh head boasts a shock resistant wave-form design. It works by allowing the head of the microphone to distort, when hit hard, then instantly returning to its normal position
One of the most unique and convenient features of the Aston Origin is the integrated pop filter. The mesh-knit pop filter is built into the wave-form head, helping to boost audio performance. It works by combating wind noise that you may incur from vocal recordings. This results in eliminating sibilance and plosive sounds at the source. It also helps to shield against electromagnetic radiation, so you can use it in an electronic-heavy environment without worrying about crosstalk or sound colouration. The single-piece, mesh cage is constructed in stainless steel. This helps to keep rust at bay and it can even be removed and washed for added convenience.
The wide frequency range and premium-grade components ensure the Aston Origin picks up every nuance from your source material in immense detail. The tone it delivers is reminiscent of vintage-style condenser microphones, retaining the warmth and richness from your source material. The cardioid capsule and high SPL make the Origin one of the most well-rounded microphones available. The high SPL means it can handle recording high-level instruments, but it is primarily suited to vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. It features an integrated -10dB and low-cut filter for helping to cater to different recording situations.
With a 24-bit/192 kHz sample rate the UR22 Mk2 provides incredibly high audio quality whilst the innovative latency free hardware monitoring means you can monitor your performance in real time without any latency.
