Aston Microphones Stealth Active Dynamic Microphone

A revolutionary broadcast quality microphone for studio and stage, the Aston Stealth was developed in partnership with more than 90 top engineers, producers and artists to create the best possible sound. The resulting four switchable voices (Vocal 1, Vocal 2, Guitar and Dark) deliver unparalleled performance and a variety of world class sounds to suit almost any situation.

This cardioid, end-fire mic is the world's first to feature an autodetect function which senses 48 V phantom power and automatically switches the mic to active mode. Phantom power mode is indicated by purple LED floodlights. These can be switched off when the mic is to be heard but not seen, for example in broadcast and video environments. A built-in, high quality, Class A mic preamp dispenses with the need for an external gain lifting device in active mode. The mic also offers a unique Sorbothane internal shock mount system and Aston's legendary build quality.

With all of these cutting edge features and more, the astoundingly versatile Stealth is truly suitable for virtually any conceivable application.
