Aston Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone & Aston Spirit Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
Introducing the first truly British condenser microphone and accessory brand; Aston Microphones available from Kazbar Systems.
Aston’s first two products are the Aston Origin and the Aston Spirit. These stunningly beautiful, high-performance condenser microphones, have been entirely conceived, designed and manufactured in the UK.
The Aston team has been determined to prove a big point, that not only can a British team design some of the best products in the industry, they can build them in the UK too. With spiralling costs in China, and quality consistency issues, the dream for many of re-localising quality manufacturing has now become a reality.
Led by James Young, Philip Smith, Alan Gavin and Jack Munro, the Aston team have re-invented mic design, taking breathtakingly gorgeous concept pieces, and cutting edge engineering techniques, and producing beautifully crafted works of art.
The microphones have been developed working with a listening team of the top producers and mix-engineers in the business, with blind AB tests and focus groups at every stage of R&D meaning that the sound of each of the new microphones has been honed to perfection, not just by the design team, but by the professional users themselves.
Aston Origin Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Aston Origin is a high-performance cardioid condenser microphone utilising a one inch (1”) gold evaporated capsule. It is versatile enough to use with most instruments and excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is teamed with high-end transformer-less circuitry using only the best components such as WIMA capacitors, the same devices you’ll find in boutique microphones costing far more than the Origin.
The Origin is designed to deliver direct, smooth and intimate sound…for a natural and transparent recording.

Aston Spirit Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
The Aston Spirit is a high-performance, switchable pattern, microphone utilising a 1” gold evaporated capsule. A switch on the mic body selects from Omni, Cardioid or Figure-of-Eight polar patterns. It is versatile enough to use with most instruments and excels on acoustic guitar and vocals. Its hand-selected capsule is teamed with high-end transformer balanced circuitry using only the best components such as WIMA capacitors, the same devices you’ll find in boutique microphones costing far more than the Spirit.
The Spirit is designed to deliver a beautifully open sound with sparkling harmonics. This highly accurate microphone gives a stunningly natural and transparent recording, capturing all the detail in the high range but without adding the harshness that some condenser microphones seem to.
