Aston Microphones
Aston Microphones is a microphone manufacturer based in Hitchin, United Kingdom. Its products are distributed by UK-based Sonic Distribution (Waves, Munro Sonic, Rupert Neve).
The company was founded by several former sE Electronics managers and co-founders. All involved, according to co-founder James Young, wanted to “create a genuinely UK-made global mic brand which would stand apart from the glut of Chinese OEM brands in its innovation, technical and engineering excellence, and sonic performance”.
Aston microphones are manufactured in the UK, save the capsule, which is of Chinese origin.
Somewhat unique to the industy, Aston’s mic designs are subject to blind testing by a panel of several dozen UK audio professionals.
