Aston Microphones Starlight Suspension Set

Aston, a UK - based brand, is well - known for its mics. These mics have smart designs, unique looks, and amazing sound quality, all at affordable prices. The Starlight mic is a game - changer, quickly becoming popular due to its outstanding performance and high - quality build. This set includes two Rycote shockmounts and a stereo mounting bar. It lets you mount a pair of Starlights to use stereo miking techniques like XY and ORTF accurately, always producing great - sounding and repeatable results.

Using this Aston Starlight Suspension Set is easy. First, take the two Rycote shockmounts and attach your Starlight microphones to them. Then, use the stereo mounting bar to secure the shockmounts together. This setup allows you to use different stereo miking techniques. For the XY technique, position the mics facing forward at a 90 - degree angle. For the ORTF technique, space the mics about 17 cm apart and angle them at 110 degrees. When using the set, make sure the shockmounts are firmly attached to avoid any unwanted vibrations. Also, keep the mics away from strong wind sources as it can cause noise. To maintain this set, clean the shockmounts and the mounting bar regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the components. Store the set in a dry and cool place when not in use to ensure its long - term performance.
