We are pleased to announce Aston Microphones will be launching three brand new products at this year’s NAMM show.
All three new products will soon be shipping from Audio Distribution Group. While the Aston Microphones Origin and Spirit models both feature excellent internal shock mounting and pop-filtering, for those cases where there is a lot of external vibration, extra close mic’ing etc. and when artists can be a little more, shall we say ‘animated’ (!) a dedicated shock mount and/or pop filter is a must, to make the best recordings possible. With the Aston Swift, Aston Shield and Aston SwiftShield, Aston has re-conceived the shock system and, as with all their products, worked from the ground up on entirely new design ideas along with the use of novel materials and Aston’s unique, architectural, approach to design.
Aston Shield
Premium Pop Filter and Gooseneck
The Aston Shield pop filter has been engineered to give you a perfect fit on any mic stand in seconds and has one of the best quality goose-necks you’ll ever see. No more limp or hanging pop shields, no more fiddly thumb screws – the Aston Shield has a big, sturdy, crocodile clip to mount quickly and easily onto mic stands of any shape or size, and has an exceptionally well-engineered goose-neck support with matte-black rubberised finish, which stays exactly where you put it. You’ll LOVE using this product! The pop filter itself features a unique, solid stainless steel shield, with precisely acid etched hexagonal filter holes, to give crystal clear vocals, with perfect acoustic performance for plosive (pop) control. It also presents a large surface area and curves around the mic, so vocalist movement is never an issue. Perfecting your vocal tracking, and giving a real touch of class to your mic set up, the Aston Shield is a must have accessory for every studio.
Main Features:
- Ultimate pop reduction
- Solid stainless steel pop shield with ‘Hextech’ filter holes
- Ultra-fast mounting system – Mounts to any stand
- Deluxe gooseneck
- Hygienic washable filter
- Large surface area
Available: Late February 2018
Aston Swift
Premium Universal Shock Mount
The Aston Swift shock mount takes microphone mounting to the next level of ease. With 2 quick release spring clips designed to fit a wide range of mics, from 30-55mm diameter, mounting your microphone takes seconds. No more rubber bands! We have re-conceived the shock system, and as with all our products worked from the ground up on an entirely new design idea. The ‘ShockStar’ suspension eliminates the need for fiddly rubber bands, but offers a high level of elasticity for maximum isolation. The Aston Swift combines Aluminium and high grade glass-fill nylon polymer with our unique medical grade latex ‘ShockStar’ suspension for ultimate support, reliability and shock absorption. As with all Aston products, the use of novel materials and our unique, architectural, approach to design is setting new standards for the industry. Super-fast mounting and release for your studio mic, novel use of materials and superb British design make this, we think, the very best shock mount you can buy. Main Features:
- Universal mic mount – fits mics 30 to 55 mm diameter
- Ultimate mechanical isolation with Aston’s ‘ShockStar’ technology
- Super hard-wearing Aluminium and glass-fill nylon construction
- Ultra-swift proprietary mounting system
Available: Late February 2018

Together with your mic, the Aston SwiftShield set will give you everything you need for vocal mic applications, and really make your set up stand out from the crowd. The pop shield is really easily to attach and remove from the shock mount, so no matter the application this is the one stop solution to give the perfect set up for pretty much any studio microphone.
