Every good music producer knows that one of the most important pieces of equipment in their studio is the microphone. Without a proper mic (more important to match the mic to the vocalist than to have an “expensive mic”), it is impossible to create high quality vocal recordings. According to MusicTech, the best microphone that emerged in 2017 was that of the Aston Starlight, because of the fact that it provides three voice options, as well as offers a laser-targeting system unlike any other microphone currently on the market.
Key Takeaways:
- MusicTech.net’s Gear of the Year, 2017 winner in the microphone category, is the Starlight, made by Aston.
- This small-diaphragm condenser microphone has three distinct, very useful voicings, which specifically are modern, vintage, and hybrid.
- The mic incorporates a laser targeting system, which allows the engineer to ensure both mics are aimed at the precisely required spot, when used in a pairing situation.
“Aston has made some incredible microphones in a relatively short period of time and last year, it’s fair to say it probably would have won Microphone Of The Year had it not had two entries and split the voting public.”
