Aston Microphones Apex Storm Dual Voicing Active Dynamic Microphone

Description

Aston Microphones Apex Storm Dual Voicing Active Dynamic Microphone

Aston Apex Storm is the moody, matt grey version of the new Apex active/dynamic handheld microphone. Apex rises above the current crop of dynamic clones, by offering the power and flexibility our live performer and engineer community have been asking for. Firstly, there’s a choice of two voices, derived from the TEC Award-winning Aston Stealth. These are discrete signal paths, with no EQ presets or modelling in sight. You get a choice of two world-class vocal voicings without having to swap mics out. Secondly Apex operates in passive or active modes; a built-in Class A preamp engages automatically when 48v phantom power is present, providing 20dB of super-clean boost to ensure live vocals cut through the mix live, just as they do on the studio recordings. An aerodynamically tuned head further enhances on-axis focus..
