Starlight

Le Starlight dispose d'une capsule cardioïde de 20 mm sélectionnée par un panel de plus de 70 des meilleurs producteurs (Aston 33) dans des tests d'écoute en double aveugle menés en 2016. Le Starlight présente une foule d'innovations, y compris la visée laser, les sonorités multiples (Vintage, Modern et Hybrid), et la réponse hors axe quasi linéaire, qui ont permis au micro gagner un grand nombre de prix internationaux, et une nomination pour le NAMM TEC 2018, les « Oscars » de l'industrie de la technologie musicale.
