Sound On Sound - Starlight Review
British company Aston have impressed us with their large-diaphragm mics, and now they’re tempting us with a laser-guided SDC!
Paul White has put the Aston Starlight through its paces on acoustic guitars, drums, and even vocals, concluding “the Starlight is a versatile and well-voiced microphone at a lower than expected price that I’m sure will see a lot of action in both professional and home studios.”
We agree!
“It works admirably on acoustic guitar, it doubles up as a vocal mic if you need it to and on drums it packs a weighty punch as well as retaining the transient detail. ”
“…the sound came back as very polished and well-balanced”
“smooth yet well focused…depth, warmth and detail in equal measure.”
“…the Starlight is a versatile and well-voiced microphone at a lower than expected price that I’m sure will see a lot of action in both professional and home studios.”
“…all three voicings produced very musical results, balancing the detail of the string harmonics with the depth of the body sound”
