Aston Halo
Using your Aston Halo
Halo reduces unwanted room reflection including those from floors and ceilings, and also diffuses the sound, making for smooth, consistent recordings in pretty much any acoustic environment.
It is best used with a side-address mic (like an Origin, Spirit or Element) but can also be beneficial with front-address mics.
Halo is light enough to be used on any mic stand, just make sure everything is tightened sufficiently to stop unwanted movement or droop.
Experiment with the mic’s position; the further inside the Halo, the more isolation (but sometimes a little more of the room sound can be a good thing).

Why buy an Aston Halo?
However good your mic and interface are, poor room acoustics can spoil an otherwise great take - and let’s face it, not all of us work in properly treated studios. Halo turns pretty much any space into a natural sounding, professional recording environment. Unlike other reflection filters it features 360° coverage, dealing with floor and ceiling reflections, not just horizontal ones. It combines absorption with unique diffusion ribs, front and rear, to really keep things smooth.
Halo is used by countless top artists who know their vocal sound will be consistently on the money, wherever they are working.
Halo is extremely lightweight and quick‘n’easy to mount on any regular mic stand.
What else is cool?
Halo is available in Aston purple (Halo) or charcoal (Halo Shadow).
It’s made from patented, recycled PET felt so it’s also very eco-friendly.
