Aston Starlight Stereo Pair — Matched Laser-Targeted Condensers

The Starlight Stereo Pair brings two laser-targeted small-diaphragm condensers together as a matched set — for engineers who want repeatable stereo placement on drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, and ensemble recording. Each mic is matched through an intensive process covering capacitance, frequency response, and sensitivity.

Two Mics, One Laser System

Both Starlights carry the integrated class 2 laser targeting sight that defines the model — pointing each capsule precisely at a snare, hi-hat, or string section, and recovering identical positions session after session. Combined with the included stereo mounting bar, the pair allows XY, ORTF, and spaced configurations to be set up and recalled with millimetre accuracy.

Three Voice Modes, Per Microphone

Each Starlight carries the Vintage, Modern, and Hybrid voicings — three discrete analogue signal paths. Engineers can match both mics to one voicing for coherent stereo, or set them differently for mid-side and creative captures.

In the Studio

Drum overheads, acoustic guitar in stereo, piano, classical and chamber ensembles, room mics, and any stereo capture where session-to-session placement recall is part of the workflow. The pair that turns a tracking room into a measurably repeatable space.
