The new Aston Element is a side-fire single pattern cardioid microphone, utilising an all-new 'Ridyon'™ capsule technology for superior performance at low cost. Like all Aston mics, Element incorporates a huge amount of innovation. Everything from the capsule technology, the chassis design, the magnetic pop filter, and even the backlit phantom power indicator go well beyond the limits of products normally sold at this price point.

Not only is Element extremely affordable, but it will consistently outperform all mics in its class. This can be said with confidence because over 4000 customers from all across the world have helped Aston to define the sound of Element in peer-reviewed blind listening tests against the biggest brands in the business. Over a 3-month public testing period, the sound of the mic was developed using data collected from these comparison tests, which included major brand competitors such as Blue, Rode, AKG, Audio Technica, and Neumann.

Ridyon™ capsule technology
The mic itself boasts brand new 'Ridyon'™ capsule technology, combining the best elements of all 3 existing classes of microphone. Utilising 48 V phantom power, the mic's incredibly lightweight Active-moving-coil-diaphragm delivers high end condenser mic sensitivity and performance, with the punchy bass and rejection capability of a great dynamic mic and the open, natural, sound of a ribbon.

Ships complete with a custom shock mount and pop shield.

Features
• The sound you voted for - mic voicing developed by multi-stage public vote
• Proprietary capsule design - another first from Aston microphones
• Glowing backlit purple badge - Switch on phantom power and see the awesome, deep purple glow
• Eco friendly packaging - No unnecessary frills, just well designed, re-usable and recyclable

I am a Shure user, owing many. This mic does generate proximity excessive bass in speech, but it's better to roll off then having to boost. With that in mind and if you actually know what you're doing (some don't), this mic kills the Shure SMB7. At less than half the price of the 7, it's hard to pass up! One review here implies the mic is garbage. Not true. Sounds like that user has phase issues and if is quite telling in the credibility of that review. Well done Aston, well done.

I love Aston microphones, but not this one. It sounds like someone wrapped a SM7b in a dozen old blankets and then placed the microphone 3ft away from the talent. Seriously the sound from this microphone is muffled access its entire frequently range.

I absolutely love this mic. It has the exact sound I need, was easy to power, and is almost no hassle at all. 2 small complaints though: no mute button in the mic is quite unfortunate. As well as the shock mount isn't as good as a regular non-full plastic one you may find. Other than that it's amazing. Would 100% reccomend

Better than anticipated and the reviews I read before auditioning this mic had my expectations set high! Though the shock mount system and pop filter are very unconventional designs, both perform well and are more resiliently constructed than my first visual impressions implied! Articulate, well defined tracking on either my voice or a high quality acoustic guitar. Note: All my errors and vocal quirks were well exposed! ...Back to better warmups and more rehearsal time! YES! I bought it!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
