Frequently Asked Questions - Swift ASTON

What microphones are compatible with the Aston Swift shock mount?

The Swift fits microphones with a diameter between 40mm and 60mm. The two quick-release spring clips adjust to securely hold a wide range of standard studio microphones.

How do I install the Aston Swift on a microphone stand?

Simply attach the Swift's base to your microphone stand via the included mounting hardware (usually a threaded screw). Then press your microphone into the spring clips until it snaps into place. No tools required.

Is the Aston Swift a passive or active device?

The Swift is a passive mechanical shock mount. It requires no power or batteries to function.

How does the Swift reduce handling noise?

The spring clips and suspension system isolate the microphone from the stand, absorbing vibrations and preventing them from reaching the mic capsule. This results in cleaner recordings with less rumble.

Can I use the Swift with an Aston microphone like the Origin or Spirit?

Yes, the Swift is fully compatible with Aston microphones such as the Origin, Spirit, and Stealth, as they all fall within the 40-60mm diameter range.

What is the build quality of the Swift?

The Swift is constructed from high-quality metal and durable plastic, featuring a sleek black finish. Its rugged design withstands regular studio and stage use.

Does the Swift come with a pop filter?

No, the Swift is a dedicated shock mount. However, it can be used with the Aston Shield pop filter or combined in the SwiftShield bundle for a complete setup.

How do I clean and maintain the Swift?

Wipe the mount with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. The spring clips may be gently cleaned with compressed air.

Are spare parts available for the Swift?

Yes, replacement spring clips and mounting hardware can be ordered from Aston or authorized dealers. The mount is designed for easy part replacement.

What is the warranty period for the Aston Swift?

BEST IN CLASS - BEFORE THEY'VE EVEN BEEN MADE...

The Aston 33 are a panel of top musicians and audio professionals who participate in blind listening tests, comparing various prototypes of each

proposed new Aston mic plus a couple of expensive ‘classics’ from other manufacturers.

At each stage the panel vote on which sounded best, and worst, for a range of sources (male and female vocals, guitars etc.) without knowing which they were listening to.

Gradually the Aston is tweaked in accordance with the voting until it is consistently, and pretty much unanimously, judged the best sounding mic of the bunch.

Only then does the project move into final testing and then manufacture.

The panel, still

referred to affectionately as the Aston 33 after the founders, has now grown to over 90 members who now help in the development process of each new Aston product.
