Aston Microphones Spirit Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Description

I bought the Aston Spirit mic from Sweetwater brand new.  I just never got a chance to use it since I got a lot of other mics available.  The Aston Spirit mic has been sitting on my desk the whole time unused.  No original box included, just the mic and I will include a mic desk stand.
Aston Microphones Spirit at a Glance:
Wave-form mesh head with built-in pop filter
Unique chassis and end cap design
Wave-form mesh head with built-in pop filter
The Spirit features Aston's signature wave-form mesh head which not only looks cool, but provides rugged protection for the mic's internals. If subjected to a forceful ding, the shock-resistant wave-form grille allows the head of the mic to distort, then return to its normal position without damage. It also offers a measure of off-axis rejection, helping to diminish unwanted ambient sound. Built into the wave-form head is a mesh-knit pop filter that eliminates plosives in vocal performances. This single-piece mesh cage is made of stainless steel, so it's rustproof; you can even remove and wash it!
Unique chassis and end cap design
Did we mention how striking this mic looks? To achieve its hard-wearing, eye-catching finish, your Spirit's chassis has been tumbled individually for up to four hours, with the engraving applied afterward. A custom-molded end cap with integrated XLR and built-in, interchangeable mic stand thread adapter is another unique aspect of the design. In light of the mic's superior onboard shock absorption, you can mount it directly to a mic stand - which also makes it easy to repair and maintain.
