Aston Microphones Apex Glass – next-generation dynamic handheld microphone Aston Microphones delivers a modern take on the classic dynamic microphone, designed for demanding live vocalists and professional sound engineers. The Apex Glass combines innovative engineering with stage-ready functionality, offering exceptional flexibility in professional live environments. Product features The microphone is engineered to provide precise control over vocal tone. Its dynamic moving-coil capsule and cardioid polar pattern effectively isolate the voice from surrounding noise while reducing feedback. Two selectable voicing modes allow fast tonal adjustment to suit different musical styles and vocal characters, without the need for external EQ or processing. Modern technology for live vocals A key advantage of this design is the ability to operate in both passive and active modes. When 48 V phantom power is present, the built-in Class A preamplifier automatically engages, delivering up to 20 dB of clean gain. This ensures strong vocal presence in live mixes, even with quieter singers or long cable runs. The two analog voicing modes are derived from the award-winning Stealth model and provide distinct tonal characters without digital presets or modeling. This fully analog approach preserves natural sound, clarity and consistency that professionals expect. Applications The microphone is ideally suited for live concerts, rehearsals, club performances and high-volume stage environments. Its cardioid pickup pattern helps minimize feedback, making it a reliable choice for challenging acoustic conditions. It can also be used in studio settings for dynamic, focused vocal recordings.
