The Aston Stealth is a revolutionary broadcast quality microphone for studio and stage, with 4 switchable voices delivering unparalleled performance. The four voice settings, Vocal 1, Vocal 2, Guitar and Dark, offer an unprecedented variety of world class sounds to suit almost every application.

Stealth works in both passive and active modes. It is the world's first microphone with an auto-detect function which senses 48V phantom power and automatically switches the mic to active mode. This activates a built-in, high quality, Class A Mic Preamp which dispenses with the need for an external gain lifting device. Other unique features include a Sorbothane internal shock mount system and Aston's legendary near-indestructible build quality.

Stealth is four professional mics in one, with so many cutting edge features, and suitable for almost every conceivable application, that, we believe, Stealth is the world's most versatile microphone.


Aston Stealth features:

• Broadcast quality cardioid microphone for studio and stage
• 4 settings - 4 different voices - 4 discrete signal paths
• Works with and without 48V phantom power
• Autodetect function senses 48V and activates built in preamp
• Class A mic preamp built in - no external gain lifting device required
• Unique Sorbothane internal shock mount
• Excellent off axis (side) rejection
• Built-in purple LED phantom power indicator - switchable for stealth mode
• Aston's legendary build quality
• Sound developed by 92 top engineers, producers and artists on the Aston 33 panel
• Supplied with quick release stand mount

I tried this mic out in the store just with spoken word and a capella vocals. I loved the sound. I put is through its paces at home through my Bose S1 Pro. Live vocal sound fabulous. Next Thing to do is recording vocals with it. My only concern is the mic clip for it. I recommend this wholeheartedly. I am a fan of Aston now. I also own the Aston Origin.

The Aston Stealth is not 4-in-1 but is actually 5-in-1: Dynamic, then "Condenser Mode" V1 male, V2 female, G guitar, and D Dark mode. Thanks to the ability to rent from Long and McQuade, we used it within our microphone arsenal to record some episodes from seasons 3, 4, and 5, of our modern radio-play Venusville. www.patreon.com/venusville/ It was and is definitely neat and those various modes can come in handy, when we recorded with it, we kept it on Dark mode which is more accurately Vintage Mode given that the sound they are going for is attempting to mimic ribbon microphones, and it definitely sounded great on everyone. But we would suggest that it is definitely a good dynamic mic too, and the fact that when it essentially goes in to condenser mode but it still blocks out the sound around it of other items, is pretty awesome. Plus it works well with the Scarlett Focusrite 2i2, the Rodecaster Pro, and even the Shure M2U. All in all, this a great microphone, and would fit in to many situations. 👍👍 Stay safe and stay awesome. Gerry 🙃✌️🎤🎙️

I traded in my Sennheiser MK4 for the Stealth because I needed to tame my sibilance issues and I needed something not so sensitive. I was going for the Shure SMB7 but I needed the cloudlifter as well but the Stealth has it built-in. This is an amazing mic, I use it for my voice over and audiobook producing as well as for singing and it shines, it's brilliant. The rotary voice setting dial is a bit of a pain to turn and you definitely need a pop filter. I purchased the Shure SMB7 Big Foam Filter on amazon and it works great. I rented it for a month before buying and AB'd it on numerous sessions and I couldn't really find much of a big difference apart that the stealth is very kind to you if you have any sort of sibilance issue.

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: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 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.
