The Aston Halo/ Halo Shadow microphone screen is designed to
address the shortcomings of other ‘reection lter’ style products
combining low weight with minimal audio colouration.
Designed, engineered and tested in the UK, the Halo combines
modern advances in material technology and production, cutting
edge patented manufacturing processes and rigorous acoustic
testing to bring you the ultimate in portable acoustic devices.
Using patented PET Felt and beautifully engineered hardware
components, your Aston Halo has been created to the most
exacting standards. PET felt is one of the most lightweight and
ecient, technical acoustic products available on the global
market today. An additional side benet is that PET acoustic felt
is made from 70% recycled PET plastic bottle material and so is
also very environmentally friendly.
The Halo is actually made from two PET felt shells, with 100mm
of PET acoustic foam sandwiched internally. These rigid shells
provide the structure as well as the absorbing surface, removing
the need for any internal support, making Halo incredibly light
and strong. Halo’s hardware allows easy, fast and stable mounting.
Every Aston Halo is individually tested during manufacture to
ensure reliable and consistent performance and the most
musical sound capture possible.
The Halo oers radically improved performance while maintaining
the green credentials of our manufacturing process (as with
our mic packaging which is 100% recyclable and 84% recycled
material). It also contributes both sonically and visually to the
creative environment, helping the artist to get the best from
every take. In our opinion, the Halo oers the very best possible
solution for portable room acoustics available today.
