A Stereo Suspension Kit for your Starlights

Congratulations — you own Aston Microphones’ groundbreaking Starlight mic! However, having a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics gives you access to a myriad of incredibly cool stereo miking techniques. And two Starlights are much more effective if you have a stereo mounting system for them. Which leads us to Aston Microphones’ Starlight Suspension Set. It’s a stereo mounting bar fitted with two Rycote shock mounts (done up in Aston’s signature purple). We can’t overstate the usefulness of this rig. With it, you can execute stereo techniques such as XY and ORTF with the precision necessary for consistently repeatable, great-sounding results. And the Aston Microphones Starlight Suspension Set also helps to eliminate vibration-borne noise that can ruin a perfect performance.
