Eventually there will only be Behringer!

Award-winning UK microphone manufacturer Aston Microphones has been acquired by Uli Behringer’s Music Tribe, the parent company of Behringer, TC Electronics, Midas, Tannoy and more.

Aston Mics, launched in 2016, will continue creating its products under the Music Tribe group. The team will operate from its Hertfordshire headquarters, working to uphold the reputation it has built for unique marketing approaches and product development, and maintain its relationships with customers and artists. The brand will now have access to Music Tribe’s resources, infrastructure and employees to “herald a new era in the global microphone marketplace”, the announcement reads.

I have their 'Stealth' mike, it won a lot of awards (Namm TEC winner, SOS Gear of the Year etc) and is a great bit of kit

Looks like good news and Aston have certainly been doing well.

Huh. Not sure whether that is good. I don’t own any Aston mics, but found them quite interesting. They didn’t clone any existing stuff but had their own original and inventive designs. That might change in the future with Behringer owning them...

They are great Mikes (as you can see from the feedback/awards) and were already very competitively priced.....Uli is building quite the empire!
