Our take on the Aston Microphones Stealth
The Aston Microphones Stealth is a cardioid XLR mic with a built-in preamp, suited to a streamer whose interface has low gain.
The tracked price is $139, flat across three points from August 26 to October 1, 2026, so there is no sale pattern to wait for. The listing gives four voice settings, each on its own signal path. It has active and passive modes, and it senses 48V phantom power to switch on a Class-A preamp with 50 dB of gain lift. That helps with quiet interfaces. It is a studio and stage mic, so a boom arm and interface are separate. Rated 4.4 across 78 retailer ratings.
- Built-in preamp adds 50 dB of gain on 48V
- Four voice settings in one mic
- Cardioid pattern for off-axis rejection
- Active mode needs 48V phantom power
- XLR only, so it needs an interface or mixer

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
