8 best reflection filters

Product description

The Marantz Professional Sound Shield is a portable, compact device that shields a microphone from the detrimental effects of both indoor near-field acoustic reflections and excessive outdoor ambient noise.

Sound Shield is aptly named-it literally “shields” the recording microphone from those distracting acoustic artifacts, creating a cleaner, more focused, more intelligible recording. It has five absorptive walls (three stationary, two foldable) consisting of sculpted sound-absorptive surfaces, backed by high-density EVA foam for additional sound attenuation. These walls can be custom-shaped around the microphone to create a focused, precise recording in any environment.

For maximum versatility, it can be either mounted on a tabletop or stand-mounted using its built-in threaded insert.

 

 Frequently Asked Questions

 

How can the Sound Shield help my recordings?

In a room that has not been acoustically treated, there can be an overwhelming amount of echoes and unwanted sound artifacts, such as early reflections that take place.  

The sound waves coming from a singer's voice, or any other source of audio, will bounce off all of the walls, flooring, and ceiling, before finally reaching the microphone.  The sound of these early reflections can ruin even the best performances.  Fortunately, the effects of early reflections, along with standing waves, be minimized by putting absorption and diffusion panels all around the room and ceiling.  You may have seen pictures where there is foam lining the walls of professional studios; this room treatment can be expensive, and requires extensive knowledge of how sound waves interact with the room, and affect your recordings.  

That's where the Sound Shield comes in.  

The Sound Shield has two key elements, the diffusion shell, and the foam absorption that lines it.  The plastic shell that makes up the frame of the Sound Shield is covered in small holes, which help re direct unwanted audio, such as early reflections, from reaching the microphone.  On the other side, you'll see the foam absorption.  This foam absorbs the source's audio waves that are being recorded after they reach the microphone, to help avoid standing waves and more early reflections.

Product description

The TLM 49 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone from Neumann is a large-diaphragm studio microphone with a cardioid directional characteristic and a warm sound, optimized for vocal performance. It is supplied as a set, with an elastic suspension. The design is inspired by the Neumann M 49 and M 50 microphones of the 1950s. The "sound design" is also oriented toward that of the M 49 and the U 47. This microphone ensures low self-noise and the use of high gain levels.The large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM 49 provides a cardioid directional characteristic with a tendency toward supercardioid, due to the capsule construction. Following the example of the M 49, high frequencies are more directional. The capsule diameter is 34mm. The capsule is oriented so that the microphone is addressed from the front.

User questions & answers

Question:	would this work with a blue yeti microphone
Answer:	I think it should fit. My desk inch thick and it looks like I could go another 1.5 inches if I wanted too.
Question:	Just so I'm completely sure, this doesn't come with the stand in the photo
Answer:	On the end of the main bolt/screw is a smaller screw. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the smaller screw, thread the large bolt through the bracket, attach the end and small screw. One note: Threading the bolt through the bracket can take a bit of force. Just make sure it's aligned properly and it should thread just fine.
Question:	Does it come with 2 or just one
Answer:	most people think outlets should be the wrong way, looking like a face, with the ground on the bottom. instead, outlets are supposed to have the ground on top, so if a conductive object falls into the gap between the plug and the outlet, it won't touch both the positive and negative prongs together. instead, it will harmlessly rest on the ground.
Question:	I have my large condenser microphone, with a shock mount, on a boom that's extended out about 80%. Will this reflection filter work with a boom
Answer:	6FT

Product description

The Warm Audio WA-47jr is a large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone designed to provide the tonal characteristics of classic solid-state U47 microphones for vocalists, musicians, and recording engineers in home, project, and commercial recording studios. Thanks to three polar patterns-cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8 selectable from a switch on the front of the body, its versatility allows it to excel at anything from dry, close-up vocals to ambient room sounds. A -10 dB pad switch raises the maximum SPL from 147 dB to a high of 157 dB, enabling safe use when miking kick drums and cranked guitar and bass amps. Excessive low frequencies from proximity effect are easily reduced via the high-pass filter, which rolls off lows below 70 Hz.



The K47-style capsule reproduction features dual gold-sputtered, 6-micron Mylar diaphragms with a single backplate. The fully discrete signal path includes Toshiba FETs, WIMA film capacitors, and Panasonic electrolytic capacitors to deliver the clean tone associated with transformerless microphones.



This bundle comes with a RF-5P-B Reflection Filter from Auray is designed to improve the quality of voice recordings captured in your home studio, rehearsal studio or other untreated acoustic environment by absorbing and isolating the microphone from unwanted ambient reflections. Plus a RFMS-580 Reflection Filter Tripod Mic Stand from Auray features heavy duty steel construction and is capable of providing sturdy support to your reflection filter.
