Mic manufacturers design ‘portable vocal booth’
SE Electronics have branched out into acoustic treatment with the new Reflexion Filter, a portable screen designed to reduce the amount of room ambience picked up by the mic.
The screen is positioned directly behind the microphone so it can absorb and diffuse the sound from the vocalist (or instrumentalist) before it can reach the surrounding walls and surfaces and be reflected back into the mic.
The Reflexion Filter is constructed from multiple layers of punched aluminium, wool, aluminium foil and aluminium foam and can be mounted on a normal mic stand.
The Reflexion Filter is set to be officially launched at Sounds Expo on March the 9th. Early reports suggest that the device works very well and, at £229, it costs a good deal less than acoustically treating a whole room!
