It is an advanced composite wall which is positioned behind any microphone by means of a variable position stand clamp assembly which ships with the product. The main function is to help obtain a ‘dry’ vocal or instrument recording. This is especially useful in studios without proper acoustic treatment, but can also be used to help record takes in control rooms, where the performer also has to operate the recording device, or in rehearsal studios to reduce ambient noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Technical Bit:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Reflexion Filter has 6 main layers. Firstly, a strong layer of punched Aluminium which allows sound waves to pass through it, diffused, to a layer of absorptive wool. The sound waves then hit a layer of Aluminium foil which helps dissipate energy and break up the lower frequency wave-forms, and from here they hit an air space kept open by rods passing through the various layers. The air gap acts as an acoustic barrier. The sound waves then pass to a further layer of wool and then through an outer, punched, Aluminium wall which further serve to absorb then diffuse the remaining acoustic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main absorber has 4 formed pieces of state-of-the-art specialist acoustic absorptive material attached to its face via the extended separation rods, which further serve to absorb and then diffuse the sound waves as they pass to the main filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stand assembly comprises a mic stand clamp fitting, which attaches by means of a vertical joint to the horizontal bar assembly onto which both the Reflexion Filter, and any standard fitting shock mount can be fixed. The microphone (in its shock mount) can then be moved both vertically and horizontally along the bar, and the Reflexion Filter itself can be moved vertically to obtain the optimum working position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe various layers both absorb and diffuse the sound waves hitting them, so progressively less of the original source acoustic energy passes through each layer. This reduces the amount of energy hitting un-treated walls and other surfaces so there is less of the original source reflected back as unwanted room ambience to the mic. The Reflexion Filter also helps prevent any reflected sound reaching the back and sides of the mic. Its shape and size have been carefully tested to maximize absorption while keeping ‘coloration’ down to only around 1dB, and leaving the microphone’s polar pattern unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn Summary:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll in all, it’s a very clever and desirable piece of kit. It allows you to record vocals, guitars etc with a ‘drier’ sound without having to have an acoustically treated room. It’s portable. It uses state of the art materials. It works… and it’s a fraction of the price of acoustically treating your studio environment!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SE Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332135375132,"sku":"reflexionfilter","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1983\/4140\/files\/reflexion1.jpg?v=1784603195"},{"product_id":"seelectronicsreflexionfilterxportablevocalbooth","title":"sE Electronics RF-X - Reflexion Filter X Portable Vocal Booth","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnwanted audio ambience may be generated if working in ‘untreated’ acoustic environments when recording and this naturally affects the quality of any signal captured via microphone. Six years ago sE Electronics were the first company to develop a solution to this commonplace problem and launched the highly successful Reflexion Filter RF-Pro. We are proud to announce that recently sE Electronics were awarded a US patent for the design standard and this applies to ALL sE Electronics Reflexion Filter products - including the brand new RF-X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatent No. US 8,191,678 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"FreeForm\"\u003eWith RF-X \u003cspan\u003eanyone\u003c\/span\u003e can capture great-sounding vocal recordings \u003cspan\u003eanywhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"FreeForm\"\u003eAvailable today the sE Electronics RF-X is the latest high- performance acoustic filter joining sE’s highly-acclaimed line of successful and industry standard Reflexion Filter products. Using the same US patented design technology as the RF-Pro the new RF-X has been concieved to answer the needs of the discerning recording artist working on a budget. With a new lightweight body and re-designed lightweight clamp assembly the RF-X is simplicity itself, providing unbeatable performance and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"FreeForm\"\u003eNew materials have been developed to make it lighter than its predecessors but also to maintain it’s durability - helping to position RF-X as a versatile product suited for any challenging working environment. It features a four layer acoustic filter design comprising the outer composite panel itself, a wool fabric layer, an air gap layer and an inner acoustic foam layer. This multi-layer design with air gaps differentiates the RF-X from its competitors by helping to ensure that recordings exhibit almost zero sound coloration when using the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"FreeForm\"\u003eThe RF-X clamp assembly also utilizes a new lightweight design allowing it to be used on almost any microphone stand. It has been simplified to achieve this and allows vertical mounting only - making it the perfect solution for vocal recording. (We recommend the IRF2 for angled instrument miking, or the RF-Pro for specialized vocal mic positioning).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SE Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332150645020,"sku":"rfx","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1983\/4140\/files\/se-electronics-se-rf-x-486044.jpg?v=1784603370"}],"url":"https:\/\/jrrshop-3235.myshopify.com\/collections\/recording-absorption.oembed","provider":"jrrshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
