From Our Research Team:

Isolate Your Mic with MudGuard

Is muddy sound ruining your mixes? You need MudGuard. The Auralex MudGuard is a microphone isolation shield that reduces or eliminates external noise bleed and filters out external overtones. MudGuard is engineered for maximum effectiveness using Studiofoam to reduce excessive room ambience and off-axis sound. Simple to use, MudGuard mounts directly to most mic stands and clips. Use it to isolate, for instance, a vocalist in the same room with the rest of the band - or a vibraphone player positioned near the drummer. You get the idea.

Cleaner mic signals, free of unwelcome bleed, are easier to work with and give you cleaner-sounding mixes. MudGuard is one of those affordable studio tools that belong in every studio's mic locker. If you don't have an iso booth (or two), check out MudGuard - it's the next best thing.

Auralex MudGuard Mic Isolation Shield Features at a Glance:

When I first saw the MudGuard and realized I needed one, I saw the price and thought, "Man, I could build one way cheaper". So I went to the home improvement store I work at and started gathering supp... read more [+]lies. Even with my employee discount it was only a few dollars cheaper! So I put everything back and called Matt Adams right from the store! I had the MudGuard in about 4 days! It works wonderfully with my Neuman mic! close [-]

One of my music teachers heard a vocal that I had recorded and said that I was standing too far from my mic. When I said that I was less than two inches away he said that my room was too big. I automa... read more [+]tically started looking at sound isolation to get the best vocals I could and went with the Auralex MudGuard. I now get the cleanest vocals I have ever gotten and the best vocals I think I could get for this price. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about recording music but has a tight budget!!!!! close [-]

MudGuard Is Sweet!

by Bob from Rochester Hills, MI, USA

Music Background: Voice-over talent and
I got this MudGuard after several recommendations from audio engineers who I worked with. I am a voice-over artist with a modest home studio and I needed some sound treatment to improve the audio audi... read more [+]tions I was recording and sending to clients. MudGuard nailed it. My recording booth area is quite small, and the MudGuard fits in nicely. A suggestion: I put it on a standard mic boom stand, upside down, and then ordered the Adjustable Boom Strap (ABS) from Voice-Over Essentials.com to prevent any tipping. Very satisfied with the results! close [-]
