The first RF's that were launched had this bracket that would always cause the filter to sag to the left or right, which is super annoying, but sE solved that issue some years ago with a new bracket (same as RF Space). The Reflection Filter was invented by sE and the RF Pro and RF Space are superior to all the knock-offs out there. The filters are not aiming to replace a treated room, but to help you massively improve your recordings in untreated rooms, and that's just what they do! I can highly recommend them in combination with a solid mic stand obviously (you don't want to mount your valuable microphone + filter on a cheap mic stand and then complain when the stand tips over...)

~I am more than happy with my newly purchased filter. After mounting the filter and checking my 'noise floor' I saw (heard) a significant improvement. I highly recommend this for anyone wishing to reduce room noise. The PHENOMENAL SWEETWATER TEAM was extremely helpful in my inquiry and my overall impression was SUPERB! I especially wish to thank Mr. Skyler Giordano! Job well done!!! Ciao!~

Way to top heavy for a normal mic stand. Useless to me. In the process of returning.

The vocal shield is good here. It works as advertised to isolate vocals and prevent unwanted reflections. I use it when I want to record high quality vocals with a sensitive condenser mike (like my AKG 214).

The problem is the bracket. It is terrible. For one thing it is unbalanced when on a mic stand. It will tip left and a bit forward. Be very careful! Even a solid mic stand can flop over with this thing on it. Also the design is weak. Hard to tighten things and get stuff at the right angle.

They should do a redesign of the bracket.

Just too many moving parts. Everything wants to move while you're using it, which is the last thing you want while recording vocals.

I have a home-studio which used to be just a Rode NT-2A and a ton of software in an apartment with hard walls and floors - lots of reflective surfaces. Everything has been layered, one track at a time. This baffle allowed my wife who sings and myself on guitar, to record together, with pretty decent separation. First the dryness and difference in previous raw recordings in the reflective room is significant. Second, almost no bleed at all, of vocals on the guitar track. About 50% bleed of guitar on the vocal track, but I will improve that with a sound absorbent panel (I just purchased, but haven't had a chance to test). Will place panel in front of the Reflexion Pro, mounted on mic stand, between guitar and vocal. One small complaint, which Sweetwater has addressed: I believe the Rod (labeled D in the instructions) which the Reflexion Pro is mounted on is a very tight fit. To get my Rode NT-2A, which mounts with a cradle) at the right height with capsule centered in Reflexion Pro, I had to lower the Rod quite a bit. This took effort. Also, you should unscrew the baffle and take the mic off the front rod - which is a pain, when you are making minor height adjustments and want to get recording.

It slightly works as described. Build quality is fair, but far from great. Don't expect miracles with this thing.

My acoustic guitar sounds cleaner, not so much unwanted resonance, makes EQing easier. Vocals the same. Kind of a game changer. You can really get control of live recorded sounds in a not great room.

Don't bother with other knock-offs. You may save money, but you'll lose the unmatched sound quality you get with this one. Best hands down.

I've used several brands of this sort of mic filter rig, and nothing works like the sE Reflexion. I can bring this just about anywhere and get good, clean, very usable vocal audio. This is actually the second one I've purchased!

Excited to use it but can't attach it to a stand as the hardware came way too tight. Just went through all my tools to see if I could separate the smaller adapter for the top of the mic stand. I'm trying to remove the inner adapter that has a smaller thread but an hour and a half into it I'm giving up and going to have to find a replacement. Hoping it's smooth after that but if you're ordering this make sure to ask the sales folks if the parts can be separated.

I record in my bedroom, my home is not sound proof! The SE Vocal booth has turned my bedroom into a professional vocal booth!

If you have a reverberant room, this is a great way to tame it without putting used egg cartons all around. The quality of my acoustic guitar and vocal records has gone way up with this filter. Get one because you probably need it.

First time using a reflection filter and I was amazed by the way it sounded with my voice and there was no echo ! Great purchase and investment. I'm running an Apollo twin , with a warm audio WA-87R2 using a Avalon preamp it's amazing !

Set up is easy, sound quality is great on vox, really isolates. A little smaller than expected but I suppose that's a good thing for minimizing and still getting good sound.

well-built and easy to assemble, using a microphone in the studio before and after this I completely different. Very much suggested.

For me, being able to record and capture the best performances from yourself and others is all about the environment and overall physical vibes.

This particular Vocal Shield is the most expensive one I've owned thus far..

But it's also carried on the value through recreating the vibes you would like to have
as if you were recording in a pro-grade vocal booth or studio room.

The aesthetics is very sleek and gives that feeling like you're looking at a recording wall during sessions.

You can also tell the big difference in how it shapes the recordings
in comparison to smaller vocal shields or without one.

It's ok if you don't have a handy clothes closet available. I have one and have used it before but just thought this thing might be better. It's NOT.
I asked my Sweetwater engineer about how large a microphone you could mount with the SE and was assured it would handle my "Blue Microphones Kiwi." Well it did but very hard once you have tightened it down, with a wrench, to make any adjustments to the mics position.
It does a fair job of isolation but not really any better than my entryway closet in my house. Just open the closet door, have a lot of jackets, coats etc. and place the mic on a heavy stand backed into the closet facing out and works great.
By the way the heaviest microphone I used was one of my TLM 103s, don't believe I could use anything heavier.
Good luck.

The other reviews say it all. This is probably the single best investment I've made for my studio in the past 2 years.

Mechanically they missed the mark by not using typical mic threads.
It doesn't use the standard 5/8" thread or the 3/8 adapter if you want to attach
the panel directly to a stand and not use the clamp.

The clamp also does not accommodate the small shaft size of a two segmented extended mic stand.
You have to attach to a lower segment which is larger in diameter.

Its a great product and does its job. I just wish it was a little lighter. I always have to adjust it because of the weight it would tip over. Other than that it definitely reduces the room ambience and helps with the quality of your vocals.

The first thing I noticed about the sE filter was the appearance, it looks great and has quality material in the fabrication. The hardware clamping system is build well, however the upright bar the holds the actual filter tends to have a little play in the hole, it goes into, causing it to lean a little forward. The thumb screw clamp that holes the rod is not able to maintain its position as well as It should. (It does not slide up and down but it does not hold a 90 degree position. It"s not a deal breaker because over all it"s a great product.

This portable sound booth is a great idea, but mine is noth heavy And bulky.
But it does the job!

Money well spent, It's not worth cutting any corners and get mediocre results. If your going to invest in something like this, you would only be disappointed with less then perfect results that would be caused by penny pinching. This product is 5 stars for a reason..........It WORKS!!! Totally AMAZED at how AWESOME it works!! Again don't cut yourself short. Spend the money and get a good one!!

The reflection filter was a high quality product, shipping was fast. Easy assembly and honestly looks great!

I took this to my producer and he LOVES it! Great vocal booth for the money!

I was working on my 3rd album, it was time sensitive, the room we was recording in was full of echo, high ceilings, was a complete mess, We was recording with a Neumann 102, and Avalon, and Imac. We never thought to think that not having a treated room would make a huge difference, IT DID, we were falling apart, arguing, it sounded terrible. My friend said he had a Se Electronic RF pro for the mic, make a long story short, it fixed everything, the mood, the vocals, everything was on point, my friend let me keep it after the session, I still own it, the difference in the the vocals was a game changer! Was the best solution to a terrible problem!

The sE Reflexion Filter is a life saver! It completely smooths every reflection in the room and keeps the voice warm.
I also use it for recording guitars (both acustic and electric) and it works great.
I only took half star from my analysys because I think the rack mount mechanism can use a little improvement, but besides that it’s awesome and I don’t know how to work without it nowadays!
A must have for sure!

As my vocal booth has a window the refextion filter pro is a must have as it eliminates the audio bouncing back to the mic. It works very well, is very sturdy and of great quality.

I give this product @ 5 star rating on quality, design, soundqualty, in recording vocals for me oy eliminated the need to acoustics treat my lab I am very happy with the production sound quality of this product it's well built and does what it's supposed to bigger than its newer model and weighs more
negative side
u must have a good sturdy mix stand to set this on to prevent leaning and undesired position I structions on building are crap as well but I do recommend this product on 5 stars if u are considering a filter n you're lab production

The sound difference is wonderful, but the design of these has changed since all the videos and early reviews have been made. The version I received has a different, more complicated clamp without the rubber scratch guards, and it attaches to the stand from the side, rather than the front. Also, the rod that the mic shock mount is attached to is a different design: more like the slotted one on the cheaper model. Those are minor, I guess; but there is one really flimsy Achilles heel: the tightening screw that is supposed to hold the filter in place once inserted into the clamp mechanism, will never tighten enough to hold the filter rigidly. It rocks back and forth and sags to the front even when tightened all the way, and there's nothing to do about it. It's just not a good fit, or a good design. So I'd recommend the product, but be prepared to deal with clunky hardware in exchange for great sound.

I really enjoyed having this as part of my set up, definitely shines if coupled with a semi-treated room. I used it mostly on vocals and really heard an improvement vs using it without it. The weight of the entire piece can topple over your mic stand, but I think they might have fixed that with the new hardware, but any tripod stand should do just fine. Doesn't affect your sound too much, so it keeps it nice and natural. Thumbs all the way up!

This thing works awesome!! Its literally like you are recording vocals in a vocal booth. Having a basement studio, I don't have room for a booth, so this was the best option for me. Whenever I want to record vocals I pop this guy on a stand and go to work. Works like a charm.

I sing and do voice-over work as well as produce. The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter PRO has become an essential tool in my arsenal.

Yes, there are software tools that can go a long way toward cleaning up a less than perfect track and correcting anomalies... How much better to record a clean vocal so that there is less to 'correct'?

Buy one of these and find out.

The SE Electronics Reflexion Filter Pro is a must have for any VO recording or Vocal recording sessions.

I've used it on countless occasions, either in professional vocal boothes / live rooms / or in less than ideal rooms for example recording at home etc.

It's great if you really want to get that intimate close sound and eliminate as much of the room reflections as possible. The Reflexion Filter positioned behind the mic reduces the voice sound source from entering the room, and rejects any incoming reflections from the room into the mic. With the actual body / head of the person the other side of the mic having the same affect that side, you're effectively isolating the mic in the ideal location to get optimum performance.

The other advantage is it expands your choice of mic. Especially when using a highly detailed and sensitive large diaphragm condenser mic, the Reflexion Filter allows the mic to focus in on those details of the actual sound source, increasing your acoustical signal to noise ratio and allowing you to use such a mic where you may not have been able to without.

You can also use it recording anything instrumental to increase isolation if you're recording more than one thing in a room at once. For example, if you're tracking guitars and drums in the same room maybe you could use the Reflexion Filter on the cab mic to reduce cymbal spill... the possibilities are endless. The SE Electronics Reflexion Filter Pro is just a great tool to have to hand, with a high build quality to last the test of time.

Its awesome, the quality of my music is crisp now. My entire home studio is from sweetwater! love it!

The Reflexion filter definitely works, and allows sensitive condenser mics to be used in non-optimal rooms, but it needs help. It will sound so much better if you hang a couple of thick duvets behind the singer as well. Do that, and you've got a very good portable vocal booth. Make sure you have a mic stand with a heavy base as a counterweight. I even used a couple of small 25 pound video industry sandbags that I have for temporarily placing video lights draped over the base of the mic stand for extra protection.

The sE reflection filter works well enough. It doesn't make a world of difference but it makes enough of a difference to buy it. Most people probably wont be able to tell the difference unless your room is terrible. Also the stand at least when I bought it was awful and I ended up using 2 mic stands instead.

I’m a voice over actor. I moved to a new place where the acoustic foam I was using previously wasn’t an option. I looked at the available choices for $5-148k specialty booths that required special handling, installation, etc., yuk. Then I stumbled across an ad for the Reflexion Filter. I read the reviews and took the plunge. The booth was easy to assemble and is simple to adjust both vertically and horizontally. I use it in a carpeted 8x10 room that has no acoustic treatments. The first thing I saw was that the ambient noise level in the room decreased dramatically...impressive! It has really helped me to complete more auditions with better quality in less time, as I no longer have the burden of cycling through multiple processing and scripts to produce acceptable sound quality. I like it!

Works great in my home studio.

I love this product, it does what it states it does and more. It makes the quality of anything going into a mic go from a 6 to a 10 in seconds. Yes, it is that huge of a difference. However, the only thing i dislike is the weight of the Reflection Filter. You need a good stand with a counterweight to support (if you plan on using a big tube condenser mic as well). I don't like that the mount looks like a piece of machinery, the looks could be improved vastly. Overall a great product for a quick room treatment.

This device really does what it says. Blocks out external sound and instantly improves vocal recording. It is a reasonable price for what it does. A little bit tricky to set up and the installation instructions are not great. But once you figure it out you will be loving it.

Makes as big a difference as the reviews said. Using in a small home studio.

No more egg-crate foam or hanging blankets! This portable booth makes it sound pristine. Glad I got the Pro version. And did I mention it's portable? Worth the investment.

It's real simple, folks...this thing is nearly as good as a custom, full-size vocal booth costing thousands of dollars. Don't even waste your money on any lesser brand. Buy it, and call your vocal booth FINISHED! WOO-HOO!

I haven't used it for long, but I'm already blown away by this "Reflexion Filter Pro." I'd bet that the first thing everyone does after setting it up is to move up and sing a few notes into it. The moment you do, you hear what it does. It sounds like you're in an isolation booth with no acoustical problems. This is what your mic hears, too. All that ringing and flanging that goes on around you in an untreated room becomes irrelevant. This brings the booth to you wherever you are.

Don't hesitate because of the cost. This is about $50,000 worth of treatment in a little box.

It's a little heavier than I expected, but that's ok. I have a very heavy-duty stand with weighted base, locking urethane wheels, and counterweighted wide-reaching boom. You don't need that much stand, but you do need more than the average, cheap little stands offer. Be sure you have enough stand to hold this. Ask a sales rep for advice if you're not sure. That's very important; you don't want the whole affair tipping over or inverting and slapping your recording artist if accidentally bumped. But if you have the stand to hold it, you'll absolutely LOVE this.

I was told that the new "SPACE" version of this is even better. I don't doubt that, but it's also very expensive. I don't think you'll find it necessary to spend the extra money. This one does its job. I've heard some top-notch recordings done with this.

Perhaps you're thinking that $250 for a reflection filter is a bit pricey? Maybe you're thinking that you could just (get away with one) for half the cost? At the end of the day, no other reflection filter (I've tried a bunch of them) hold a candle to this one. This truly IS a "vocal booth in a box" as another reviewer put it. Astonishing isolation while hearing ONLY what you're recording. Saving a few dollars on a lesser model will only cost you a great deal more in recording quality. I couldn't be happier with this product.

Really works well in my home studio. Only concern is for the method of attachment to the stand and the durability of the rubber pads that are at the pressure points of the clamp. Otherwise, it looks great and performs very well with my mic setup.

I have a fully pro studio, and also do on-site recording from time to time. Thus, I purchased the SE PRO (don't get the cheap ones - just like mics, pre's and a host of other recording gear, if you skimp you will not get pro results) for an on-site session. Like other buyers, I was skeptical about the performance relative to my real vocal booth, as the Reflexion is so small. But I guarantee it is a big performer. The on-site vocals came out extremely well - yes, as good as my vocal booth. Kills reflections and provides extremely tight vocals as well as percussion o-dubs (guidos, chimes, you name it, it works for everything).
After the mobile session, I now use the SE in my vocal booth and it even improves on the sound that I was already happy with. Just like you wouldn't record pro vocals without a pro mic and pre, once you record with this you won't want to do it any other way. Had a little trouble with the mounting hardware, but with a small metal file, I was able to repair the locking pins on the positioning mechanism (be careful with this - if you seat them improperly, and then tighten the swivel down, you can easily compress one of the pins (flatten it out) and then you have a problem). But that aside, the rest of the hardware is great and it looks fabulous in any environment. I use a Twin-Finity tube/FET mic pre and a Sterling ST69 tube condenser mic (not because it is less than a Neuman, but because I like it). With this combo and a good DAW you have everything you need to produce high quality recordings. Get one, you won't regret it. Many thanks to Clint Branstetter at Sweetwater for the excellent service and delivery. Time and again, Sweetwater saves the day.

First of all, this thing does an amazing job; 5 stars... but the construction is pretty cheap, one of the knob on mine broke off in 6 months and you need a VERY good quality microphone stand cause this thing is so heavy... I used a cymbal stand for a drum set cause its so heavy but this thing does a great job but for the money id rather have just bought some foam for my room and some bass traps with the cost of the stand

Cheap as in "Low Price" not "Low Quality"!

My voice over recording studio is in a little used room. No other acoustic treatment besides one of these baffles. Terrific sound rejection of ambient noise and it eliminates room echo. Could not be simpler: good quality microphone shielded with this and direct input to a digital recorder.

Think of this as a "recording studio in a box"!

It works just as I expected. It was very easy to set up also

My vocals are sooo much cleaner!

Last May, I wrote a positive review of this (scroll downward and attend)...

But in the year since, I have found another reason or two to acquire this.

The cheap punk thing, is that if you're careful with placement, you can use this to provide decent isolation for mics hung on guitar amps. This is something that will tax both your physical (because of the mounting system) and audio legerdemain... But once set up thus, it works great.

But here's my favorite discovery: using this, I can now open my mics up more toward an Omni polar pattern - assuming your room is treated. Doing so also opens up the to silty of the mic, n the most- wonderful way. Old mics that I had always constrained to cardioid or super/ hyper cardioid, now ave new and wonderful new roles!

My room has some serious offending frequency build up in the low end and in the area around 400 to 500 hrz.To help my vocal to sit in the mix better I had to do a whole lot of cutting and boosting of different frequencies only to end up with some barely okay vocals,You know what the they " it's better to get it as good as possible during the recording session instead of struggling to fix it in the mix". I have some good quality bass traps along with wall panels and clouds, the helped a bit but they din't completely solve my problem. After reading all the great reviews about the Se Reflexion Filter I decided to give it a shot. To make a long story short I tried it and voila my vocals sound as good as lil Waye's.In case you wanna know, I'm using a Manley cad ref mic Through an API 512c along with RME ADi2 converter as far as clarity is concern, the filter made the biggest difference.

Back on June 30th, 2012 I wrote that the Reflection Filter PRO Portable booth was too small for a horizontally mounted mic ( i.e. Beyerdynamic M 160 mic). A year later, It prove me wrong because I found and ordered from Sweetwater a Microphone Cable with Angled XLRF that helped me place the mic in the right position. With this special cable I was able to make the most out of the reflexion filter. I realized that sweetwater offers the best audio solutions. I am very happy with the audio gear that I have purchased from you guys, thanks Sweetwater.

This did nothing for recording that a few well placed room sound absorbers wouldn't do (even pillows and quilts) It's very heavy, and the metal is of poor quality. The metal threads are cheap. It requires a very substantial mic stand due to its weight.

Save yourself a couple hundred bucks and get a cheap one......I don't know why this is so expensive, it really didn't work for me.

I was recording with my condenser microphone before I got this. And when it was shipped to my home, I set it up. I was blown away by how good the quality was. I have a very good condenser microphone and preamp to record. They are the most quietest when it comes to recording. They both are quality products. But in my opinion, you can't control some outside noises. And that's why everybody should get this product if you're thinking about recording anything. Because it's going to take you to the next level of professional and quality recordings. And let's face it, it will give you the competitive vocals you need.

Read all of the other positive reviews, and I'll spare you some time.

I have a pretty good room in my home studio, with a lot of "real" acoustic treatment - panels, baffles, etc... Not egg crates and cheap shite. But there is a window near my work area, and because I rent, I couldn't do much about the reflections coming off the glass (not to mention a busy arterial street 200 feet away!). My alternatives were to hang heavy drapes and baffles, or to create a separate vocal booth somewhere in the house.

So, My SE, Delvin Wolf, suggested I try this one versus the cheaper alternatives. I must say, I'm very impressed with it.

What it does: it kills the midrange reflections coming off the glass. It helps my vocals sit better in mixes, with less EQ (keep in mind it's only one part of a bigger equation- the mic, preamp, etc...). It helps isolate the mic from the larger acoustics of the room. It helps me deliver performances with more "authority", because with a big fat Lauten LT-381 hanging in my face, and the filter in the background, I can't help but feel I'm in the Big League!

What it doesn't do (and remember that SE Electonics and Delvin never claimed it would!!): it won't tame the traffic noise coming through the window. If you have a noisy computer, it won't solve that. I have a Sweetwater Creation Station, which is silent! It won't change your voice, double your vox, tune your pitch, or make your performances any better- that's up to you.

If your room is Bad, it will help, but only to a certain degree. If your room is just bad (lower-case b), it'll help a lot.

I don't like the price... But after using this for a few months, I have noticed that I'm spending a LOT less time fussing over eq during mix down...and if time is money, the cost of this filter is justified.

I'm not crazy about the mounting, and that's why only a 4-star rating. The mount works, yeah, but I would have engineered it with more flexibility. The angle-bracket is tricky, and beware the Jesus pins - named because you'll shriek "oh, Jesus!" when these microscopic buggers drop out of your brand-new $300 purchase and disappear into the bowels of your workspace. Delvin also very-presciently warned me about my mic stand- you'll need a good, heavy one (especially with a mic as big and fat as the Lauten!).

A buddy recently loaned me one of the lower-cost knock-offs... And in comparison to mine, the knock-offs were akin to using cardboard covered with carpet- very uneven frequency absorption. If you're gonna spend 200 bucks on another model, invest another hundred and get the Real Deal.

So, overall, I'm pleased with it. I can't rave, because... Well, it doesn't change your sound or anything- just makes it better. But even if it were only half as good as it actually is, I'd get one again, because it really helps me feel (and thus sing) like a Pro!

again... for an affordable filter... it has surpassed our expectations. Serves it's purpose and is worth the price for quality!

i bought a se electronics project Reflexion Filter back in 2010 and i like it for the price it did the job i moved and the room was bad recording roject Reflexion Filter need a lot of help so upgrade to pro wow did my vocal come to life best buy next to my isa one

I had been getting what I considered solid vocal recordings in my home studio. However, I still couldn't quite get my recordings to sound as big and fat as some commercial recordings. I doubted my mixing ability, my preamp, my mic, my monitors, my converters . . . everything. Well, it turns out it was really just the lack of a reflexion filter. My unprofessionally treated room really isn't bad, I promise =), but the reflexion filter cleaned up the bits and pieces of comb filtering and noise that remained. The result is bigger, fatter vocals that sit just right in the mix. If you own a home studio and you have a nice pre and a nice mic (I had both), don't record any vocals until you also get this. Otherwise, you won't really know what your equipment is capable of. I went from using lots of EQ to using almost none. I went from using both OTB and ITB compression to just using some light OTB comp with maybe a little vocal riding in mixing. I went from struggling to find the right deessing frequency that would cut out the harsh highs while preserving the presence of the vocals to only using de-essing for little smoothing here and there.

Bottom line: I didn't know how good my equipment could sound until I got this little fellow. It's a little expensive, but totally worth it.

best option on the market other than an actual vocal booth/room

This is a fantastic piece of equipment. I am in a home recording setting, but that doesn't mean i don't care about the quality of my sound. When i hear the unwanted echo and natural reverb of a crummy bedroom, it gets on my nerves. I threw this up behind my primary vocal mic, and it took a huge majority of the room noise out of the equation. It didn't remove all of it, but a huge noticeable amount. put up some panels, foam, or blanket opposite the Reflexion filter, and it sounds even better.

Also, it's a little heavy, but managable.

Works exceptionally well even in a cavernous room. Only complaint is the mounting bracket not being ideal for moving around or perfectly straightening on a stand. Small point of contention. This thing dramatically improved my sound.

Does what it is supposed do. Did a vocal with it and it greatly reduced the room ambience giving the best possible clear and clean sound for that room. The vocal had more life. I would say the extras put into this version pay off. Don't buy the cheaoer ones if can afford it. Go to the web site and read up on how this is different from the others. The theory is sound.

SE Electronics Reflexion Filter

It works well for the intended work
Well made

I'm really pleased with my purchase. It's an excellent product and does a great job at deadening room noise - especially if you're not in a sound proof room. My only complaint is that my mic doesn't work really well with it. It's meant for a mic the sits vertically. I have Shure Beta 87a and it sits horizontally. In an effort to keep the front of the mic in line with the walls and in the center of the shield I have to angle the mic to about 45 degrees. It works, just isn't ideal. Mostly my fault as it's my mic but knowing it was better for vertical mics going in would have been nice. Still a great product, though!

I use the SE Reflection Filter with a Beyerdynamic M 160 mic. This is a small Hypercardioid Ribbon Microphone that requires to be mounted "horizontally" on the stand. Unfortunately the length of the mic plus the cable connector extend too much horizontally and keep the tip of the mic sticking out approx. 2 in from the edge. I wish the filter was a little bit larger to allow the tip of the mic be placed inside or at least at the edge of the shield as recommended by SE Electronics.

This filter works very well, and made a positive improvement in my vocal recordings. My complaint with it is the clamp set up that is provided with it. Mine came with a broken part, but that is not my complaint, and the company replaced it very quickly with no questions asked at all. My complaint is with the engineering. It is cumbersome to say the least and there are a couple of what I would consider design flaws. The biggest problem I have is that you cannot hang a microphone upside down with this clamp. There were other issues, but I won't enumerate them all. You can work around them, and I would recommend this and am glad I bought it.

The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter does exactly what it says it does, absorbs the energy of a voice in an untreated space. I use it at my house as an alternative to doing voiceovers at my studio. The only problem I have is that it's a difficult to read scripts from a computer. I'm forced to talk off center which diminishes the effectiveness of the filter. Over all, though, it does a great job and I'm happy with it.

It's not just a noise screen. I experimented with adding cardboard above and below to block noise even more, and I lost all the smoothness and clarity this screen gives. With the right mic for your voice and the right Class A preamp, you're only 2/3 of the way there. This filter takes you the rest of the way to having a professional sounding vocal in a bedroom studio.

This filter does its job exceptionally well!!!! If your recording in an untreated environment or a really huge treated room and dont want the sonic characteristics of the room, this filter is a MUST HAVE. The build is solid and lets face it, everyone likes shinny things and this filter SHINES! Install seems a lil confusing given the instructions but easy to figure out and installs in minutes. Be careful not to crank down on the locking keys because they will break (been there done that) but a great addition to any studio!!!

I've used this with acoustic guitar, electric guitar, kick drum, and vocals, all with good results. Put this in your project studio and watch your singers' confidence build as they walk up to this. Just as effective as a psychological tool as well as an acoustical one. The price is a bit on the high side, that's the only real drawback...and you have to buy a mic stand for it.

I first got the SE Reflexion filter as a gift back when they first came out. It provided some decent results but I had a lot of issue with it toppling over which wasn't fun to see a $500 microphone hit the floor. After a while I stopped using it because of that and sold it. I later on I had a to do some recording where I needed something like a reflexion filter but didn't want to drop so much on one. I brought a Soundkitz AE-F instead and I've been having a good time with that. It doesn't have the issues I had with the SE and it wasn't as much. So like I say it's a decent tool but more than it should be.

After using this, I instantly realized how many problems I had in my booth, because all of a sudden they weren't there anymore. The big thing is I can actually hear the hi-end content without eq-ing. Everything just sounds "right". And when you run across a product that does that, you need to get one ASAP before more of your recordings slip through without it. The only thing I don't like is the mechanism to attach it to a stand and mic. I don't use it. I got a nice little Ultimate Support stand that uses the European threading (most of them do, you just take off the adapter with an allen wrench) and just attached it directly to the stand. Much less mess. Quicker setup. And it of course helps decouple things more.

Long story short: If you want to have competitive vocals, you need to get one of these.

A little pricey, but like the headline said.. it works. It's made my vocal takes sound fantastic when I'm not in a great room. It effectively controls ambiance without greatly affecting frequency response of the mic. I'm willing to pay the money to get a well-engineered piece of gear the does the job well.

I have purchased this to help with my recordings of quite a few artists that both sing and play acoustic at the same time, along with recording full bands in the same room at the same time.

It's done exactly what I needed, which was limit the ambience and other sound sources besides the vocals, allowing me to fine tune my vocal track and not have issues with the bleed affecting other instruments.

I'm wanting to also try this out with mics on sources like kick drum, guitar, and bass cabs. I'm thinking that it will also excell at these seeing as how wonderful it did for my vocals.

Really sounds great for vocals, eliminating pesky reflections. Only problem is in design: the weight center falls to the right of where it clamps to mic stand and the filter tends to lean to the right (especially with a heavy mic). Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I don't think so. But I just jam a pencil in the gap between filter and mic stand and it cuts out most of the leaning.

As a new "home engineer" I was having troubling results trying to capture my trumpet without always getting too much bottom end and room ambiance. I tried preparing the room with acoustic treatment but it started getting too expensive. After almost giving up preparing my room I bought the sE Reflexion Filter upon a friend's suggestion and it did two things. #1 made capturing my instrument's true sound much easier and #2 saved me lots of money. I recommend this filter for and wind instrumentalist looking to dry and clean up their room sound.

It does what it says it will do nicely. There is no substitute for a room with great acoustics, but I can't remodel my house for that (yet). In the meantime, I'm pretty happy with the Reflexion filter to control problem reflections and frequencies. It's a little pricey, but it's built very solid and will last. So solid, that I would recommend a double-braced cymbal stand in lieu of a basic stage mic stand. This thing weighs a ton! It's currently being used on all my recordings!

Let me start by saying!!!
Dios mio esto esta del mas allá!!!
that meaning, Oh my God this thing is from another planet!!!
I mean, it just makes your voice Soung BETTER!
and by better I mean, ridiculously better, and its so much easier to mix vocals trough this thing. I also tested it on acoustics, blown away!
Its a thing you just have to have!
God bless!

Does exactly what it claims to. I threw this up not really expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. I recorded two vocals for a song, one with the reflexion filter in place and one without and it makes quite a difference. so much so that everyone I played the two different vocals (level matched as far as possible) said they prefered the sound of the vocal where the filter was in place

In an activity full of "snake oil" products it's nice to find something that works exactly as advertised

Well done sE

I had a very hard time buying this product because I wasn't looking for a "home studio" sound or a quick fix. My fear was that this would create a "boxy" effect sound over the vocals an wouldn't quite live up to professional standards.
After taking the $299 plunge, we tested this out with to see what improvements it would make on the room noise. My jaw hit the floor when we heard the vocals back in solo. We even turned it up loud to try and hear the room, but it sounded just like our pro vocal booth. When we compared the frequency curves, it was a dramatic difference. When we put our own acoustic panel wall behind the singer, that made it sound as good or better than a treated booth!!! The product does what it says and nothing (all the other brands) do it so well. If you are serious about making a difference in your recordings that even average listener will notice, pick one of these up for yourself!!!

This can almost be considered a quick fix for recording, but using it in conjunction with a treated room yields pristine and accurate tracking. Awesome product!

I OWN A $70,000 STUDIO IN CALIFORNIA. I PICKED THIS BAD BOY UP BECAUSE IT LOOKED COOL AT THE TIME BACK IN 2007 LOL I AM A RISK TAKER SO I TOOK A RISK. BOY, THIS IS WONDEROUS ON R&B AND RAP OR ANY TYPE OF CATEGORY YOU CAN THINK OF. MY SUCCESS HAS BEEN WITH RECORDING SPANISH GROUPS AND BANDS. I HAVE PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED FOR 3 YEARS NOW SO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP SECRET WEAPONS TO CLEAR VOCALS. IT DOES HELP ALOT BY HAVING A SEMI ACOUSTICALLY TREATED ROOM, BUT GIVE IT A SHOT. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. PLUS, IT LOOKS GREAT! HIGH FIVE TO THE INVENTOR OF THIS PRODUCT.

I purchased a Reflexion Filter (RF) soon after they were released. My home studio room was not very acoustically correct and the RF was the perfect addition for this situation. My room is much more acoustically correct now and the RF works even better. I use mine primarily on vocals but have used it on acoustic guitar to reduce room ambience. RE: comment about being able to move "mics in or out": As I understand it, there is a "Sweet Spot" area within the RF that was purposefully designed in which to locate microphones. Mics too far back within the RF will add anomalies to the sound. Mics too far out will lose the benefit of the sound reflection and absorbtion.

This filter is great, really puts your vocals where they need to be. No more bathroom sound. At first, I was not sure because of the price, but now after using it on ( 1 ) verse, its WELL worth the money. Vocals have more clearity and hold a more solid sound. I recommend this product to ANYONE with a home studio setup without treatment. Trust me; GET THIS!!!

I was pretty skeptical when I bought this, but I finally gave in after listening closely to recordings I've made in my living room. I would now say that this is a must have for any project studio with an untreated room. Easy to set up and made with sturdy quality materials. One note on this-make sure you have a tripod mic stand and not a normal stand. The center of gravity is outward on this and is not very stable with a normal mic stand.

I have had mine since they first came out and this piece of equipment does exactly what sE Electronics/Sonic-Distribution says it will do. I have a small one room home studio and it has helped me get some nice vocals recorded by others in my room as well as acoustic guitar. It works even better with with a big down comforter or noise suppressing material behind the vocalist/instrument.

This is great! I used this in a treated room and it made the vocals sound better and more up front. I also used it in an untreated room where the mic by itself sounded horrible and you could just hear how horrible the room was in the recording. But when I used this in that same room it made the recording sound great like I was in a great room. You can aslo adjust the mic and make your vocals or whatever more or less dead. Awsome!

I splurged on one of these before it was in the catalog and before anyone had much to say about it. I’ve been testing it out in a variety of applications. My favorite test was with vocals. I brought some gear to my brother’s apartment along with the filter, which I left in the car. I tried a take with a bare SM57 without the filter first as a reference; it was “boomy“ with lots of room noise. Disappointed with the results my brother took a break, wile I slipped away to the car for my “Secret Weapon“. I was mounting the same SM57 to the filter when he came back to a metal contraption attached to the mic stand. Everyone is blown away when they see it for the first time. The next take was really different from the first one. We didn’t hear anything else in the room not even the computer. I also think the novelty can bring out a better performance from the vocalist. I don’t know how much it would help in a professional environment, but it’s a valued asset to my project studio. Although, if you do decide on one of these, make sure you have a sturdy stand; you can’t mount this to just any mic stand. I’ve had best success using the filter with tripod stands like (ItemID: StuBoom) and (ItemID: MicStdLt). Other than that, this is a great product; it really does a great job keeping unwanted noise from hitting the mic!
