Precautions
Thank you for choosing Auray.
The Auray RF-PBO-16 Premium Reflection Filter provides
music producers, broadcasters, and podcasters with advanced
microphone isolation. When recording vocals, voiceovers, or
podcasts in a studio or acoustically untreated space, the RF-PBO-16
creates a dry and close sound for clean vocal tracks. This reflection
filter is designed with multilayered protection that absorbs
unwanted ambient noise and controls acoustic reflections that can
compromise your recording or broadcast.
The filter employs high-density open-cell acoustic foam to
absorb sound. Additional inner acoustic layers combine for
advanced isolation with near-zero coloration. The vented shield
is constructed with rugged ABS plastic and creates a more open
sound while it prevents bounce-back reflections.
The RF-PBO-16 is compatible with most mic stands and shock
mounts, and it will even work in inverted position with a mic stand
and studio boom.
