| sE Electronics Instrument RF Reflexion Filter Details
The sE Electronics Instrument Reflexion Filter is designed on the same principles as its bigger brother, the Reflexion Filter. It forms a small curved wall of punched Aluminium, with 3 layers of polyesther fibreboard separated with air gaps, which helps reduce room ambience and isolates the mic from ambient noise. The IRF has a hole punched through it to allow a pencil mic, or SM57 etc to be fixed through it, especially useful when close micing drums (to help with track separation) or overhead micing. The IRF is ideal for use with pianos, drums and wind instruments, whereas the RF is used for vocals and guitars.
A Word from FRONT END AUDIO about the REFLEXION FILTER FAMILY:
This is the INSTRUMENT REFLEXION FILTER - NOT the REFLEXION FILTER. If you are planning on recording vocals with a large style microphone, then you need the REFLEXION FILTER, not this product. This product, the INSTRUMENT REFLEXION FILTER is strictly for using smaller dynamic or small diaphragm condenser (pencil-style) microphones which mount through the filter. It's also for using fairly close to sources such as guitar amplifiers, Leslie cabinets, etc.. The IRF is also much smaller than it's big brother, the REFLEXION FILTER, which is also why it's half the price and will be less-than-half as effective for recording with large diaphragm condensers, ribbon microphones and applications where more isolation is required such as for recording horns in an open studio where drums, guitars, etc are playing simultaneously. |
