MICROPHONE ISOLATION SHIELD Easily Eliminate Noise and Improve the Sound of Your Recordings

PROFESSIONAL BUILD

The Stage Right Microphone Isolation Shield features an acoustic foam front and a vented metal back plate, which provides a stable frame that prevents reflections within the arc of the shield. It uses a dual clamp mounting bracket, which attaches to microphone booms or stands up to 1 1/4" in diameter. The shield's two outer panels can be folded inward for storage or for creating a tighter acoustic isolation chamber.

25dB OF NOISE REDUCTION

With it's layer of acoustic foam, the Stage Right Microphone Isolation Shield reduces outside noise by 25dB, equivalent to a 17x difference in volume! By comparison, a normal conversation is roughly 55dB. The shield can easily reduce that volume down to 30dB, which is equivalent to a whisper. The Stage Right Microphone Isolation Shield does the same thing with any unwanted noise, keeping your vocal tracks cleaner and clearer by orders of magnitude.

The Stage Right Microphone Isolation Shield comes with a standard 3/8" microphone threaded mount and includes a 3/8" to 5/8" thread adapter, as well.

Not only does this give it more stability, but it allows for adjustment of the arch, with the ability to open or close it as much as desired. Additional acoustic treatment is possible using the shield's crossbar to position the microphone closer to or further from the shield.

Customers like the sound quality, versatility, and value of the microphone stand. For example, they mention that it helps with recording, it's great for the money, and it feels pricier than it is. That said, some complain about the portability and alignment. They say that it'd be better if it was lighter and more portable.

Customers like the quality of the microphone stand. They mention it's well-built, sturdy, and has high-quality materials. The foam is durable and the metal is solid, which adds to the durability and quality of this vocal isolation filter. The mount isn't flimsy, and it'll reduce room hum.

121 customers mention111 positive10 negative

Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the microphone stand. They mention that it provides sound dampening, softens the sound, and makes recordings sound cleaner. The shield helps solve sound issues immediately, and the vocal signal is much cleaner. Ambient noise is filtered out, and part of the shield does a good job of reflecting sound away.

"...as well, but this really takes the quality up further by greatly reducing the room hum, computer fan hiss, and other noises...and gives a nice..." Read more

"...The perforated outside part of the shield does a good job of reflecting sound away, but the perforations that are backed by the foam absorbs some..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the microphone stand. Some mention that it was really easy to put together and a lot of the screws are already in place. They say it is easy to deploy and take down, and not hard at all to connect to a microphone. However, other customers say the foam box makes setup too laborious, the included instructions are pretty useless, and the shield is so heavy that it takes some fiddling to get it right.

Customers are dissatisfied with the alignment of the microphone stand. They mention that the weight is towards the front, making the stand off balance. Some say that the stand is prone to tipping forward and that the shield is too heavy.

"...1. It's so heavy that it won't work on a mic stand (it will tip over, especially one with an arm)...." Read more

Extremely High Build Quality -- Perfect for a Long Term Investment
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a professional studio engineer with decades of experience. Any advice I give is reciprocated from credible sources and verified by my limited experience. I am, however, an audiophile and you can be assured I'll provide an objective opinion.My whole idea when building my studio was to buy high quality equipment that would last me a long time, rather than buying cheap or budget alternatives that would need to be upgraded in several years. For a reflection shield, the Monoprice model fits the bill.Obviously, it's a little pricey, but for the price you're getting numerous benefits. The stand can be set up three different ways: #1: on a desk with the included feet #2: clamped onto a stand or #3 screwed into the top of a stand. HOWEVER, since this shield is quite hefty (a bit awkward setting it up, but totally doable on your own), I found the clamp system to be somewhat gimmicky. Unless you have a serious microphone stand and some heavy counterweights, it will DEFINITELY tip if you use the clamp feature. The good news is that if you simply screw it into the top of a (heavy-duty) microphone stand, you'll be fine (: I don't move the stand around very much, but I'm not afraid at all of tipping or any accidents happening.As a side note: the stand I purchased with the shield was Post Audio's Heavy Duty Mic Stand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ALLX5FA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I understand this comes with a price tag as well, but when you're investing in high quality equipment--such as this shield, which could last you a lifetime--you don't want to cheap out.Now, past the logistics: this shield performs its job. I bought the shield to help block out reflections while recording vocals as well as to attempt to block out sounds from vents or outside. It does the job as expected--decently. I definitely notice the highs being a little crisper when compared to using the mic alone without the shield. Does it take the place of acoustic treatment? Of course, not. Would it be better than nothing? Yes, probably.As most studio engineers would recommend, when just starting out it's better to spend some money on acoustic paneling and get your room sounding a little cleaner. But if you're on an extremely tight budget, this might be the best option. This shield will clean up your vocals or voice-overs, but it WILL NOT solve fundamental problems in your room's acoustics.For a podcaster, voice-over artist, or other recording professional, this shield will give you a significant boost in quality. For musicians or producers, the boost in quality will be nominal. Regardless, the shield performed exactly as intended and I would recommend it to anyone who knows exactly why they need a shield like this.Please leave a comment if you have any questions!
