PROFESSIONAL BUILDThe 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 REDUCTIONWith 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. |
Complete Set for Sound RecordingThe 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. It can be used in a normal upright orientation or it can be inverted, so that the microphone hangs down inside the chamber. All assembly and mounting hardware is included. |
LARGE, FULL METAL FRAME
Unlike similar products made of plastic, the Stage Right Microphone Isolation Shield is not only made of metal, but is a full 23.5" wide when fully opened. 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.

I was most impressed with the quality and sturdiness of this thing. It looks very professional and is made from a strong and sturdy metal. Although, that could also be a down side depending on your use as this thing is heavy! I would not really recommend it if you planned to do a lot of traveling with it as the weight may be too much to lug around easily. For my use, it usually stays setup, or gets packed up and reset a few times a year, it is perfect.
Recording wise, it definitely makes a huge difference in the quality of the recordings. A good microphone is of course needed 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 quality to the vocals.
The only really drawback I found is that due to the weight, you really need to have a good sturdy stand. I was lucky enough to already have a good stand that worked, but I can imagine that others may be caught of guard by the weight.
Overall, I really like this thing and thing it is a great deal for the price.
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.

This does not totally isolate a mic, but is one step towards achieving that, and when a fair amount of isolation is good enough you have a very cost-effective solution that is a lot less expensive than a dedicated sound booth. Plus this is portable. It folds down to about 17 x 15 x 5.5 inches and weighs a little over ten pounds.
The weight makes this unfeasible for mounting on microphone stands. However, the bracket that ships with it is a perfect fit to a speaker stand. That arrangement also gives it a lot of stability. The dual clamps that are part of the bracket will open up to 1.25 inches, and they have non-marring surfaces.
Assembly is a breeze. The instructions actually provide more information than you really need, but more is better than less, and the sheet is well illustrated. I had mine assembled and mounted in ten minutes, and that included the time it took to mount the microphone bracket and even a mic and pop filter.
I am so impressed with this that I plan to purchase another. If you have one of those inexpensive, lightweight speaker stands like a Adam Hall SPS023S Speaker Stand it will make a perfect stand for this shield.
