Don’t be fooled by the unconventional brand name – this microphone reflection filter is in many respects a dark horse. And that’s because from what we can tell, it’s 3 layer noise shield actually works. When using the RF30 in a echo-rich room, we could certainly notice a difference in our recording. Constant Transmission- In unobstructed areas, CM28 ensures 656ft (200m) of smooth wireless transmission for stable audio recording and a higher resistance against interference. Note: The transmission range varies on locations For starters, the size of this mic reflection filter is, well, there’s no other word for it – mahoosive! With a whopping 5 panels (3 fixed and 2 movable), it’s hard to find such a HQ filter which offers so much flexibility. The screen is so large that you can practically shut yourself off from the outside world. Exactly what you need for ultimate diffusion. And yet despite it’s size, on a good quality mic stand, it doesn’t feel unstable. Trading steel for aluminium means this filter weighs just 2.82kg!

Call them the secret weapon of any bedroom producer or independent artist. That piece of their studio setup that fends off unwanted reverb and allows them to record songs ‘on the go’, without comprising much in the way of quality. The story’s much the same if their bedroom’s acoustics aren’t up to scratch either. Use a reflection filter when recording vocals and you should hear a noticeable difference.The 3 layers themselves are an absorbing layer, a reflective layer and a filter layer, all of which do slightly different things for your voice. The absorbing layer (high density EVA foam) soaks up audio waves to prevent sound reflection. The filter layer (a form of acoustic cotton insulation) then dampens the sounds that can’t be absorbed, while the reflective layer works to isolate any ambient noise. All very clever stuff, which you really do notice what with this being a 5-part reflection filter.

The entire of the Halo is covered Aston’s unique PET felt. Something that’s said to be far more sound absorbent than traditional foam. We say “Aston’s” felt because is actually patented by the company themselves; you won’t find this felt on any other mic isolation shield!
