The RF-5P-B Reflection Filter from Auray is designed to improve the quality of voice recordings captured in your home studio, rehearsal studio or other untreated acoustic environment by absorbing and isolating the microphone from unwanted ambient reflections. By absorbing and diffusing these reflections, the RF-5P-B creates a closer and dryer sound that allows more control over the vocals. It can also be used for other applications such as recording an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar cabinet.

Five punched metal panels and a pyramidal, acoustic foam lining filter ambient noise and help prevent sound from reflecting back into the microphone. The two outermost panels are adjustable, allowing you to control how dry your

recording will be.

Whether it's a home studio or a rehearsal studio, for podcasting or broadcasting, the RF-5P-B Reflection Filter is designed to provide a portable solution for improved acoustic isolation.

Q: 1. Can I use the blue snowball shock mount known as the ringer?

A: I'm not familiar with blue snowball mounts, but I note that the transverse arm is VERY adjustable, and the mount height point is greatly variable. I hope this helps. This is a great acoustic reflection absorber, and works really well for me.

Q: 2. Would this work with a Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone on an Auray BAI-2N Two-Section Broadcast Arm?

A: The Auray RF-5P-R Five-Panel Reflection Filter could be used with the Shure MV7, but it is too large and heavy to mount on a moveable broadcast arm.

Q: 3. Can i use this on a Boom arm?

A: It is best to mount it on a straight mic stand. But a well made boom arm with a heavy counterbalance should be able to support this reflection filter.

Q: 4. Can you use it with the Auray broadcast arm?

A: No. The Auray RF-C20 Studio Isolation Filter weighs 8.2 pounds, which is much more weight than the Auray broadcast arms can support. The Auray BA-XE4 Broadcast Arm with Integrated XLR Cable (B&H # AUBAXE4) and the BAE-2X Two-Section Broadcast Arm with External Springs & Integrated XLR Cable (B&H # AUBAE2X) can each support up to 3.5 pounds, while the Auray BAI-2N Two-Section Broadcast Arm with Internal Springs (B&H # AUBAI2N) and the BAI-2X Two-Section Broadcast Arm with Internal Springs and Integrated XLR Cable (B&H # AUBAI2X) can each support up to 5 pounds.

Q: 5. If you use this inside a closet would it be enough for a good quality VO recording?

A: If you are inside a closet with towels and blankets on the shelves, and an assortment of clothes hanging up, you will probably not need a reflection filter like this. That recording environment will already stop most of the echo and reflection this is designed to stop. The main job of a reflection filter like the Auray RF-C20 is to absorb and diffuse some of the sound energy from the voice, and also to prevent echoes of that sound from entering the rear of the microphone.

Q: 6. How do you attach this to a Blue Yeti Blackout? Will it work well with a Blue Yeti?

A: You would need to use a Blue Radius III [BH #BLRADIUS3] to make that work.

Q: 7. Will this work with Electro-Voice RE-20?

A: The stand included in this kit features a 5/8 threading for mic mounting. This will be compatible with the clips/mounts shipped with most mics including the RE-20.

Q: 8. Is this kit compatible with the Blue Spark?

A: Any shock mount can be used with this item.

Q: 9. CAN THIS WORK WITH A AT2035?

A: Yes it can work

Q: 10. Will this work with a desk mounted boom?

A: It will, but it is quite large and best used from a floor stand or an articulating table arm.
