sE Electronics RF-X Reflexion Filter X

Description

The sE RF-X Reflexion Filter X is an instant vocal booth for any home studio.

Unwanted room sound interfering with your recordings? With the sE RF-X Reflexion Filter, anyone can capture a great-sounding recording anywhere.

Using the same design technology as the industry standard Reflexion Filter PRO, this is the RF-X. Conceived to meet the needs of the discerning recording artist working on a budget, the RF-X is a home studio essential! With its lightweight vented body and an efficient, redesigned clamp assembly, the RF-X is simplicity itself and provides stellar performance and ease-of-use.

New materials have been developed to make the RF-X lighter than its predecessors but also to maintain its durability. This truly makes the  RF-X a versatile product suited for any challenging working environment (or bedroom!). It features a four-layer acoustic filter design comprised of the outer vented composite panel, a wool fabric layer, an air gap layer and an inner acoustic foam layer.

This multi-layer design differentiates the RF-X from its competitors by filtering frequencies evenly across the whole spectrum. Because of this, your vocal recordings will exhibit almost zero sound coloration when using the filter.

How does it work?

When you put a microphone in front of you, it doesn’t just hear you – it hears the room around you.
Even if it’s a cardioid mic and is listening mostly to just you, it’s still picking up reflections from your voice or instrument that are bouncing off the walls and coming back to the mic. The goal of acoustic treatment is to minimize the pickup of such reflections so your primary sound source comes through as pure as possible.

So why not just put some cardboard or foam behind the mic?

Some materials are good at absorbing or reflecting particular frequencies. Foam absorbs highs really well, but does nothing for lows. This is why the proven combination & layers of materials make the RF-X so successful.
