The Primacoustic FlexiBooth is a full size 24" x 48" wall-mounted acoustic cupboard that opens up to surround the voice talent and create a 16 cubic foot 'voice-over zone'. This eliminates room ambiance from the voice, thus allowing the engineer to add the required echo or reverb to best suit the performance in post production.Creates an instant vocal booth in any room Full size 24"x48" design really works Remarkably effective to control room ambiance Easy to mount 'French-cleat' sets up in minutes Choice of grey or beige acoustic panels From the outside, the FlexiBooth looks like a typical cupboard. It features an attractive black melamine finish that is easy to clean. Inside, ultra high performance 6lb per cubic foot fiberglass panels effectively absorb sound throughout the voice range. The acoustic panels are 100% encapsulated with micromesh and are covered in a tough yet attractive acoustically transparent fabric to enhance the fit and finish. The FlexiBooth performs double duty as a variable room ambiance device. Those that have recorded in large professional studios will be familiar with the variable acoustic panels that are often used to tailor the room acoustics. For instance, a brighter more ambient room is as generally preferred with acoustic instruments or darker ambiance for voice, electric guitars and so on. By positioning several FlexiBooths around the room, one can easily create different acoustic environments by simply opening or closing the FlexiBooth doors. To reduce freight costs, the FlexiBooth ships flat and assembles in minutes using common household tools. The Primacoustic FlexiBooth provides a simple yet highly effective solution for vocal recording that can adapt to any room.

The RealTraps Portable Vocal Booth provides an elegant and affordable way to capture dry, clear sounding vocals, even in locations that are less than ideal acoustically.
This clever and light-weight device (11 pounds) mounts on any microphone boom stand to create a highly controlled environment for recording vocals and spoken narration in acoustically hostile spaces. Unlike other products that are too small to be effective enough in noisy or live environments, the RealTraps PVB is much larger comprising a pair of 2 by 2 foot absorbing panels joined with a hinge in a fully adjustable V shape. The integrated base attaches easily and securely to any inexpensive tripod microphone boom stand. The PVB can also be placed directly on a table or other flat surface.
Since the Real Traps Portable Vocal Booth is larger than competing products, it blocks unwanted sound and reduces room ambience much more effectively. As you sing or speak into the booth, it prevents your voice from getting out into the room in the first place. This is far more effective than trying to block room ambience and reflections after the fact.
The graphs below show the amount of isolation you can expect, and how the on-axis frequency response is affected. The photos show how we tested.
Available fabric colors are White, Wheat, Gray, and Black
SE Electronics IRF 2 Studios Kit comprises of five IRFs in a full flight case for touring drummers, orchestral applications and Pro studios with multiple instrument miking applications. The Instrument Reflexion Filter is designed on the same principles as its bigger brother the Reflexion Filter. It forms a small curved wall of punched Aluminum, with 3 layers of polyesther fiberboard separated with air gaps, which helps reduce room ambience and isolates the mic from ambient noise. The IRF has a hole punched through it to allow a pencil mic, or SM57 etc to be fixed through it, especially useful when close miking drums (to help with track separation) or overhead miking. The IRF is ideal for use with pianos, drums and wind instruments, whereas the RF is used for vocals and guitars.
After three years and many poor imitations of our now industry standard design, we have gone back to the drawing board to produce what many budget-conscious customers have so desired... an entry-level Reflexion Filter product which actually does the job properly! Due to patents on our original design, competitors who have tried to emulate the success of the original RF Pro have not managed to do so successfuly since their designs are limited, and, as a result, so are their performances. The Project Studio RF or 'Baby Reflexion Filter' uses the same basic design as the Pro version, and while it can never be fully as effective as its more expensive big brother, it easily out-performs copies. The metal frame is lined with the same patented polyester fiberboard as the Pro version uses for its outer layer. This material has extremely good acoustic absorption properties; much better than simple foam products. This is then further lined with a high density 'crystal' foam with curved undulations rather the cheaper and less effective ribbed, medium-density foams that are widely used by other companies. The result is a product which looks fantastic and 'sounds' even better when recording vocals and acoustic guitars... the Project Studio Reflexion Filter is not a Reflexion Filter Pro, or strictly a 'baby reflexion filter' as it is approximately the same size but it's the second best reflection filter portable vocal booth on the market.
The SE Electronics Reflexion Filter is basically a portable device for recording live sound sources with reduced room ambience. It is an advanced composite wall which is positioned behind any microphone by means of a variable position stand clamp assembly which ships with the product. The main function is to help obtain a ‘dry’ vocal or instrument recording. This is especially useful in studios without proper acoustic treatment, but can also be used to help record takes in control rooms, where the performer also has to operate the recording device, or in rehearsal studios to reduce ambient noise. The Reflexion Filter has 6 main layers. Firstly, a strong layer of punched Aluminium which allows sound waves to pass through it, diffused, to a layer of absorptive wool. The sound waves then hit a layer of Aluminium foil which helps dissipate energy and break up the lower frequency wave-forms, and from here they hit an air space kept open by rods passing through the various layers. The air gap acts as an acoustic barrier. The sound waves then pass to a further layer of wool and then through an outer, punched, Aluminium wall which further serve to absorb then diffuse the remaining acoustic energy. The main absorber has 4 formed pieces of state-of-the-art specialist acoustic absorptive material attached to its face via the extended separation rods, which further serve to absorb and then diffuse the sound waves as they pass to the main filter. The stand assembly comprises a mic stand clamp fitting, which attaches by means of a vertical joint to the horizontal bar assembly onto which both the Reflexion Filter, and any standard fitting shock mount can be fixed. The microphone (in its shock mount) can then be moved both vertically and horizontally along the bar, and the Reflexion Filter itself can be moved vertically to obtain the optimum working position.How does it work? The various layers both absorb and diffuse the sound waves hitting them, so progressively less of the original source acoustic energy passes through each layer. This reduces the amount of energy hitting un-treated walls and other surfaces so there is less of the original source reflected back as unwanted room ambience to the mic. The Reflexion Filter also helps prevent any reflected sound reaching the back and sides of the mic. Its shape and size have been carefully tested to maximize absorption while keeping ‘coloration’ down to only around 1dB, and leaving the microphone’s polar pattern unaffected.The Results 'Independent test results from the Tongji University Audio Lab in Shanghai show audio image colouration with and without the sE Reflexion Filter. The tests (carried out by China's leading Acoustic Engineering University completely independently) clearly show extremely low levels of coloration when using a microphone with the Reflexion Filter while recording (20Hz to 20KHz). This was one of the greatest challenges in designing the RF. Other companies have now started to try and copy our designs (without breaking the patents which are what make the Reflexion Filter actually work!), but fail to achieve such good results because the designs are too simplistic. The RF comprises several layers of Aluminium and patented acoustic fibreboard separated by acoustically isolating air gaps... and therefore manages to remove large amounts of room ambience with a very compact design. The whole idea was to make the unit as effective as possible, but in the smallest space... otherwise what would be the point... you may as well treat a wall behind the mic. The shape of the RF is also critical to the design as it randomises any Reflections back from the surface of the filter. Products which are semicircular (without the flat diffuser panels the RF has) will concentrate any inconsistently reflected frequencies onto the mic... the worst possible scenario. Another very poor design though is a simple 'V' shape behind the mic. This creates one of the worst coloration problems you can manage to achieve when recording audio. Think about problems of Bass Accumulation in room corners... the bass is accentuated worst in 90 degree corners, so any baffle placed behind a mic which is this shape creates huge coloration problems in bass frequencies. This also adversely affects higher harmonic frequencies because of the massive energy in bass frequencies exciting these higher harmonics. A simple flat panel on a wall positioned behind the mic is a much better solution, as it does not create coloration, but still limits at least some of the early reflections in the room. All in all, it’s a very clever and desirable piece of kit. It allows you to record vocals, guitars etc with a ‘drier’ sound without having to have an acoustically treated room. It’s portable. It uses state of the art materials. It works… and it’s a fraction of the price of acoustically treating your studio environment!
