 |
|
I use a left over piece of acoustic foam for my mic reflector. I cut a slit
long enough to slide the foam over the mic stand arm to hold the foam
in place exactly where I wanted it. Very inexpensive. Works great.
Just copy and past the link below to take a look.

ThreadJack alert!
Dave, is that a D-104 Kermit is holding there in your avatar?

Kermit! Is that the famous South Beach ADK Art Deco Studio. It's fabulous!
By the way, I do the split just like MC but on a set-up just like DC's (except I've just started inverting the mic).

It LOOKS like the old Astatic mic, but it's not my pic... just one I found, so I cant be 100% sure. Can't tell if it has the "grip-to-talk" style stand either.

10-4 - it's a D-104 on the Tug8 stand.

I used to have a gold D104 hooked up to my Browning Golden Eagle a long...long...time ago.

While you were there, did you hear me on the in-store ad promoting snow blowers? With the weather the way it is in the north east it should be in heavy rotation. |

Sorry - I missed it. I did, however, hear Connie hollerin' at somebody to come help in hardware.

Oh My Gawd! I haven't heard about or seen a Golden Eagle in YEARS! I see a D104 regularly though. My step-father still piddles around with radios (as a tech) and talks on the CB with some of his buddies. He used to have a set of those Browning Golden Eagles many moons ago. I loved they way they would squeal when you keyed up to talk  Just too kool!

Apologies many times over for bringing this ancient thread into the new year!
HOWEVER,
I've been saving to purchase this fun product (the sE Reflexion Filter) for awhile. I demoed one in a Guitar Center in Boston by simply speaking into the device at a distance of one-and-a-half feet. The effect was eerie and fun - more so than when speaking into the Auralex box nearby. Let's just hope this thing works with a Heil PR-40 (the manufacturer says it should be fine).
My recording environment is so pathetic it brings grown men to tears.
Anybody use this thing recently? |

Bret,
I had a recording session while I was in Seattle a couple of months ago and the studio where I worked actually had one of these in their VO booth. I didn't try anything in that room without the filter in place, so I can't say what difference it made, but the folks at the other end of the ISDN session were very happy with what they got.

Thanks for that, Willie.
I'm a little concerned with their testing procedures. That loudspeaker is much larger than a human head, and the RealTraps product is clearly made for such conveniently large-format situations. It's entirely possible that the sound which escaped the sE produced the "coloration" they discuss. Wood floors? Hrm... I would have been much more interested in a qualitative test (with a voice talent). Dubious comparison.
BUT HEY, I could be wrong. If I could hear a strong talent *speaking* into both of these, I'd be sold in one direction or the other, I'm sure. |

I am not related to RealTraps nor to its owner, but Ethan Winer (founder of RealTraps) is an invaluable source of knowledge in the acoustics department. Besides that, he's an excellent Cello player (is that the right English word for a big standing violin?) it is in my language (Dutch)... 
As far as wooden floors go... you'll find them in just about every professional recording studio. It's part of what a 'live room' should sound like. Walls and ceilings obviously are always treated surfaces. |
