sE RF Pro Black Portable Isolation Reflexion Filter

Beautiful concert halls, gigantic high-ceilinged spaces, lofty stairwells with glorious natural reverb...capturing the sound of an acoustically-pleasing room can make a great recording truly special. But getting a good sound in a bad space is very, very difficult.

What if you're an artist recording at home? What if you don't have the budget for a properly treated studio? What if you move to a new house or apartment?

Since we invented the Reflexion Filter in 2006, over 120,000 units have made their way into studios and homes worldwide - and it remains the indisputable industry standard for portable, effective acoustic treatment.

The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter Pro is 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.

Reflexion Filter Pro Design 

The feature that sets the Reflexion Filter Pro apart from the rest is its nine layer patented multi-layer air gap technology. The outer shell is 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. From here the sound waves 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 further air gaps before the segmented polyester fibreboard panels come into play.

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.

In 2016, we completely redesigned the RF Pro's mounting hardware to increase stability, simplify ease of use, and provide an updated level of performance, durability, and aesthetics.

It allows panning and tilting for maximum flexibility, and all moving parts are chromatized to ensure low wear. The extra stability means that your RF Pro can be positioned solidly at any angle to help provide a "dry" sound when recording any source - vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, amplifiers, drums, room mics, strings, and countless other instruments.
