Inside the RF PRO

    Patented Multi-Layer Technology

    Unlike cheap foam RF imitations, sE’s patented multi-layer technology works evenly across the whole frequency spectrum to ensure a balanced, even sound with no coloration at all. This is what makes the Reflexion Filter unique, and makes it the choice of the biggest recording artists in the world – whether they’re working in untreated rooms, or working in a professionally-designed studio and just need a little more isolation.

    How it Works

    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 our multi-layered design is to minimize the pickup of such reflections so your primary sound source comes through as pure as possible.

    Ultra-Stable Hardware

    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.

How do I set up my Reflexion Filter? Do you offer an instruction manual or video guide?

Video setup guides are located on the individual product pages for the RF-X, Reflexion Filter Pro, and RF Space, and all RF products (including the guitaRF®) have downloadable PDF setup guides as well.

Will my Reflexion Filter work on a boom stand?

All of our Reflexion Filters are designed to work best with conventional (vertical) microphone stands. It is entirely possible to utilize them on a very sturdy boom stand, but great care must be taken to ensure proper balance and counterweighting, as the weight of the filter plus a microphone (especially an expensive microphone!) can be quite heavy. If a boom stand mount is necessary, we recommend securely attaching the filter to the boom arm first, making sure the whole assembly is extremely solidly positioned, and then attaching the microphone afterwards. We can assume no responsibility for damaged microphones if the boom arm decides to tilt down or around due to the extra weight put upon it, so please be careful!

My Reflexion Filter doesn’t seem balanced when I mount it on a stand. Please help!

When setting up your Reflexion Filter, the most important thing is to maintain the center of gravity. This means adjusting the position of the filter appropriately so that the combined weight of the filter and microphone is centered directly above the mic stand, not off to one side. Also check to make sure that all screws are tightened sufficiently to prevent slipping or movement of any parts.
