What do you think of your Reflexion Filter?

I love mine.  It makes my bedroom sound better than my purpose built broadcast studio...almost;-)

I was given one with a microphone bundle purchase.

I gave it to a friend.

He says he likes it using it.

I told him I think it's the dumbest thing ever.

We're both happy.

Which version did you and Mike have?  The full version has been pretty thoroughly tested and actually seems to do what it claims.  They do have a lower priced "studio version" which I don't know the specs on.  But I stand by my assessment.  And you can check out some of the music on my sites.  Most vocals all done using it. Of course, YMMV:-)
 
Hey...James, ol pal.  I just went and listened to some of your stuff...great guitar work!!  So were you using the "guitar amp" version??  I didn't hear any vocals on your stuff. 

thanks for the answers. Ive heard nothing but good things about it and am psyched to try one out. IVe heard that its top heavy design makes it difficult to balance on the mic stand, is this true? Ive even seen people using cymbal stands from their drumsets. its not THAT big of an issue is it?

I think it depends on how good or bad your room was to begin with. I have a treated, good sounding room and bought one anyway. Absolutely hated it - I was hearing comb filtering and it just sounded horrid. And I did try out every possible position of the mic/filter! Fortunately they're so popular I was able to sell it quickly for almost what I paid for it.

But I'd imagine if your room sounds bad to begin with, then maybe the benefits would outweigh the negatives? I don't know, but I hated mine...

I'm a bit puzzled by this. Are you saying you were using it in a room where you don't normally get comb filtering, and this added comb filtering?
 
Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't even see how that's possible.

I was sent the fancy full version that was thoroughly tested.

It is the dumbest thing ever.



If it makes your vocals sound better.... who can argue?

Of course... you probably know I consider you a musical madman of the highest order... I love your vocals. :-)

What in particular is dumb about it?

Can yours speak out in its own defence?

That's profoundly dumb right there, no?

While I initialy purchased mine (the full model made by SE) to use in my bedroom project studio I found a great use for it at our "B" studio downtown as well.  The B suite is quite literally "closer to Main street" which runs in front of our building and in that voiceover room it was possible...even with all the sonic treatments to still get the occasional loud motorcycle, poilice car siren, and (when they were building the new drugstore across the street last summer) heavy construction noises that would slightly intrude on a session.  Ordinarily we'd just wait for the noise to cease or excise it later with Izotope's RX.  We found, however that the Reflexion Filter worked just as well as a noise blocker on the voiceover mike.  Really, I was very skeptical of it at first and probably wouldn't have even bought it if I had not been offered a "no-brainer" deal from my local GC.  But now I wouldn't be without it.  It works as advertised.

I use it for a lot of voice over work as I have a not so good room for that kind of thing and it works quite well. It killed all the ambient room reflections I was getting and made it so I didn't have to "cozy" up to the mic as much with helped greatly.

I modified mine as suggested by the SOS article and that really made a difference in the balancing for use with a less than heavy duty mic stand.
I don't have a treated room and I don't need to with this device. Good product. Pricey but worth it.
